Zen Master
This model is based on a Budda Twinmaster 2x12 combo. The Budda has a great, warm,
Class A/B, sound. The Budda philosophy is all about power tube distortion. Simplicity
is the key. With relatively low front end gain, highly interactive tone controls, and
tube rectifier “sag,” it’s great at getting a classic cranked sound for small gigs and
recording (it’s all of 18 watts). Since the original Twinmaster has no mid control, we’ve
added a little bonus to our model in the form of some post-Amp Model mid contouring
available via POD
XT’s MIDDLE control. As is true for all such “bonus” tone controls on
POD
XT’s models, you should set this control to 12 o’clock to get groovy with the
unadorned Budda-style vibe.
We used the Twinmaster’s Input 2, which is lower gain, when creating this model.
