Comments
It wasn't a bad tone (imho, they doesn't exist in isolation) just one that was hard to identify the provenance of.
Good enough for what?
And I think this sort of response best answers your question as to why I didn't leave it up. I'm just not willing to field these sorts of responses.
Our own personal opinions are pretty unimportant - if you like it, you like it. Also, as has been mentioned, in a mix it might make more sense. I don't think it was a good recording because of the dryness and harshness of the drive itself.
That said, that's a sound that, if it was available in a pedal, people would buy it. A fair few Beatles songs were recorded by over driving the input if the desk and that's a drive sound that is hard to emulate on an amp because theyre inherently bassier and more full sounding.
Pick/finger attack
Ride the volume knob
Turn the amp up to adjust for drive level and use an attenuator?
I need a multi channel. You can't get from crystal clean to bone crushing gain on a volume knob sadly. Luckily, there are great affordable multi channel amps, like the 50 watt jet city of the peavey 6505+ combo, which is insanely good once you've changed the speaker.
Sadly, I only have a single channel ac30 type mini amp that I really should get rid of!
Mark, with regard to the "tone of the posts", I really don't think anyone is being horrid or negative here.
You have asked for comments/opinions and the responses have been pretty uniform, possibly veering toward something you weren't expecting, or didn't like hearing.
As was said somewhere here, if it works for you and you like it, that's all that matters.:)
I also think the context of the sound is really important and here's something that featured on a classic. Is it a good sound or a bad sound? That's up for debate, but it appears it was the right sound!

On a different note, you have some nice gear and I liked your U2 sounds
That's incorrect. Posters aren't "posting sarcastic and scoffing responses" as a result of that clip, they are posting them as a result of your conceited and diva-like response that people were being 'negative' by giving you an honest guess.
The arrogance of such statements like -
"I do pride myself on getting great tone from amps - as I believe is evidenced on my youtube channel and clips there"
"their responses are indicative of the sort of guitarists I'm actually wanting to introduce to different ways of doing things"
"response to threads will stop people signing up to something I think I can help them with."
- shows a shocking lack of understanding the individuality of tone.
" I don't think it's unreasonable to remove something I think is going to stop people doing that. I've done at least a few videos, and this is the first clip that's resulted in a thread like this.". I took the time to watch your videos. I don't see hundreds of positive responses, yet the guys on this forum took the time to respond and you want to castigate them for their ignorance on tone?
"While the tone of the posts from most isn't horribly negative, this is not the sort of vibe I want to be associated with me or what I'm trying to put together.". Which echoes my previous post that you were peacocking in an attempt to promote your own uniquely brilliant understand of tone to the sheltered masses or spend hours on here discussing such thing
As a publicity stunt you obviously realised it was a fail, but frankly your the arrogance and manner of you response is far more damaging.
"The disappointing thing is that their responses are indicative of the sort of guitarists I'm actually wanting to introduce to different ways of doing things." - That is so laughably deluded it's actually bordering on scary. Believe me, their are some guys on here with serious experience who commented yet you are calling them out on the poor understanding of your genius?! Get a grip.
