Where is all the reverb coming from?

[JGeorgeson42]

I'm brand new to using desktop software/modelling. I have AmpliTube 5 MAX v2 and ToneX Max loaded. I'm using a Mustang Micro (the original one) set for direct mode with ASIO4ALL on Windows 11.

My issue is that there seems to be reverb being added all over the place. I'm using the British Tube Lead 1 amp with reverb set to zero. and with no effects added it sound fine, no reverb. But then adding effects that should have nothing to do with reverb (such as the Slash octo blue, or the generic SD-1 overdrive, or the Satch distortion) I hear a tone of reverb on the output. When I change out the amp to American Vintage T with the reverb down, then those same pedals suddenly don't add reverb anymore.

I have nothing against reverb, but I would like to understand why it's being added in situations where I don't expect it to be.

Sounds like from your description that you are running both the AT5 and Tonex apps at the same time, I would suggest NOT doing that. You can get to all the Tonex sounds from inside AT5.
Running them both means your DI is getting processed by both. If the lag time differs by a little between the two, that delay could be what you are hearing. If you want both an AT5 and a Tonex model at the same time you can still do that by using a split signal chain inside just AT5.
