The affect of changing tubes is realistic and subtle? http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threa...-version-12-04-public-beta.80497/#post-977759
IIRC, Cliff has also noted in discussion regarding tube type that one of the reasons changing JUST power tube models specifically is more subtle than people expect is because by simply changing tube type you are not changing the stuff you would change to accommodate the power tube change in the surrounding circuit (which very frequently, in the real world, is not possible without physical modifications to the amp)...The affect of changing tubes is realistic and subtle? http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threa...-version-12-04-public-beta.80497/#post-977759
Lots of cool FX pedal models are in the works now I believe.
Any good reasons to believe this? I very much hope it's true, but I'm not near any valid sources, other than this forum.

My experience with changing tubes in my triaxis was frustrating, and eye opening.
it's been a while since effects got an injection of coolness.. that's for sure.
Isn't it how the different tubes affect the rest of the circuit that makes the difference when you swap tubes of the same type?
If the AxeFx is using a component based approach (which has been claimed before and strikes me as likely) to where you can swap type... it probably has things modeled to this level of detail already to where you could meaningfully do variants within a type based on measured values...
Many of us musicians are technical types as well. I design and verify digital logic for mobile phones. We have a natural curiosity about hows things work.The "how I think it works" conversations in the new firmware threads always baffle me.
I mean, by all means, speculate all you want, I'm not gonna stop you. But personally, when I get a new firmware, my mind is completely "the-tonzzz-Ima-go-play-guitar." I could not possibly give a single care as to why, or how, as long as it does.
You guys have waaaay too much time on your hands, and that's coming from a stay at home dad/musician, and both my kids are in school, and one of them does half my house work for me. I mostly fold clothes, do band stuff, and not much else, lately.
I mean, the only reason I'm here typing this now, instead of doing band stuff, is that I'm waiting on my bassist to get here, so I can do band stuff.
More playing with it last night. It does something to the low end, low mids, either more of it or less treble. I had to add some high end to compensate, and pull back depth on occasion.
