Could be crappy modelers or crappy use of them. Once I first came to Fractal-land via the Ultra, dynamics in metal tones were far less difficult to achieve, because gain and master volume interacted the way they were supposed to. Prior to that, the modelers I'd used didn't even have a master volume parameter, just level. The fizz...my god, the fizz.
I think they do it because they like it that way. So, yes, for me it's a "crappy" use of that technology.
Being in a cover band and using the same sound for each and every song, sound that only fits the metal covers, is no nice to my ears.
