    Maximising Scene Switching Performance

    The biggest lag you'll find is when switching amp blocks between X and Y. So switching amp 1 X-Y or vice versa will do it. Also if you have 2 amps loaded say Amp 1 Y (enabled in scene 1) and amp 2 X (bypassed in scene 1) and you switch to scene 2 which then has Amp 2 Y enabled, you'll get the...

    Still something lacking in modeling the amp?

    Part of the issue is you haven't told us what amp/cab models you're using. MoP is definitely a MK IIC+ slaved into a Marshall preamp. One thing you might try is using IIC+ in the axe and changing the tube types to el34s. The second clip from Heathen - I'm not familiar with them but 80's Bay...

    Axe II, MFC and TriAxis

    My rig sounds fairly quiet. I haven't had any issues w noise. Fwiw I also don't use a high gate because I don't want to kill my dynamics and I don't use too much, but still a decent amount of gain.

    I would rebuild a patch with one amp, one cab and no fx first and monitor it in mono just to be sure it's not some sort of phasing issue. If that sounds ok then you might want to check your output settings.

    Mission WhaWha pedal only works as volume pedal after update

    You can't do anything with that block because you have a modifier attached to it. You need to remove the modifier in order to manually do anything with it. As far as the pedal goes, I had the same issue. It lost calibration. Try recalibrating it and see if that works.
