    Scenes/patch strangeness

    Had a few blips over the last few weeks that are strange. Basically I Change to a different patch and it doesn't engage properly. It changes to the patch, the MFC lights are in the right state of red, green or off for each IA. But the sound is wrong, and not just as if a block didn't engage...

    Will I need to reprogram when I upgrade to 2.0?

    So, will I need to re program in all my IA's etc? I'm guessing so as we'll likely need to reset the MFC, unless there is a way of backing up all your setting prior to the upgrade? Cheers

    Modeling for different power valves

    Not sure this is possible but: Wouldn't it be cool to be able to select different types of power valves for each amp Sim? I used to own a Cornford Carerra, 5-7 Watt, and switchable between an 8 and 9 pin power valve socket, so you could literally put in what you like, no need to match etc cos...

    Using Global Amps
