My understanding of the idea isn't to remove any controls completely, it's just a reorganization.
-The Authentic page would have only the controls that exist on the real amp.
- The Tweaks page would contain any additional controls that apply to each specific model.
Net would be a clean separation between the real-world controls and any other extended options Cliff can provide, and there wouldn't be any controls that don't actually work.
That's why I'd most prefer a combined page with authentic controls somehow marked / coloured, and with non-functioning controls greyed out / inoperable.Fine, but I'm confused about what would happen with the current "ideal" amp tone controls. Are you saying no controls would be duplicated between "authentic" and "tweaks"? For example, on a Deluxe would I find Bass and Treble on the authentic page and Middle and High Treble on the "tweaks" page?
I always use the ideal page, and the extended tone controls, even for amps like tweeds. It's going to be tedious if you have to bounce between two pages to do everything that can be done on the ideal page today.
For what it's worth, I see absolutely no reason why you should not implement this. At least from the end user's perspective.High Treble is on the Ideal tab in Axe-Edit.
Things like High Treble, Fat, Cut, etc. would not be lost.
The problem is with, for example, amps like the AC-20. The real amp has no tone controls and the tone controls in the model don't do anything. So I'd rather have a "Tweaks" page that has the little tweaks as opposed to an "Ideal" page that has controls that may not actually do anything.

never thought of plexis as natively hi-gain - more representing "the beginnings of mid gain" historically with "hi-gain" arriving many years later - but I notice they can be worked into hi-gain territory with some fanaggling.perhaps captain obvious here is going to be burned at the steak for heresy... but all my life I've thought of the plexi as a hi-mid gain amp... and just now coming to the conclusion that it's a pretty solid semi-clean amp. you really can't quite clean them up and that sort of put me off a bit till now... was always trying to wrangle them into higher gain applications but goofing around with the 6CA7, 6CA7Jumped, and the 6550... and finding they fit well into that sort of classic rhcp/hendrix dirty clean kinda niche. I know - "no da mike v".

that sounds like a plan. +1Exactly. There should be a Tone page and then a "Tweaks" page. The Tweaks page would contain things that the amp doesn't have but could be modified to have, like a Depth control or a Bright Cap, etc.
Seems I can even play metal on certain plexi models with certain boosts. Try the 6CA7 with the horizon drive.Dude....WTF did you do with Rectos??? They sound downright pissed in this beta. And there's even more note clarity that before. I can play 6 string chords with tons of gain and still hear everything.

If the real amp don’t have a mid knob and you want to add mids, just turn on an eq in the amp block Eq partFine, but I'm confused about what would happen with the current "ideal" amp tone controls.

Axe it.Front panel or Axe-Edit?
I really want to get rid of the Ideal page. It's causes a lot of headaches.
I was thinking 1.618 would be golden.I always did wonder why sometimes some knobs in ideal didn’t do anything looking through a spectrum analyzer
I was playing synth block white noise through the signal chain as reference
This explains it, +1.619 to a “Tweaks” Page
