The AC-30 model in 1.05 is exactly the same as 1.03....If you change Preamp Hardness to 9.5 the AC-30 model will be EXACTLY (again EXACTLY) the same as 1.03. The default value of 9.2 in 1.05 is so close to 9.5 as to be inconsequential. If you are hearing a difference it is placebo.
I haven't tried 1.05 yet. I was going to update to 1.04 but you had removed it before I could download it. My comment about the AC30 model in 1.03 was just a comment about how good it sounded and how responsive my AC30 presets were to my guitars. I spent about four hours yesterday just playing the guitar!!! Truthfully, I was quite content to stay on 1.03 for the rest of the days I own my Axe-Fx!
Thanks for the tip though, I'll give 1.05 a shot with the tweak you suggested Thanks Cliff.
