The upcoming firmware version 12.00 gives you the option. From the release notes:
The Amp block “Grid Modeling” parameter has been renamed and repurposed. The new name is “Modeling Mode” and offers four choices:
1. Authentic – Replicates a tube amplifier with the utmost accuracy.
2. Grid Cond Off – Turns off grid conduction modeling in the power amp simulation. This reduces blocking distortion.
3. Ideal – Removes most of the “warts” from the modeling which includes grid conduction, output transformer distortion, bias shifting and AC power supply modeling. Supply sag, screen voltage effects and crossover distortion are still modeled.
4. Ideal/Smooth – Same as #3 but also sets Triode Hardness to its lowest value. This is in essence an ideal preamp plus an ideal power amp.
The effects of these settings are most apparent when the virtual power amp is heavily overdriven (e.g. Master Volume set high). The use of these modes in conjunction with other parameters can yield idealized tones not achievable with real tube amps.
The first two choices duplicate the previous behavior of the deprecated “Grid Modeling” parameter so no changes are required to existing presets.
Which amp models in particular do you find that MUCH better in the Ultra??
It is getting really complicated here. I think this is gone a bit out of hand. Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate all the effort and hard work of FAS and am very happy with all the updates. But I think for the average guitar player there are too many options and parameters to really understand the amp and cab section. Seems like you need a master degree in amp science to know exactly what you are doing. Can we have a dummy button for the next FW update please?
RECTO!!!! Never liked the recto
Such fearless honesty only occurs in this Forum.

It already has an expert/simple mode. The first couple of pages are the simple mode.

But the other tabs need to be hidden therefor no temptation on going to those tabs!. :encouragement:
