After this thread had ran its course, I have to say I still was not satisfied with the conclusion.
In fact, I considered returning the XL+ but was informed of the new return policy and was denied. Again, I fumed a bit and didn't mess with the XL+ for a couple weeks.
I ended up pulling out my old JCM 800 50 watt and checking it out to see if I could still hear these artifacts.
To my complete surprise, guess what?
My real JCM 800 produces the exact same artifact when striking the G string at the same places my XL+ did!
WOW!
I mean the sound of the AFX JCM 800 is so close to the sound of my real amp. Especially when the same style cab and speakers are used, (Marshall 2x12 with Vin 30's), that its pretty difficult to hear a difference between the real and the simulated. That's impressive as Hell.
I want to apologize for not believing the first conclusion everyone came up with, when it ended up actually being the correct answer!
Their is no doubt that the XL+ is AMAZING!!
