Is the inverter phase tube included into the poweramp part?

It should be of course but it's not good.
When i use the Axe with a tube poweramp i shut off the poweramp section into the Axe.
For many amps (plexi) a lot of overdrive comes from the phase inverter tube at high gain level.
When i shut off the poweramp section i remove this part of overdrive and of course i don't use the right level to get it from the poweramp too, so it is missing.
It will be great to have the phase inverter tube be appart from the rest of the poweramp section.
Perhaps it's only doable with the Axe II?

Why not just leave poweramp in the Axe on?

I find the sound more "real" without. (when plugged into a tube poweramp)

The PI is part of the power amp and cannot be separated.

Maybe Cliff could expose a post PI master in advance block...

The PPIMV is a good idea.(because 1gen and Axe II share the same G2 tech for the poweramp i hope that we will get it on both if it's doable)
Perhaps as for treble/bright, you select the master knob then you push "enter" to get the "PPIMV" option. If you push again you come back to the normal master.
