AFIII ML Lab 'Guns N Roses' Cab Pack Demo

Richard Fortus says the Axe FX doesn't work for him:


He seems to be saying that the Axe FX and Kemper don't respond like a real amp to the guitar knobs. I wonder if he's tried recent Axe FX II or III firmware, the amps clean up wonderfully with the volume knob rolled back.
 
I tend to agree with him. The volume knobs on the guitar don't seem to have the same effect on the Axe as they do when dealing with a real tube amp. The Axe III seems better than the II with this but I still have a hard time really cleaning up the tone with just the volume knob.

I like how the Plexi 50W 6550 and the Deluxe Tweed handle it. The new Friedman 2018 also does it well.

If there's a way to improve it further, that would be great but I wonder if the real amps actually behave like that.

I *am* curious about Richard Fortus' Voodoo Amps R4 Single signature amp.
