Option to switch tube types in amps (you KNOW you can't resist this one! :D)

[jon]

Just what it says - the ability to switch tube types in different amps.....so you can swap out a set of el34's for say a set of 6l6's. Would be REAL cool if you can set the bias as well. This will also open up a pandora's box, because you can mix and match types that may not work/fit with actual amps, like you can try some kt66's instead of el34's and see what it sounds like.

The axe is probably the only unit that can be capable of a feat like this, as it models tube types well to begin with. I know that the fractal guys have models of a LOT of tubes that they tested and cranked to the point of no return, so I would think that it would be a fairly easy fix, but possibly THE most useful for a LONG time.

Imagine being able to put some el84's in place of those el34 models!

Still waiting for an amp with KT-88's like the Marshall Major ;-)

According to the Axe-Wiki and the Bogner site, the Shiva sim uses KT-88s

You wouldn't happen to mean Power Tube Bias, would you?

Uhh, do you actually own an Axe-Fx?

Whooops! Yea, sorry bout that, I hadn't used my axe for a while and forgot that there IS a bias parameter.

Doesn't change the requested feature really - the ability to change virtual tube types is the issue here.
