Routing amps in parallel works, but is of limited use because there are only two amp blocks. So you can have seamless switching from clean to rhythm to lead but then get a gap switching from lead to clean. And that could be a hanging note where a gap could sound quite ugly.
As for importance - that’s relative and subjective. No, the gap, even as it exists in the II, doesn’t destroy the experience completely, and hardly anyone in the audience notices. It’s just annoying as hell to some people. Like some others cannot play without a cabinet or cannot tolerate latency which I would be perfectly fine with. I don’t know why that happens. As I previously mentioned, it’s not as noticeable when I switch amps myself, and more annoying when using automation.
The gap as was demonstrated in the clip recorded by Cliff with the III is a huge improvement over the II. Granted, there was reverb and/or delay which hides part of the gap, but it obviously is something that’s much easier to live with. Being able to run more amp instances in parallel would be a better solution for me though, even with less oversampling.
I’m not sure why this issue was resurrected though and all of a sudden people got the urge to bash those who worry about the gap. If you don’t care about it - perfect, good for you. In any case, there are recorded samples now and everyone can listen and make their own opinion. Which is good.
