I upgraded to V4 this morning and it sounds great! Love the new power section and being able to bring up the Master on my 'Marshally' tones. Thanks Cliff, you doth' rock!
I also found the Grid Modeling option and I read all the huff about this, so I flipped it 'off' and I heard what it removes. I have heard those same frequencies (at insane volume mind you) over the years when I really crank my tube amps, so I personally will leave that alone, but I grew up with that, and that's me... My son however listens to MP3's of bands that use modeled guitar tones, he grew up with that, and he thinks that sounds great, much better in fact, than my Tony Bruno amp when cranked... He says that modeling sounds more 'like the song' which is an MP3 of a modeled and processed guitar tone. Keep in mind now I really like the sound of cassette on a very nice system, and smile at the pops and clicks of my vinyl records that reminds me of when I was very young (I'm a child of the 70's and 80s born in 69'), and my son is 17... I have total respect for my son's taste and I can't tell him he's wrong because in fact he's not, he just likes what he likes, as do I... I do however strongly disagree when people call these frequencies a digital artifact, because that would mean my Bruno must have those same digital artifacts and I would have paid WAY too much money for it. I'd be happy to let those individuals put their ear to the speaker cab however as I dime that amp and let them check it out for themselves.
I end on an appreciation to Cliff who had the tenacity to implement this complex level of analog circuitry realism and the sympathetic indulgence to allow users to take it back out again.
