Now you’re just talking crazy
I definitely hear what you're saying. The Cygnus overhaul of the amp models, along with all of the default parameter settings, gives the best starting point of any unit I've ever played. Really super impressed at how easy it is to get tones that both feel and sound great with much less effort. Really stoked.
John Johnson founded digitech and Johnson amplification. Harmon bought out digitech and eventually killed off the multi effects side of the business. They still manufacturer pedals under both DOD and Digitech trademarks. Johnson Amplification has been gone since 2002.I definitely hear what you're saying.

One specific example - the new Friedman (H)BE v1/2 patch. Holy cow, that HBE V1 Fat scene! I've just been using that one as is so far. I'm sure I'll start playing around with settings at some point but I just have so much fun playing it right now that....well.....maybe I'll get around to messing with it at some point.....maybe....LOL!
EDIT: I also realize that the guitar has a lot to do with the equation of "what works", so for reference, I'm using a Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas (MiM) with Seymour Duncan Parallel Axis pickups (1n in neck, 2b in bridge), and a bunch of brass, titanium, and stainless screw upgrades from FU-Tone. Bolt-on Floyd Rose superstrat heaven.
I haven't been this happy with the tone and feel of a unit since the old Johnson stuff in the late 90's (they got bought out by Digitech and were eventually dissolved). Had a J-Station and a Millenium 2x12 combo.
I landed on that one yesterday and spent several hours with it with the TS drive on. Really good with my McNaught singlecut.I definitely hear what you're saying.

That’s a nice piece of info. I knew they were bought by Harman. A friend bought a digitech “The Drop” and needed some help and went to the digitech website and was shocked to see how their product line was reduced. In the 80’s they were pretty dominant and the Johnson amps was a modeler that actually sounded good. Adrian Belew used a pair of them for awhile.
Oh oh you're on the slippery slope now .... first it's lose the effects and savour the pure amp tone, then before you know it you'll be wearing a hat indoors and only 30 year or older nitrocellulose coated guitar bodies and vintage tuning pegs will be good enoughI've been an effects junkie since I started playing over 30 years ago. Am I suddenly cured???
I guess you mean Enhancer?
Try replicating that with the Input EQ inside your amp block and you can save some CPU real estate! Cliff even shared how to replicate the Friedman C45 mod using the input EQ on ANY amp. The possibilities are truly endless in the Fractal-verse.
