Well digital modeling will eventually replace tube amps when the tubes are gone, but it will never replicate it. There is saying " you can't simulate reality" Yes it is true it is hard to tell the difference in a recording, recordings are all 100% digital today anyways, so in the studio they are extremely usefull when a producer wants to dial up a tone ASAP and get to work. Modelers are great for "simulating" guitar tones and amps. Just like simulated leather and sweeteners, they are similar, but not the real thing. Every year for the past 25 years, new device or software upgrade is suposed to make all the diference, and then to the next 20 years with new devices and software upgrades are supposed to make the difference. and we will still be here debating it. Modelers can't act, react and sound 100% exactly like a real tube amp, because they are not a tube amp. But they can give you arppoximations for many usefull applications.

Great job, still using the Les Paul? That has a lot do do with the tones, those epickups are pretty hot:)

Great Video, thanks for your effort!

Check your connections and setup. Here is a video

Not true, the 4CM method allows you too feed the Line 6 effects into the front end of your amp (preamp) and the send of your amps effects loop goes back into the line 6 into the FX loop block. So basically the 4CM method allows you to use your gate, boost, distortion effects into your amp, then the modulation effects post preamp. Most liley the conenctions are not correct and settiigs and levels.

You do know that is impossible, right. The Dumble tone can only be created in a real tube amp, the electrons can't survive in the crystal lattice of solid state silicone......... :P Said by the master himself.

Many "real" noise gates have the same issues especially when using massive amounts of gain, some better than others, The best noise Gate out there is the ISP line. ISP was a comapny started by the origianl founder of Rocktron who was the father of noise gates/reduction.

The ROM where the firmware is store probably has plenty of memory available for future updates and fixes

Most likely because as time goes on, you can re-develop software to make it more efficient and use less memory and DSP. So witht he new Firmware they were most lileky to make gains in DSP and be able to load more modes. In other words the new firmware may have a new smaller footprint than the older version. Software is always an evolving thing.

It most likey was pulled by request because they probbaly did not want that info released yet.

Well yes you can use both channels of the amp. But you would have to switch the channels of the amp as well. One way to do this would be to get a RJM MIDI channel switcher that allows you switch your amp via midi. So the POD would send a MIDI command to the RJM when you switched patches. Yes a little convoluted. But that would be the only way to use the 4 cable method and be able to switch patches and channels on the fly. Now you could do without the MIDI switcher, but you would have to manually switch the amp and the pod to get the channel and patches you wanted.

It will sound very good. But you will need to set the outputs correctly depending if you are running into the power amp (effects return) or the front end of the amp. Also use the preamp only models if you are running it into the amp. Also make sure you turn of speaker sims, yes even on the preamp only models, the speaker sims are enabled by default, so turn those off.
