If you use lead channel with the lead drive relatively low, like 4-5, then kick R2 in, you've got either a more cutting version of R2 or a fatter, growlier version of lead.

The IIC++ mod is pretty much ONE CAP.
The REAL Mesa Boogie Mark IIC++
The most significant difference I read between the IIC+ and IIC++ models is about 6dB of boost somewhere in the preamp and a 300Hz low shelf, which implies a small cathode cap probably 0.47uF on a 1.5k which is pretty much the IIC++ factory mod and the III R2 switch according to available...forum.fractalaudio.com

@Mikael Dez Doesn't the VP4 have an onboard tuner?

Yeah but it isn't going in 4CM, so I wouldn't have a clean signal for it - I have everything (or will have by Friday) everything here except for the NS-2 and TU-3, the TU-3 will be last just because it's a convenience.

Feels like you're using two pedals for things you could cover with the VP4.Helix sold!

I think he wants to monitor with studio monitors or something like that so that may be why he needs to keep the pre effects open?

I want to keep the pre effects analog and pedal driven, I don't want to use the VP4 for a drive, or for a noise gate pre-amp, or any of the such. It is only for post amp FX. A drive pedal is necessary for me, I want a noise gate solution pre amp (especially with my Hollowbody), and I want a tuner to be the first thing my guitar signal hits. Lol why is that strange?

Imo while the pre effects (especially drives) are certainly passable in fractal. The post effects are where the $$$$ is at.

Simulation that they drop the exact update I wanted the day before I get my VP4.

with only 256 IR slots in this update...I wouldn't get my hopes up that there is enough onboard memory for Dynacab implementation.

The ability to load IRs is a huge deal IMO. This makes it a much more attractive device for use with acoustic guitar (or other acoustic instruments) where you want to load a tone match IR.

I tried it a few hours ago. its a killer implementation! now, you can virtually use the VP4 for a full gig as a stand alone unit.
