AxeFx III MK II Turbo, A/D Sensitivity of 8.0% has self noise that is equivalent to my JCM800 and 6505, lower than 8.0% is noisier than the real amps.
Why should you care?
Using real boost pedals before the modeler is much quieter than the equivalent digital boost after the A/D conversion, and real boosts need more headroom before clipping the A/D converter unless you already have very hot pickups.

Updated various default values (and hidden parameters) in Amp block based on new analysis methods. For many amps this improves the feel and makes the amp sound more “open”. Existing presets are automatically updated.
I wonder if this helps with what @MirrorProfiles was describing in the low mids & overall darker tonality than the amps they model. FWIW, that was also my take on the Fractal vs amps back when I had my last unit.
