[edit] Ah, ok - gotcha. You're saying I could ditch the control 2, use a one row midi switch to change parameters within a patch and just use the big knob on the front of the main unit to change patches...it's not a bad idea. I do find the control 2 setup a bit of a fiddle. There are a few points in songs where I need to switch things on and off, so I tend to hover my foot over the switch...really tricky to do if the switches are all on the back row.
I might just set it up so those particular changes are separate patches rather than changes within a patch.
[edit] although...the comparisons between the GSP1101 5150 amp model and the real thing are so impressive. I can barely tell them apart...I find that amp a bit bright though. Never tried the real one!
Also, which cabs or IRs do people use for going direct or recording?
soldano, Messa boogie, 5150 are where I'd start
I always use a Global Cab on a Redwirez Deluxe Reverb 1x12, I'd assume whichever of their mic options is the ribbon mic one

How about for Marshall tones? I seem to have settled on the JCM2000 model...which is interesting since my main gigging amp used to be a DSL50 head (until it exploded). Some of the lower gain ones sound quite convincing but I tend to find the JCM800/900 models just too middy and nasal.
I think I either have to get a different controller or go patch-based, so I have a separate patch for each core sound with added volume +delay.
Marshall then also jcm45 and make sure to try Digitech brown sound model and also try the redwirz free Marshall 4x12 or digitech vintage 4x12. Remember you can get more than 128fs IR to work if your only using one side (not stereo).
[edit] ...or a better loader? I have downloaded a few IRs now and trying them out is a bit of a tortuous process
