I have to say, I'm giving it another whirl today, but I tend to agree with this, at least as it applies to high gain amps. I don't know why, but nearly all amp sims seem to treat higher gain amp modeling as just fizzy, mids-always-sucked-out caricatures instead of making truly accurate representations of the amps and while ReValver has plenty of issues (#1 being the lack of updates/support since Peavey bought Alien Connections), it does a fine job of treating high gain amps with some respect and at least attempting to capture the wide range of sounds many, including the Mesa Rectifier series, are actually capable of. I'm gonna see how it fairs with clean to mid-gain fair more today, but so far, I'm pretty underwhelmed. The dual mic implementation is nice, and the room mic idea is a nice touch, but the models, at least the high gain models, are still as one dimensional and flat as ever to my ears.
