I hear this complete fallacy all the time on forums and really comes from people not knowing what they are talking about. They heard it somewhere and just kept repeating it--but its nonsense.

What your saying would make no sense to any Amp maker.

All your doing when lowering your guitar volume is essentially lowering the gain knob on your amp. There is no magical interaction that has to be somehow coded by a modeling company. There is nothing you have to get extra awesome on the input to accommodate a knob turn.

If an amp doesnt sound good when you lower your volume knob--then it doesnt sound good at lower gain. Maybe Axefx is the one that is not so realistic on the input and maybe he doesnt code his gain down far enough.

Regardless..it total BS to present this fallacy over and over again without understanding amplifiers.
