The reason for my interest is that using the AC15 model, I CANNOT get the sound I think I am looking for BUT to use the AC30 model, back off the treble and select 1 x 12 Vox speakercab, I get what I think is a better tone. I know all this is subjective though - hence my interest.

I suspect that the "model" AC30 in my Ampworks is more AC30 Top Boost than AC30/4, so that is why I get too brittle a sound.
I have to say that the sound of your AC15 at Exeter was just marvellous and I've been playing with my Modeller ever since to try and get that tone without much success!!
