Jazz Ensemble Volume Clipping #3

Hi Mark, I am trying out the Nalex Amplex models that you are developing and loading on github. You are doing a great job! Some models, however, do not work as they should, even changing the oversampling. Please check channels 1 and 2 of the JC120. The volume is not working properly in my opinion. Can you check that profiles? Thank you very much!

3 days late to this but I did end up making major tweaks to the JC120 presets prior to seeing this. Channel 1 has lots of headroom now (like the original) and channel 2 doesn't suffer from pushing the tube stages anymore. Feel free to let me know if they're working as intended

Thank you very much for the changes! I tried the channel 1 version with the new changes and there is definitely much more headroom than before when the volume exceeded 89% and it clipped. Now to get to volumes comparable to the previous version, I have to turn up the input and output of the poweramp. One thing that might interest you is that it is now possible to push the input and output of Powerbox to 100% when before the input after 1.50 actually caused the volume to drop. I don't know if this information is of any use to you.

I've encountered that quirk a handful of times myself with different amp presets, actually! I'm not entirely sure what could cause that effect, but it's possibly a bunch of odd bugs that PowerBox shares with Amplex, seeing as it's practically an older VST version of Amplex's stock power amp circuit
