Yeah dude. You totally get it and have the right and reasonable thoughts and expectations.
Regarding deep edits, at the technical level, I also would prefer to leave that out. The exception being power amp tube swapping and biasing. Pre amp tube mods could also be fairly simple and welcomed. Beyond that, I think the way Fractal did it is just too much. It is not consumer friendly. My pipe dream is that it would be nice if there were more simple and universal ways to do things like tighten up an amp, reduce compression, add saturation, shift the focus of the midrange frequencies, etc. The Omega amp sim happens to have these kinds of features built in, because that is what is baked in to the real amp. The MI Audio Megalith Beta and Gamma as well as Wizard MTL amps are additional examples of amps that achieve this level of control in real life. It would be a dream if it was possible for this kind of control to be added in to amp models where this does not already exist in reality, but this is probably only going to be feasible for future Archetype sims.
