Maybe, or maybe the valve reacts to transients in some way - that could
partly be a side effect of the HP filter, emphasised by some valve effect
we haven't modelled yet.

OK... could this be a property of the cliping? Or is it always there? i just tried it before the first valve and it does
help a
good deal to have a better attack [in fact i got carried
away strumming a funk pattern, a first time for playing the
guitar through the box], but i'm slowly running out of cpu.
OK, the CPU problems can be improved. Looking at the rectifier I haven't
really optimised it at all. Do you have a feel for whether it should be
faster or slower?
