I'm still finding the cab models very unbalanced. The 4x12 M with the UK80s model almost seems too fizzy direct, whereas it's just perfect through the amp. On the other hand, the 4x12C especially with the UK60s amp can be fizzy through the amp.

The Supersonic cabs are just way too dark. I can't use them personally. The Supersonic's cabs are just way too dark, I don't know how you could use them really.

The 4x12 G is just way too dark and mid rangey. I know it's trying hard to recreate the feel of a big greenback'd cab but they're not that muddy. However, it does seem to match up well with the Supersonic, for me anyway.

The Bassman model sounds very nice and clear through the speaker, but can't get as Fuzzy through the speaker. The UK70s model too - it doesn't have that fuzzy edge the old Plexis are known for through the speaker. I run it through the 4x12M and it clears it up a lot, though of course makes it sound more like a JCM800.

It seems to me that the amp seems to be designed around 4x12M, or the speaker being modeled in it is a close match for the speaker in the amp. It just seems the clearest through the amp's speaker, but can be very fizzy with some of the models(like the MEtal 2000) through USB/Headphones.

I think the balance between USB/Line out is really a little out of whack. The EQ compensation for the speaker the amp has probably needs to be adjusted a little, as do some of the cab models(and some amp models, but they're mostly fine).

IMO:

2x12C needs a subtle end roll off when run through speakers, same with 4x12V
Bassman cab needs to be revoiced a little when run through speaker
British 80s needs the fizz taming ever so slightly.

Out of interest, I was also getting weird compression when trying to run an overdrive through the UK70s model. I was using a Tele so I didn't get much gain out of some of the models at all. Shoving an OD in front of the UK70s model cause it to compress when I played a chord.
