www.asherguitars.com by Steiner Gregertsen, "Heaven Only Knows" (Beach Boy's song) that sounds tremendous. I wrote him and asked what amp he used and it was one of the Line amp modelers. It was just a modeling of a black face Fender. So it COULD be that if you don't use a ton of effects, if you don't push these boxes too hard, overwhelm the buss with tons of stuff, they sound good.
