That's fair! I think using settings in the software that you could probably get the compression action of the HL Bus comp pretty close to the Duncan comp, but the filtered dry signal Blend of the Duncan is definitely a unique feature.
I normally prefer simplicity as well, but I just try to see the three HL voices as "presets" of sorts and leave the software controls put once I get the three modes where I want them (still not totally there yet though, as not having access to live shows to demo settings makes it hard to settle). I think DG might benefit from a bit more promotion about all the software settings available on the HL and how they work (same could be said in general for even just the manuals of their various pedals giving specific rundowns of the DG software Suite controls). For example, I don't think the fact that the Suite has a selectable "Guitar" or "Bass" modes for the HL is even really advertised. Another great possibly would be some sort of way to share "presets" of at least the internal settings, something that having digital software control typically allows for. I'm sure there are lots of people that have picked up an HL and never plugged it into a computer at all like yourself, and are missing out on a lot of what the pedal is capable of (I'm not particularly fond of the default attack-release curves for one, though obviously they were chosen for a particular preference).
