Pro Channel Console Emulation Question

When I adjust the drive control pot on the Pro Channel console emulation plugin (Bus variant) I cannot hear any difference in the sound.... low level harmonic distortion etc
It seems non functional.   The trim pot does work correctly with the channel variant but I get the same seemingly non functional result with the drive pot.
Compare this to wave NLS plugin which has a wide range of analog coloration with the drive pot and you can really hear the difference.
 
Has anyone using the PC console emulation plugin noticed this?

Those top console manufacturers would have given an arm to achieve the specs of any modern DAW.
 
Simulating their barely perceptible residual shortcomings is a bizarre concept.

Cranking the emulator is not the way that I would use it. If you compare the waves nls to the cakewalk version and crank the drive on each the end result is worlds apart. The cakewalk version has no audible effect. 
My test mix had all channels (40 tracks) and busses (12) with an instance of the cakewalk console emulator.  I used quick groups to 
link all 40 drive pots together and when cycling them thru their full range there is no audible difference with 40 tracks. Busses ....same results
 
The same test using waves nls plugin will give  you a distorted mess.
 
It doesn't seem like the Cakewalk  console emulation is working when using waves nls as the standard of what a console emulation should be.
 
That is not to say that the cakewalk emulator has no effect on the mix. If I A-B an identical mix ,each channel and buss with the proper emulator the mix is softened just a bit but the drive pot has no audible effect in my A-B Test.
 
I like the prochannel implementation of the plugin with quick groups control over it's settings. The NLS version is a little more cumbersome to set up but at the end of it all you have the drop down VCA groups console accessible from any instance so control is easy. 
 
Hey.... I like the Pro Channel.  Hopefully more plugin manufactures will port their plugins to Pro Channel.

if waves nls plugin gives you a distorted mess when over used why would you use it as the standard of what console emulation should be.

Wow........Your process of logical deduction.......
