Hi Guys,
I am just wanting to confirm if this is normal as this distortion seems odd to me and I want to ensure that there isn't something wrong. I am getting a strange sizzle/distortion on a lot of factory presets as well as any I create that utilize cleaner tones. Most the factory fenders and I just noticed it on the Atomica which defaults to "high but when I went to scene # 2 "low" for the cleaner tone and I have the output 1 set to -5db. On the meter it was well below the zero mark before it goes red. My level for input 1 is set to 45% and I am using a Gibson es-335 with '57's. I get similar results with various guitars etc.
It just doesn't sound right to me as the distortion/sizzle just abruptly cuts out and I have had both my Axe FX II and AX8 and have never noticed anything like this. It sounds to me like something is being overdriven and clipping but it is nowhere near clipping.
Thanks,
D
