I just got my ax8 about a week ago and took it to practice to night for the first time. I have a Port City 212 with a v30 and alnico cream back and the AX8 and Matrix GT800. I play a Les Paul with Lollar pickups.
I was having several problems:
#1 its not very loud. I have the matrix turned up to 2pm and the output on the ax8 at 100%. I tried this with a preset I made with the fx loop and no cab and the regular presets with a cab on but It wasn't very loud.
#2 it sound really bad. all the presets sound very thin nothing like what an amp and cab should sound like. even the preset I created sounded thin and lifeless.
I thought it was my Imput because it was only hitting the green if I hit my guitar hard. so I increased the input to 0db which didn't really do anything. This is my main guitar and I was just playing it through and amp and cab and it sounded great.
Did I get a dud?
