I've got an AX8 from more than a year but I've used it live twice. My main tones are different from most people here: I play Knopfler and Gilmour sounds in one group and I starting to play in a U2 tribute band. I mostly use the vibrolux, the twin, the comet 60 and the Hiwatt in the first group and AC30 in the second one. My main guitars are three strats with CS '69/SSL5, Klein 65 and Lollar blackface pickups and a japanese Tokai Les Paul with Antiquities.
I use a Matrix FR12 live and usually either of the groups PA for monitoring at rehearsal. With both can't get rid of ice picking. It's like there were two layers of sound: one the harsh, ice picking and other the rest of the sound. I can reduce treble, low the high cut in the cab block and notice that in the second "layer" but the other one, the ice picking, doesn't seems to change. It gets a bit better but with the downside of taking away the liveness of the sound.
Any tips to reduce ice picking?
