Hope this is the right place to post this. I'm gonna give as much info as I can.
Ibanez Universe with Evolution 7 pickups
direct into focusrite scarlett 2i2, USB to computer
Any kind of tone with gain at all, if I go past about 5 on the input drive, I just get a horrible, awful screeching ring all the time. When I am copying some other people's tones with the axe fx, I get screeching while their's sounds perfect. Somewhat paradoxically, I feel like I also have no sustain. Just tons of noise all the time, including a layer of noise underneath when I'm actually playing. I can't seem to make any kind of metal tone at all because of this problem! Even with low gain I have this ringing sometimes. So how is everyone getting such heavy, crazy tons, with gates, and no noise over the playing, and with the cutoff perfect? I even tried to download some of those periphery tones and they do it too, and theirs don't sound like that at all.
I'm following the very common pattern I see of Gate -> compressor -> drive -> amp -> cab -> delay/reverb
In some tones there's even 2 gates, one on front and back, and I still get this. Here's a small example:
I'm trying to get some djent tones and it literally seems impossible with the axe fx for me, which is funny because i know so many that get it just from the axe fx alone. So something is up on my side and I can't figure out what.
