I am trying to see if I can get the Axe3 to sound like my real amps. So far no success.
I was wondering how to treat controls that do not exist on the original model amp.
My amps are several BF Fenders, in different sizes from the mid 60's and a 1972 Marshall 50w.
For example, on my pre cbs Fender Princeton Reverb there is no MID control in the tone stack, however on the modeled version in the Axe there is... Im not sure what value it should be on, since, afaik, in the fender Tone Stack, there is no '0' position, so im not sure how to take the Mid out of the equation.
Same with other controls that do not correspond to the original amps modelled...
Ive been trying for 2 days now to get the Axe to sound like my Princeton Rev.
Im monitoring in mono on an ATC studio speaker that is 3 way with 7" woofer, so the Physical size at least should be close enough to get a proper comparison.
It sounds to me like the AXE is really soft and undefined in the low mids and mids , what is considered "HiFi" or "Smiley eq" without the fine definition of the real amp and pick response. It also has a ton of low end that does not exist on the real amp/cab. So i Low Cut the cab IR at around 300hz to come close but still they sound worlds apart. What am i doing wrong? how come the model and the real one sound like 2 completely different amps no mater how much i tweak eq, change cab IR's etc. As if it a whole different amp...
I might be going completely wrong there... Or maybe it just sounds like its own thing and not like the real amps...?
Please give some tips...
