Axe-Master
Just got my III last week, just as amazing as expected. My only problem is I'm having trouble dialing in my typical tones that I've used on the II and the AX8 for years. 99% of the time I use the Matchless DC30 into a Vox type cab with whatever speakers I'm enjoying at the moment....typically Gold's and Greenbacks or Blues. For some reason there is, for lack of a better term, a "clankiness" that I can't seem to get rid of, no matter the IR or the Amp. I've tried the Matchless, Morgan, Boutique, all the AC's....it's just there.
Now, I'm a HUGE Fractal proponent and have the utmost respect for the work Cliff and the team does...and will readily admit perhaps this is totally accurate and the II and AX8 weren't able to show this level of detail...but I've also played these types of amps my whole life and have never struggled with it before. (I have 3 Matchless HC30's in my office right now)
Any help would be appreciated. I'm just used to this big, rich, defined chime and I'm just not there...yet.
(also, this is with 7 different guitars, so it's not a guitar issue)
