High Gain harmonic overtones ?

[gombotz]

Hello people.
Maybe someone more experienced in high gain sounds can give me an advice on this.

I'm using an ESP LTD EC-401 with SD JB in bridge compared with CARVIN CT3 with SD SH6 in bridge.
On the same preset on AX8 I'm hearing differences between the sound of these 2. Of course its normal.
But the LTD has an awkward behavior in harmonics (I think). I've noticed some kind of sizzle in harmonics, that CARVIN doesn't have it.

I swapped the bridge pickup in both and the behavior is similar for LTD.
Is is something that I can do from the AX8 settings or is it the LTD guitar?
Cheers!

Try slightly adjusting the neg. feedback value in the amp block power amp settings. Also, a higher input trim value can will introduce more gain to the front of the amp which can result in ‘sizzle’. I’ve got a couple of guitars that just sound bleh on my go to settings but sound great with a little less gain. The LTDs wood characteristics probably resonate some frequencies that aren’t as apparent in the Carvin. You could set up a PEQ and do a sweep to find the offensive frequencies and cut them.
