We are simply trying to point out that the change you made doesn't affect the tone.Like I said - YMMV. Maybe you have some better suggestions? He asked, I checked, made some changes and offered some suggestions. If those don’t work for him, maybe you have something to offer that will help him out. That would be nice.
As unixguy said, historically speaking from fact, changing level doesn’t change tone at all unless the gear you’re playing into responds at the higher volume, or just the typical FM curve is happening and things sound better when louder.Like I said - YMMV.

That’s strange. I just put an amp and cab in the preset and it’s nearly ready to go. Reduce bass using the low cut in the cab or amp block. Or the GEQ in the amp block.Sorry for the delayed response, but thanks to everyone for all the help. I played around with IRs and typically find myself doing the 57 with a 121 mix as that sounds best on nearly everything I play. I've made some progress but I'm still tweaking and learning. I find I'm having to run 2 amps together to get the tones I'm searching for in my head. I wouldn't say I'm happy with the tones I've come up with so far but it's slowely progressing. The bass and muddiness is still the hardest for me to dial out.
The learning curve is definetly steep with this thing and I find the approach to using it is completely different than one you would take with a traditional amp.
How do the Recto presets (#14-Recto 1 and #15-Recto 2) in this video sound when you listen to them compared to when you play them?
(Recto 1 @ 2:25, Recto 2 @ 2:58)
I use studio monitors with my Axe III and computer and am able to replicate practically the same tones heard in the video. If the audio in a video is recorded direct, which it appears this one is, there usually isn't that much difference in tone when using the same system to listen to videos and play through the Axe III.They sound better than what I experience in person. Those presets on ny axe sound infinitly more muffled and less gainy. I'm a big fan of Leon Todd's tone videos and I find when I download his presets off axechange, I'm hearing it differently than what I heard via youtube. But I realize YouTube clips aren't a great representation of the sound.
I've ran my axe through 3 different types of speakers. My Friedman FRFR, a Bose L1 p.a. and my buddies studio monitors, all of which sound like varying degrees of mud to me. Perhaps it's just in my head, perhaps I need to play at loud volumes (which kind of defeats the purpose of why I bought this thing in the first place). I used to own a Diezel Vh4 which I got rid of because I was tired of having to crank her up to push the tubes.I use studio monitors with my Axe III and computer and am able to replicate practically the same tones heard in the video.

What are you using to listen to music on your computer? Are you able to connect your Axe III to this system? Trying to troubleshoot the cause of the difference you're hearing; if it's your Axe or your FRFR monitor.
and that VH4 didn't sound like mud? what speakers/cab did you use?I've ran my axe through 3 different types of speakers.

Let's get some Axe-Change uploads going here. High-gain-o-rama. Let me hear what you think is great.
