Anyone else running your Master low on High Gain amps?

I'm primarily a high gain player and I'd say I run the MV between 4-6, depending on the amp model. Any higher than that and the tone seems to just be too stiff and thick. I used to always run a drive block before the amp (which I've always like doing with real tube amps), but lately I'm...

Opinions on CAB IR packages

I have the Redwirez big box set. With it, the options are nearly overwhelming. But, better to have too much than too little. Funny thing is, I generally prefer the stock cabs in the Axe with the mics set to "none".

Dynamics, when to tweak?

IMO, there's really no rules of thumb to go by. You just have to use your ears. It also varies between amp model and even depends on what cabs you're using. I'm primarily a high to medium gain player and generally I prefer preamp compression of around 30% and dynamics from 0 to -40%. But, I...

Can I safely audition presets downloaded from axechange with axe-edit?

Personally, I haven't had too many issues with Axe-Edit other than it does crash on me once every few days and I'm using version 8.01a.

I absolutely love the Axe, but if you're even closed to being as obsessed with tone as I am, prepare for many long hours of tweaking. It's not that it takes that much tweaking to get a good, usable sound. Many of the factory presets sound pretty good. It's just that I'm a perfectionist and am...

Mesa Power amps

I have a Mesa 2:90 that I formerly used with a Triaxis. I've tried it with the Axe with decent results, but I simply prefer using studio monitors or headphones. Using the 2:90 plus my Recto 212 just colors my patches too much in terms of tone. It makes my patches sound much more similar than...

new overwhelmed user

When I first got the unit, I wasn't really amazed by the presets. It's not that they're bad. It's just that I now know that there were certain parameters in them that I needed to tweak to get them sounding like I prefer. The trouble was that at that time I had no idea which parameters I needed...
