I have been struggling with the Axe II trying sounds also. I have a simple Brown patch on my ultra and I have a setup where I can a/b the II and Ultra and still cannot get the II to sound as good as the Ultra for this patch. The patch is simple, just an amp and cab. Don't get me wrong, I like the new direction with all the features, etc, but matching the exact cab and amp it sounds a lot different.
Some other patches sound better and more alive on the II but this Brown patch after playing for a few hours, I still cannot get it to sound like the Ultra. Too me this is a deal breaker as this was my main patch. I am sure its some setting/adjusment etc, but as of now I am struggling. Seems its more gainy and muddier even when I turn down the gain.
I am not bitching. I have been a Axe Standard and Ultra User since day one. Axe II is a welcomed improvement, BUT I hope I can replicate my few patches so I can get the Ultra sound patches on the II. Guess once we figure out the magic setting change, maybe its SAG equiv setting or some enhanced setting.
