You're probably not maintaining stereo. Collapsing to mono will always make things sound "2Difying".
Listening to your clip, it's in mono.
If what you're hearing going in is stereo, there's a big difference right there.
i have the same issue so I just went back the the scarlet 2i2 imputs and its ok now...but I was going mono...I'll try stereo and see if that helps..
I always put it down to a psychoacoustic effect, when you're playing it sounds different.
Biggest mistake people make is string noise, when your recording at home and it's fairly quiet you will hear the strings add to your mix, sometimes even the body of the guitar will resonate against your chest. To check for this try recording with monitors cranked and see if it sounds the same on playback.

In the Axe Fx, I have everything panned to the center (cabs, plus there are no additional FX after the cab block), so it's gonna sound mono. I recorded it to a stereo track in Cubase because that's what I hear through the monitors... Even setting the cabs to mono, the output of the Axe Fx II is stereo to my monitors.. So basically, I set it up to record in such a way (stereo track) to mimic exactly what's going on with the Axe Fx II if that makes sense. I have not yet forced the Axe Fx it itself to be mono, so I believe this setup would be the most accurate... Stereo out via USB to a stereo track... even if the cabs are panned to the center.
Usually, I actually record mono and double track panning L/R.
The “brightness” that you hear is the acoustic sound of your guitar. When you play back a recording of that guitar, you’re no longer playing the guitar, so its acoustic sound is no longer part of what you hear.hello guys. I have same issue. I use cubase for recording. I have axe fx II. I record in stereo track on cubase. But when I record it Ioses its brightness. It drives me nuts. any tip? thanks
Yes, i wonderful if it would work good to mic the acoustic sound and mix it with usb outputThe “brightness” that you hear is the acoustic sound of your guitar.

I use Audacity but can only record the clean sound without the effects from the axe fx 2+. Does anyone know how to record it with the effects?
I have connected my Axe FX through USB directly into my laptop. My guitar is in the front instrument input.
Thank you for the quick response. I will try.Configure Audicity to use USB channels 1/2 instead of 3/4.
