This thread got me to go and try my Axe FX through my Electra Dyne again.
I have a 1x12 combo so I turned off cab sime but left the power amp sims on.
As soon as I hooked up and started playing, there it was, the over the top bass. Too much bass by a lot. So I went into the global EQ and turned the 63hz all the way down (which I believe is -12 db) then turned the 125 down to -6. Left everything else the same.
I have to say I am very impressed with the results. For high gain, this setup is unbelievable. I tried it with the Mark IV, the Ubershall and the Recto and this is just a chugga chugga machine, holy crap.
Sounds pretty damn good now with my Plexi patches as well. I think if you are willing to spend some time with the EQ you could probably get the tone you want out of this thing. I am so impressed I am going to spend a bit more time with this.
Word of warning though. Atleast with the Electra Dyne which rumor has it has a pretty noisy loop, you absolutely must have the Ebtech humx. I am also using this
Whirlwind Little IMP | Sweetwater.com
I would think you may want to use them with a dual rec as well.
With the Humx And the little IMP I get just the slightest amount of groundloop hum which can only be heard when not playing, and even then just barely. And the ground loop hum is a constant volume and does not increase when you increase the output from the Axe FX.
