I recently bought the real JP-2C amp and I wanted ask a few questions about the modeled amp on the AxeFx3/FM3.
Last night with my band, I used the following settings on the real JP2C through a Mesa 2x12 cab. Note that presence is pulled and shred mode is off on the real amp. I found that these settings worked incredibly well, and the amp had virtually no hiss, even with the master set this loud. I've never had an amp that sounded so amazing. Please see preamp and 5 band eq settings attached. I found that the low end was very focused and tight. I didn't need any kind of pre-amp boost or cut that is available in the AxeFx. The shred mode mode sounded too harsh so I turned it off; it sounded great without it.
I also a have a patch that I made with some IRs on the AxeFx with the settings attached in the pic. I tried using those same settings through my Matrix GT1000Fx with the real 2x12 Mesa boogie cab (note that the IRs are bypassed for the test). I noticed that without the cut or preamp boost engaged, the AxeFx sounded really boomy through the cabs, unless I use those cuts or boosts like I've been using for the IRs. When I made this patch, I used the input boost because it sounded too boomy through the IRs as well with these settings.
I'd like to use the AxeFx in the same way that I'm using the real amp--without boosts--because I like how it feels and sounds. Apart from having the high treble set to 3.58 to mimic the shred mode (which I'm not using on the real amp), do you think I'm getting the boominess from the Axefx from the preamp or the 5 band eq on the AxeFx? Note that I'm trying to turn the input boost off because I don't need it with the real amp and cab.
By the way, the JP2C green channel is spot on perfect. I've been using it without the 5 band EQ. So I think the boominess on the yellow channel might be the output EQ. Any tips or comments for how to adjust my AxeFx settings without using cuts or boosts in the preamp so make it sound like my real JP2C? It's really hard to compare the output EQs.
