I’m having these issues too …. Have since the beginning. Dweezil’s patches, Pete Thorn’s, Mark’s etc; etc; …. They all sound terribly “woofy” when I load them up on my Axe ….
I use: Output # 1 ( Low Imp. ) out directly to a pair of KRK V4 Mk II monitors …, no changes to anything “global” ever since I bought my Ultra a year ago !
Truthfully, I just figured it was my “guitar”. Because to start with, it’s a weird combination of woods ( Mahogany Body / Maple Top ) with a ( Maple / Maple ) Neck …, and I took out the stock DiMarzio HS-3 “high output” pickup years ago in favor of a S.D. EVH Custom shop “low output” PAF style pickup ( which I'm now replacing with a Suhr Aldrich ), which should be much closer to the original pickup in output ....
Now that others are having the same problems, I’m not so sure ?
Although I doubt the problem is with Mark’s Axe. Because it seems the majority of folks load up his patches with no problem ( or at least no problem, now that Mark has published his Global EQ adjustments ) ….
Plus a few months ago, I sent Mark one of my patches to try out. I expected him to tell me it was so bright and shrill that he couldn't use it. That didn't seem to be the case ( O.K., it's a one-way issue, now I'm really confused ) ? Mark's only comments were that I had WAY too many effects on it. Well O.K., it was my attemtp at a Steve Lukather Lead sound ( w/both the Lexi Pan & Circular delays ) ..., so he had a point there !
More likely the problem is mine, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what I should / could do differently ?
