Got my AXE FX II (MII) last week and I've been playing around with it for a few days.....thoughts/concerns:
- Almost every stock preset clips my output ??
- Sounds B A D through headphones....but my headphones are not really HIFI either!
- Sounds BAD through my studio monitors:-(
- I cannot get a decent overdriven sound e.g. drive into amp into delay/reverb; It's like there's no sustain at all! Drives sound thin and harsh OR a crunchy amp tone with drive sounds too bottom endy with no top??
I really have to work hard on the guitar here to get solos going....I guess rhytm sounds are ok.
I own a VOX Ac30, I used a 12 unit rack for years and a rather large pedal board with all sorts of pedal and it has always sounded great!!!
I tried the AXE with the 4CM and it sounded ok....and it has a ton of possibilities that I really dig (routing, expression control etc!)
Why why why???????
Some of the guys on youtube get great tones I must admit with lots of sustain, dynamic response and realistic sounding tube amp replication.....what am I doing wrong here????
