All,
Since last post I have updated my Axe FX II Mark I to the latest Firmware and uploaded the latest factory presets.
At the suggestion of Rex and randolfo (and others) I tried increasing the volume of my CLR so that I would not have to keep my Axe so low. The problem still persisted. I tried it on 4 different patches (65 Bassguy, Deluxe Verb, Super Verb, Nuclear Tone) and the results were all very similar. Each had a very unpleasant breakup that trailed off when I played the following chord on my Stratocaster Plus

At this point, I wanted to confirm that it wasn't the CLR and that it might just be how the patches are supposed to sound. So, I started a Garageband project to record each preset using an XLR into my PreSonus interface. In this recording, I play the same chord three times for each preset - the results were very revealing. Through my Equator D5's, it seems that this is just how some of these patches are supposed to sound. Here is the recording:
If you feel I have added to many variables to correctly test this hypothesis, please post a suggestion! I used what I had to try and remove as much bias as possible.
However, I would ask you to listen and tell me if something is up. If these recordings aren't comparable to what you experience with your Axe FX, perhaps, I need to have mine looked at. Whatever the case, I am still a satisfied customer and will continue to use FAS for my guitar rig. While I have put off having my equipment looked at, perhaps I need to make the big boy upgrade to the XL.
