I had a feeling the forum was going to be restored to "a couple of days ago..." so I went ahead and copied what I wrote down to a file... so here it is again!
------------------
I have to drastically kick up the highs and adjust the advanced parameter along with adding an EQ just to get the amps to not sound so "dark" or "muddy" (especially for high gain stuff)... Do we need better Mic sims? Are the Mic sims as good as they get? What are everyone's thoughts? I get a lot closer as soon as I kick in a bit of BBE's Sonic Maximizer, do we need that in our Axe-fx?
I'm sure we can get different results using custom IR's but I would love to see how close we could get to "recorded" tones using stock options... and even using some IR's, I can't get close until I adjust the advanced parameters of the Amp sim and a bit of BBE's Sonic Maximizer... but even then I don't "completely" get there... The best description I can give is that my "highs" start to sound "artificial" if I add too much on the back end... I don't know if I'm describing what I'm trying to say clearly or not... thanks!
I'll try to post some "comparison" clips to show what I'm talking about hopefully tonight!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Edit: I should have mentioned that this is for "recording" tones... I don't have any other "amps" to compare the Axe-fx in a live situation so I'm taking everyone else's word for it... and that is why I'm asking if we need better Mic Sims... thanks again!!!
