Hello dear forum fellows!
After owning an Axe FX II for a few months now, I can say that my tweaking skills and understanding of the sound has improved pretty decently. I found my favourite amps, IRs which go well with them, EQ settings and so on. But...what I can not find and dial in is a good drive in the drive block. I've tried them all and spend lots of hours. They just do not sound well to me...
The drive I'm talking about is a drive for metal music, lots of gain without lots of mud which I can't get rid of, even when I reduce the bass or whatever. For example, I used to play with a Marshall amp and a Digitech RP6 foot controller. RP6 is a simple device but has a better drive than anything I've tried out in the Axe FX (drive block). Is this block just underdeveloped in the Axe or am I missing something? I have nice presets with high gain amps but every experiment with the drive block was unsuccessful. Please help and share your experience.
Thanks.
