I'm still messing w/this predicament.. Of course I'm far more picky about the jazz sound than the OD sounds on the Axe2...
But some things that haven't been mentioned... when editing your amp, flip thru the pages... you can change:
- Amp voicing... I'd probably recommend "Warm". Seems to make the bright Fender amp models fit jazz tones better.
- Master vol.. Perhaps lower this to reduce gain?
- Sag is directly connected to the Power Amp Master... I assume that disabling this may get you closer to that solid-state/headroom jazz tone. Again, I haven't gotten good results yet.
I feel like I need to program entirely diff. patches for each of my guitars, and my 335 esp. needs the input gain almost reduced to 0% (in the I/O settings) to avoid the output peaking.
Maybe I'm crazy, but since doing firmware 7 update, while the Tonematch patches I've added have been phenomenal, some tones I use to like, like the Benson preset... are worse. Again, I have no means of verifying whether it changed drastically or not, but ehh.
