I don't think it's crossover distortion. My experience with crossover distortion is that it's constant, regardless of signal level. It only fades when the signal decays to inaudibility. As the (non-clipping) signal gets smaller, crossover distortion becomes more prominent, not less.I agree that it sounds like loads (yes, loads, that's not an exaggeration) of crossover distortion.
This is actually something I've also noticed. I'm pretty much an all-knobs-to-11 kind of guitarist, so I usually don't use my amps like this.
You can really hear it in this example:

I've also noticed that playing around with the power tube bias does help slightly.

i've never heard anything close to that come out of my Axe....maybe the unit is defective.
But we never had this problem until v10.00 came out (I didn't anyway). I really don't think all of our Axe-Fx's became defected with the same problem at the same time. :?
That's not what I heard in your clip. As you strummed out the arpeggio, you could hear the distorion. Then you let the strings ring out and start to decay, and the distortion melted away. That's distortion on the saturation side, not the crossover side.That is what I was getting with this patch. As the signal decayed it became more audible, as you roll down the volume it becomes more audible. When I increased the power tube bias, it decreased.
If we could get a patch to try that is doing this, maybe we can see if it's happening on other setups.
I think it is appearing that way because of how far I have my volume control turned down. the input drive on that patch is all the way up. If I turn up my volume control the distortion stays pretty constant. have you tried the patch?That's not what I heard in your clip. As you strummed out the arpeggio, you could hear the distorion.

i apologize if this has been covered a million times before but.....
when i roll back my guitar volume control there is a kind of high end distortion/ghost crap going on. it happens on every amp model that i've tried. what i'm shooting for is that EVH roll the volume back to clean up thing. the plexi amp model really makes this distorted thing happen a lot. i tried downloading the EVH plexi preset that Cliff made about a month or so ago and i hear the same thing with it also. i tried other guitars, cables, and IR's just to be sure of what i was hearing.
and yes, i can post a clip of what i'm talking about.
any/all help would be appreciated.
Yeah, I do hear it become prominent at lower volume. It's still there at high volume/gain, but masked by the rest of the signal. It seems to fade to nothing before the signal decays completely, and that's why I'm not sure it's crossover distortion.I think it is appearing that way because of how far I have my volume control turned down. the input drive on that patch is all the way up.

I´d like to try that patch. Never had that before... Strange
