Nowhere near flat unfortunately. Nor is the speaker a guitar speaker, so you cant really turn off the cab block (if you want real feel via a real speaker thats kid of what you need), but if you leave it on it has the cubes inherent deficiencies.Turning off the cab block makes everything sound buzzy. If I was running straight into the cube through the main guitar input, maybe, but I am running it into the aux in. This is meant for mp3's/ipods. So I am sure it is pretty flat.
Couldn't disagree more - wide variety of useable sounds - even the Marshalls all sound different, cleans are great - the AxeFX isn't a one trick metal pony. Like a real amp you can quickly dial in great sounds with the basic controls....It does take a while to find your 'sound' like everyone says 'it's in there'..
You will find it harder to find if you're not into metal etc however, as about 99% of the presets are distortion patches (which I did find all sound the same)....
But stick with it, other sounds are in there but if you are not a metal head you will be in the minority
But stick with it, it is a class piece of equipment, it's replaced all my boogie amps.
This. SO this.just don't get overwhelmed with all the advanced deep-dive settings.
Strange post...you find that 99% of the presets sound the same? Do you own an AXE FX?It does take a while to find your 'sound' like everyone says 'it's in there'..

I bet you're not a metal guy right? I would say metal guys are just as picky with their tone as old school rock guys. Someone like me who tries to be a little bit of everything might say that there's no genre that is harder to tweak than the other. More gain will rely more on the IR being used so if you're just changing the amps and not the IR you may in fact end up with similar tones.It does take a while to find your 'sound' like everyone says 'it's in there'..
