I can't seem to make a patch that sounds anything remotely what I have heard others do with their Axe 2's. I know it takes time to navigate all these cool features, and all the tweaking that comes with it. But I often tweak whatever decent tone I get into a big mess. I hear Animals as Leaders, Jeff Loomis, Born of Osiris, Periphery, etc., all get killer tones out of this thing, and even direct for recording, and it's driving me crazy. My palm muting sounds really muddy and it sounds terrible. Most everything else sounds ok... The highs when playing lead break up terribly as well. Whenever I download patches people put up that I hear, when I play them on my Axe they NEVER sound the same. Does anyone have any hints, or have gone through the same thing and have some answers? When I play with some nice studio headphones, it all sounds like muffled muddy garbage, no matter what I do, but when I play without, I use a Peavey 6505+ thats been bias modded, through a Mesa 4x12 cab, with Cab sims off, and it's a lot better, but the palm muting is still muddy as all hell. If someone knows what to do, please share, and thank you in advance.
