You 4CM guys, or 2 cable guys for that matter.
My problem is the HISS. I've adjusted the Output 2 boost/pad to 12dB which is as far as I can go before the output level decreases. As I said, nothing else in the grid. My amps are plenty crisp (65 amps, Matchless HC30 and a JTM45) so they won't conceal any high freq noise. So, running these amps at the point of breakup, thinking I would use the Axe for stomp boxes....just waaay too noisy (hiss, not hum).
Any ideas? Did anyone compare to other stomp box emulation solutions? (Line 6, TC etc) I can live with hiss with drive stomps engaged, but not that continuous constant ssssshhhhhhh.... :|
While I'm at it, there's a loss of top end from the guitar signal when passing through the Axe. I've seen others mention it too, but I was hoping for operator errors. Might still be operator error of course! Absolutely nothing in the grid except the FX loop, input impedance checked, levels checked. What happens is a high freq loss...very apparent with crisp single coil pickups into a crisp amp. Sooo.....this is just the way it is, or...?
