Been using the FXIII for a week now, ive noticed the High Gain/Metal sounds are really good and also the majority of Axe FX users seem to be Metal players.
I am wondering if that has to do with the fact that extreme modern metal sounds are starting to be a bit "Synth" sounding anyway compared to a very clean and pure Electric guitar plugged into a normal Gain amp like a Fender or even a Plexi,
Do you feel that this fact makes the Axe FX, being a digital device, more appropriate and better sounding for Extreme high gain tones than Clean pure tones?
I have noticed that when i set an amp on slight overdrive break there are weird artifacts that do not exist in the analog world which resemble a ring modulator and are probably the result of the overtones when only on the verge of breakup are probably giving the digital binary realm some difficulty deciding how to quantize it.
Extreme clean and extreme gain are probably easier for the binary realm, however, this is exactly where a good amp is judged and why a dumble is so desirable... the king if slight breakup...
Any others noticed?
