Hey guys, so i've been tinkering a lot with my Axe Fx 2 and I seem to be making some improvement on figuring out how to dial in good metal guitar tones. I know "good tone" is subjective, but I was just looking for some general guidance and other hidden gems of knowledge from more advanced Axe FX 2 users. So far, my current method involves just a simple Amp-> cab block, with whatever effects I desire. For cabinets, I usually have them set in stereo and I just scroll through different speaker and mic setups to find the tone I want.
However, I had some questions:
Is it ever recommended to use two amp heads?
Also, is it better to use a mono cabinet or even dual mono cabinet set up as opposed to one stereo cab setup?
A third thing that I was looking for some guidance on was the more advanced amp and cab settings. I currently just mess with the good old basic treble, mids, bass, presence, etc. settings on my amp head, and for cabinets I just change up speakers and mics. However, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some of the essential advanced settings (frequency cutoffs, power damping, and other stuff) that I should be messing around with for dialing tone.
These are the questions I can think of at the moment. If anything comes up i'll be sure to post them here. If anyone could help me out it would be very much appreciated.
