So I've been on the Fractal bandwagon for about a year an a half now, and I've been using the Axe Fx 3 for every gig I've had during that time period. Im a little old fashioned in the way I like to play, so I treat my setup like its a single channel amp with a pedalboard with the FC12. I use a Dumble style amp in real life, and I have the Axe dialed in pretty close to what my preferred amp sounds like in real life.
Now the weird part.
In my real rig, P90s are my preferred style of pickup. I feel like I truly get the best of both worlds with them, top end chime and clarity, and the body and aggressiveness of a humbucker. With the AxeFx I can't seem to make them work for the life of me. I don't understand it, but I also had the same issue when I had an Hx Stomp on my board. Theres a real unpleasant muddy sound in the lower strings that doesn't clean up or respond the way it does with my real amp, and I have this problem with nearly every distorted amp model. Humbuckers and single coils don't have this issue at all from what I've noticed. Has anyone else experienced this or know what could cause it/fix it?
Thank you
