I don't whether to feel proud or like a total dumbass right now...
After spending a long time (years ) thinking that many of my guitars sounded kind of thin though my Axe-FX III, I just had a revelation.
I know the advice is that the input meter should be "tickling the red," but no way no how was it for me, even with my hottest humbuckers. I didn't think there was any kind of input control, but lo and behold, I happened to be looking at page 5 of the manual tonight. There it is: adjust Input 1/Instrument in the Setup: I/O : Input page.
Had I ever done this?
Turns out the answer was no. The input trim was set to 0%. I grabbed the nearest guitar with hot humbuckers and started thwacking away while turning that knob. I wound up setting it to about 87%. Y'know what? It didn't change the volume a heck of a lot, but sure fattened up the sound of those guitars!
Eureka! Suddenly things are sounding a lot better. Can't believe I didn't figure this out earlier...
