I've got my Axe Fx III delivered couple of days ago, but I'm still struggling with the gain issue.
Somehow all my guitars sound like they catastrophically lack gain on all presets.
I realised it when I was watching this YouTube video on Mesa amps -
I played with exactly the same amp/cab settings and the difference was devastating.
Yes, I can put a drive pedal and crank up the the input volume, but that's not the fix for the issue.
Did I miss something during the set up?
===============================
Disclaimer: I've lurked the forum and googled the issue extensively for the past 2 days.
===============================
My setup:
Guitars:
1) Ibanez w/ EMG 81 9V pickup
2) Gibson Flying V w/ a set of Darkmoon Overkills
3) Fender Am Fat Strat with stock pickups
PA: Yamaha HS8
Amp for testing: Orange TH-30
Cables: Planetwaves
Axe Edit: 1.0
Firmware: 1.16beta2
===============================
Some things that I've already tried:
1) Changing the firmware. 1.15 -> 1.16beta2 -> 1.15 and back.
2) Resetting the settings.
3) Changing cables.
4) Pluging back into my amp - all guitars sound with proper gain, without drive pedals with all settings 12 o'clock.
5) Changing input levels to "tickle the red". Changed it all the way up and down - it solved nothing, and it should not as it was mentioned in the manual.
6) I've tried different guitars, it happens on all my guitars, that's why I believe it's something related to Axe FX
7) Tried different instrument inputs, both front and back - it's all the same
===============================
I will try to record the track with a stock preset later and post it here.
Thanks.
