Does anyone else have this problem???
At general house-acceptable volumes I get great tones from the Axe Fx II when dialling in high gain leads (or other leads) using amps like JVM / 6160 / Friedman, etc and drives such as Super Overdrive / BB, etc. Up loud, on the other hand, most if not all of the warmth disappears leaving me with either ice pick treble or flat mid wood. Obviously I try to tweak it using the amp drive / eq on the drive pedal / GEQ / PEQ etc and that's fine for changing the tone here and there, but I never get the warmth back, no matter how or what I try.
We all have to battle with the Fletcher-Munson effect, and how we all must love that, but I was just wondering if there was some trick I am missing that can help with this. Is it really the case that a unit that cost well upwards of £2000 in the UK doesn't have some kind of feature to combat the deterioration in tone that occurs when going from 5 watts to 50?
Cheers and thanks in anticipation if you have got a comment on this.
