That is what I recommend - just reintstall OMG, following the instructions. I'll try to get a better video up sometime, but I'm still studying/learning the FM3/OMG9 page layout stuff myself.

)) and bought the Live Gold set anyway, I imported a lot of the Live Gold FM3 presets into my Axe Fx3, and they all sound like they're playing through a honky box. To explain, I run my Fx3 into two Line 6 Powercabs 112 cabs as stereo. I use the Flat (FRFR) settings on the Powercabs. Other presets, including my favourite Burgs Dumble set sound fantastic through that setup. But all the Live Gold ones sound like they are honking around the 1k or just below. I haven't gone into any deep and meaningful frequency analysis yet, to see what could be the matter.
@austinbuddy : Probably just me and my setup, and again I'm not trying to be critical here, just constructive: but after i gave in to temptation
I used the Preset Manager Browser, dragged each Live Gold bank into there, and selected what presets I wanted in the Fx3 (most of them), then dragged them into the appropriate slots on the right. Saved, then repeated with Bank 2. Then, playing through many of them, they all had that real honky sound. I didn't want to change the global EQ, as I kept flipping back to my other presets that I'd retained and they sounded great - didn't want to spoil those.
Is this likely just to be a mismatch between the FM3 settings (which apparently sound good on your Atomic CLR) and my Powercabs in FRFR mode?
Is there anything I can do to get these sounding good, apart from deep-diving into a bazillion presets and tweaking? At the moment, they're not really usable in my studio context - way too boxy and honky. All my gain staging is OK, and as I said, my previous presets (including all my Naked Amp presets from your collection, which I love) all still sound great. It just seems to be something in the fact I'm using FM3 presets in an Fx3, through Powercabs...

+1000000000!
Thanks for the rapid response, @austinbuddy - very much appreciated. Yes, it DOES sound like it's through a wah - but I don't have any expression pedals plugged into my FC-12. I'm heading back to the studio in the next hour or so, so I'll be sure to check out the Wah block setting on some of the patches. I'll also try the headphones. Do I need to tweak External Controller 1's initial value setting in hardware value from 0% to 100% in each individual preset, or is that a global setting? Pardon my ignorance here - I'm not usually a tweaker with my fairly recent Fx3.

I'll report back here once I've had a play with those suggestions - and thanks again
By the way, the guitar I was using was a Levinson Blade RH-4, with the humbucker in the bridge position, and a couple of single coils. Same honk on all of those. But sounded great with my previous presets.
But I'm now going to spend endless hours going through those sounds.
Great.@austinbuddy Thank you - you were spot on! I found the settings via the front panel on the Fx3 (Slightly different from what is described in the FM3 notes in the PDF), and Exp 1 was indeed set to 0%. I changed it to 100% and all of a sudden - everything came to life. You, sir, are a genius.
Yes, my description of "honky, around 1k" should have tipped me off to the cocked wah setting. But it never occurred to me, so I thank you for such a rapid support response, AND what now sounds like a superb set of sounds! You can only imagine how it sounded to my ears before. But now, those twin Powercabs sound glorious.
Hoo boy, do I feel like a dummy
When the Fx3 set comes out in a few weeks, will there be much difference, making it worthwhile to swap them in place of the ones I have now? I guess the obvious answer is if they sound good now, why change them, but I'm just wondering if your tweaks will be substantial?
Thank you again for your help, and for these wonderful presets
...). Just need to rest them a bit for the next big push, but feel like we are on track to have Bank 3 by end of month/should be doable.
