So, I finally got it. The whole lot, Axe II + MFC + Mission SP-1. And I must say that I've been having mixed feelings. Some of it sounds good, but all the high-gain metal sounds have really lacked some of what I was after. They're definitely AAA quality in other people's videos and recordings, but mine seem to lack that magical something. Mine seems to lack some serious gain and the notes' distortion dies quite quickly, turning into clean. I've checked my I/O, but am still unsure where the problem is. Input Gain should also be adjusted properly.
Just to troubleshoot, here's a quick recording involving three different presets:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0effj236d8mv25d/HelpAManOut.mp3
The first is Wes Hauch's (The Faceless) Picky Riffs preset. It's a preset he uses live - it just CAN'T sound like that. I know there's a massive noisegate which blocks and interferes with the arpeggios in the recording and makes it sound crap - but there's got to be other stuff involved, too - stuff that's more or less wrong in my end. And not just my sucky playing =D The second one is the stock FAS Modern and the third is a Brit JVM OD2 patch.
Now, I'm asking for HELP. Anything to make the situation better!
What I think would be the best - is for you to do a quick 20~ second something clip of a high-gain metal recording and post the patch. So I could make a recording of my own and see where the problem lies.
I'd really appreciate it, I'm in the beginning of a huge learning experience, and ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!
P.S. I'm not really feeling disappointed. I'm just feeling challenged and quite excited about it too :lol
Thanks a lot guys,
