Hi,
I just received my Axe FX III yesterday. I've watched a couple of tone tutorial videos, and have been trying to create a modern metal/progressive metal sound. I've noticed my tone sounds very cardboard-y. I'm not sure if I'm just missing how to dial in the unit or if something is amiss. Attached is my preset, and here is an MP3 of the example: . I'm using the ML Studio's best IR in the world for this. Can someone help sort out what my issue is? I'm running Firmware 1.12 and I can confirm that I do have power amp simulation turned on. I'm playing a Kiesel VM8 loaded with Kiesel Lithiums. I'm monitoring the Axe FX III directly through JBL LSR305's.
Also, not sure if this is related to the above issue, but I also do not think that my A/D Input Levels adjustment knob is working properly, as shown in the video below.
All help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is a really simple issue.
Edit: Also wanted to note that I purchased the ML Misha Mansoor UltraRes Cab Pack Bundle. When I load up one of the included Preset-Cab presets through Frac-tool, the default volume of the preset is way too high, and is much past "tickling the red" as described in the manual.
