I just received my Axe FX III mk2 Turbo today and have been working to match tones with my real amp, a 2020 Marshall 1987x. Working with the 1987x Treble model, the first glaring difference between the two that I noticed was a drastic decrease in gain in the model vs the real amp. After messing about with the input drive I was able to get the gain levels closer but at the expense of some clarity. After mucking about for quite a long time, giving up, then just playing with random presets I happened upon the Plexi 50w Treble High 1 amp model and it was a revelation. All the glassy bite, hair, and gain were right where they belong and it's MUCH closer to my 1987x in the high gain treble input.
My question is, does anyone know which inputs were used for the 1987x amp model? Based solely on my observations, I'd have to assume it was made using the lower gain inputs. It seems odd that Fractal didn't clarify this for the 1987x but did for the 1972 50w Plexi.
