Hi everyone,
I have an axeFx 2 with a mesa 2:50 power amp running into a Orange ppc412 cabinet.
At low volumes, I get the best sound I could ever hope for but as soon as I turn it up in band setting the sound seems too smooth and doesn't have enough bite / cut. I also find that it sounds good in isolation but when the rest of the band comes in, I either can't hear it myself or when I turn up the band are telling me I'm too loud. I also find that I get a lot of ear fatigue from it compared to using real amps.
One thing that I am thinking it around people saying that I shouldn't be using cab sims with a power amp / real cab but I find without it the sound is thin and horrible.
As I said above I love the sound at low volumes but I'm close to ditching the setup and going back to using old school tube amps.
Has anyone had similar issues? Has anyone got any hints or tips to overcome these problems?
Thanks,
John
