Something I've noticed with my axe II is that the guitar you put in front of it makes a huge difference to the resultant sound. This sounds like I'm stating the obvious- which in a way I am; I EXPECT the axefx to react to the individual tone of my guitar/pickups etc, if it is to be accurate like a real tube amp.
What surprised me is the degree by which the Axe does this. If I plug in my different guitars to my real 5150 mk2 I get the different flavours of each of my guitars through what essentially sounds like the same rig.
If I do the same but with the 6160 II model in the AFX, I get a MUCH bigger tonal variation where I start to consider making MAJOR changes to the patch.
I've noticed that the feel of the amp shifts so much with each of my guitars with the AFX in comparison to with the real amp. One of my guitars with an alnico nailbomb in the bridge sounds quite loose and flubby if I built the patch using another guitar which has a ceramic nailbomb in the bridge. This is not nearly as noticeable through the real amp.
Of course this isn't a major problem in practise, as I simply create a different set of patches for each of my different guitars, but I am however curious as to why there is a much bigger difference in the AFX than with a real amp.
