I have had the FRactal FX III Mk2 for exactly 3 years. Don't judge me, I am serious about the help I need, but the only good sound I was able to get out of it was one Brown Sound I found on the web (Mark Pritchard) but I had to change many things and finally got lucky and made it sounds good. No sound from the original presets sound good, but I love the way it sounds on YouTube, and when I take a preset from somebody it doesn't sound like them. I am at a point where I think my unit has had a problem since the beginning or there is something in the setup that is wrong. I updated it whenever there was an update. I have HS8 Yamaha speakers with the HS8 sub. Sometimes I would use my headset which is an Audio-Technica 50MX. The brown Sound I like is good on the speakers but weird from the headphones. I had to copy the patch I liked (Brown Sound) and tweak many things to make it sound great from my headphones.
I need help because I'm thinking of selling it and going back to amp. I only play at home but used to play lots of clubs for over 20 years. I'm thinking at 20 or 15 watts amps like 5153 or Friedman. By the way, I tried the Neal Shon gift tone that sounds amazing on YouTube and it sounds so bad here.
I have a Gibson CLassic 2015 and an Ibannez RGR5220M.
