Hi to all, i deeply try to find any similar thread about this issues, but nothing so i try here.
I'm an owner of an FX III from one and a half year and i always used my Axe through the power section of my amp, plugging the mono output of the Axe through the return of the amp, switching often between the tube preamp of my amp and the emulation ones of the Axe with a MIDI programmed pedalboard. Recently for a music contest i use this machine for recording, plugging the guitar straight to the Axe and reaching my DAW (Logic Pro X) through the integrated USB output, and here's the problem, obviously i have enabled the power amp simulation and the cab simulation, i set all the input in the right way, i control into Logic that all EQs, Compressors and everything similar were switched off, but the sound that i recorder a solo, mostly hi-gain ones, have some problems with legato parts, in fact in the section where i use it, legato is not well defined, is like a disordered chaos of undefined notes, about that you could say that i'm probably a legato's noob, that my problem is probably a lack of practice, so i record the same guitar part, plugging the guitar through my tube amp, connecting the ''Send'' of the FX loop with the input of the axe (obviously using also the cab of the amp for let the power amp release the electric charge), and after with USB from the Axe to the DAW, and everything is well defined, the solo that came up was great, near to my expectations, also if there was a high sibling noise for the high gain preamp section of my tube amp, so i really don't know, if it's my problem, an Axe problem or a DAW settings problem, i try to use also the Tom Quayle's presets (the legato king) for a better focus on this particular technique but nothing, about the clean tone or nearly to breakup crunch tones, the machine generally sound very well, defined and precise, but about hi gain ones is like i'm missing something. I'm considering to buy a dedicated preamp to connect in front of the Axe, for example Victory ones, or some overdrive pedal for getting a more 'amped' signal, i really really don't know what to do, hope you could help me.
