Hi all, this is more of a rant on my part, just need to let off some steam....
I am having a lot of trouble dialing in a useable and satisfactory tone with my 7 string and Alto speaker. I have tried everything I could to get a good sound. It is just super muddy. The 7 strings I am using are Ibanez universe with passives and Ibanez rg Iron label with EMG 707's. The 707's sound a lot worse! On youtube I have seen guys with 707's and their axe ii's produce amazing tones, yet I am nowhere close to it. Even with following their directions for set ups...
I am starting to think it is the speaker I have, just not very good for this axe unit. I have a bryston power amp which I used in the Ultra days but its not great. I am going to borrow a 2x12 with v30's from a friend of mine and see how it sounds. I understand I will lose the cab sim option but if it sounds better to my ears then thats the way I am going.
rant over!
