here's the clean tone i got out of it within like 2 minutes:

why would I want to disable the power amp sims? I'm using a PA power amp and everyone's told me to keep them on... I've made some half decent clean patches... sounds like I can hear my fret buzz through the amp (i hope it's fret buzz!) but the distortion tones are god awful!
a clip of your problematic high gain sound would be more helpful i guess
as previously suggested, posting a clip like you did with the clean would definitely help the rest of us hear what you think is wrong...global eq's are all flat, ive only tried the pvh 5105 so far.. haven't touched anything advanced just page 1 and 2 but im just shocked that I'm most likely gonna have to go into these "advanced" settings to get a "basic" tone.
and... in case it hasn't been mentioned.. DO NOT MESS with the advanced parameters in the AMP block... stick with bass, mid, treble, drive, presence and level... until you get it right!
OK.. so "absolutely impossible... if i just stick to page 1 and 2 the tones are terrible." Maybe you've caused you own problems?absolutely impossible... if i just stick to page 1 and 2 the tones are terrible... I just tried chris broderick's patch that he uses for rhythm you can see the settings on his rig tour video and i copied them and that's the only way i could get a good tone was by setting up the advanced settings... if i go to the pvh 5105 model and just stick to the first 2 pages it's crap.
Also remember that the controls on the Axe FX amps don't necessarily correspond to a real amp, so dialling in a sound with your ears rather than visually is very important. Don't worry if the controls on the Axe looked F'ed up compared to what your used to dialling in with a real amp is what I'm saying.
i think the problem is the solidstate power amp... ill try it into a buddies triple rec soon.. tones sound fine at lower volumes but go to shit at high volumes
