I got this unit a couple months ago, and while I've been thrilled with the functionality and ease of use, I have not been thrilled with the results of my high gain sounds. I've been trying to go through The Black Dahlia Murder's catalog and I've needed a really heavy 5150 type tone, so I've been trying to use the Djentlemanly preset as it's a pretty close approximation to what I want. However, it doesn't sound close to other sounds I've heard.
Here's a recording of me playing on the Djentlemanly preset:

Compared to what it's supposed to sound like:

Here's a recording of me playing on the Recto 1 preset on the red scene:

I'm using a Charvel San Dimas 2 with a Seymour Duncan JB. I'm going directly into the Axe-FX III and recording into a MacBook. Recording quality notwithstanding, I can assure you the tones I recorded sound like this through my headphones (AKG K7xx) and studio monitors (JBL LSR305 MK II). I looked through some basic "setting up your Axe-FX III" tutorials and nothing has fixed it. Is there something simple I'm missing?
