Hello, I´m very unhappy cause my AXE XL+ sounds like sh…
A few days ago I posted my problem in the thread “about clipping” started by Yek and then in “My Axe is possessed” by SteveW but no solution. So maybe I used the wrong way to announce my problem. In the beginning I noticed a similar strange behavior of my AXE XL as “smallstonefan”. Sometimes when I turn the AXE on, I was getting a subtle but audible distortion in the high end and the preset sounds like too much presence and a little bit thin but my unit wasn't connected to a soundcard or PC only to my Matrix Q12a and MFC. Sometimes a reset solves this problem sometimes not. I couldn't find the cause. Don't use active pickups, changing the cables didn't change anything. My instrument level is 50%, no red LEDs, I turn to 80%, it´s sounds a little less harsh but not good as before, I don´t use extreme presets. This distortion is particular clear on mid and high gain sounds but also in clear settings. The next time I turn the AXE on every preset sounds as it should but this problem sucks because it kills this awesome feeling playing through the AXE.
This issue started for a long time maybe Q 2 or 3, in the beginning only e few times over months. But since three days everytime I turn on the AXE it´s sounds crappy no turning to its origin sound and I´ve lost the daily desire for the AXE. Even after update to Q8.01. I make a short and simple audio clip with cubase to demonstrate what I mean, I used the updated preset origin “ 59 Bassguy “, no tweaking, first with my Tele USA deluxe and the second clip with my Paula loaded with Amber pickups (spirit of 59), as Yek describes in the thread "about clipping" this preset should nearly clean and no distortion. The third audio is for comparison, I´ve done this short clip a month ago (I think it was Q 6, maybe 7) with my Les Paul and the factory preset 2290 tape delay (USA Rhythm), the delay is bypassed. As you hear, no distortion, warm sound. Today I bought new cable but nothing changes.
Here are the clips

Do I have to restore system because a simple reset doesn´t solves? And how do I restore correctly?
Do I need technical support?
This distortion is audible with all of my guitars whether I use new cable (cordial CSI), it´s audible on the clip, with headphones and really cutting my ears playing over my Matrix Q12a.
And finally, please excuse my simple English and the bad grammar.
