I've had this spiky high freq issue for a long time now. Especially the high E and B string sound so thin and spiky nomatter what I do with the patch. It's a general problem that occurs on all patches. It may be more prominent with certain cabs and EQing but it's always there no matter what I do. Here is a short recording:
Should it really sound this shrill? The pick hitting the strings is so piercing it hurts. It's one of my rhythm patches which is even pretty dark. It's USA Lead 2 with Bass at 2, mid 4.8, treble at 7.20 and presence at -4.5, drive at 7 and master 3.5. Before the amp I have a TS808 with drive 0, level 7. The cab is cali and I have some filters and PEQ cutting out a lot of the high frequencies.
