Hi there. New to the Axe Fx world - however:
It seems that I get a spongy sound when using the bass amp models - Ampeg SVT, Mesa/Boogie 400 and to a lesser extent the Orange AD200. Maybe it's just the nature of tube amps, but I really hate how they seems to eat most of the attack and definition of the notes I play. I actually think that I can sometimes get a better sound, just by using a Drive block (e.g. the FET preamp) and a cab model.
However, I like the tone controls and the harmonics added by the amp models. Is there any way to make them less "spongy"? Would it make sense to reduce the power amp sagging or adjust some other parameters?
Thanks,
Lars
