I posted about this the other day, but the thread got silly.
I am really struggling to find a sound that is clean with the volume backed off and a nice 'warm' drive sound with the vol up full.
I had another go today but with unwelcome results. I used the Axe FX directly in to a yamaha DXR10.
I have not really used Cab blocks before so I also experimented with them.... The majority just made the sound worse (either thin and weady or scooped).
The amps (presets) are mainly distorted already, unfortunately I am not a metal player and I am finding the majority of sounds/amps seemed to be geared for metal.
I can get the sound I want with the 4cm setup with my amp and using the axe 808 drive block with no Amp or cab blocks, but I am buying the GT800 hence why I am wanting to experiment with Amp blocks
It was suggested I try the odFord amp (as I'm after that kind of sound) but the overdrive sounds awful and too much and I was unable to clean it up. And the clean Ford I could not get it to overdrive as it does not have an overdrive setting? I tried turning the amp input up and the master level down but with no joy. This is how it's usually done on real amps is it not?
And yes I do realise it's probably me and not the Axe, but I am very dissoloutioned by this, to the point of considering not buying the gt800.
Hope someone can help.
