I don't know, maybe it is just me.
I just got my Axe8 and it sounds good, but... I just think that some of the present are just so saturated that they would be unusable in high volume situations. I am a rock player and like the older styles like Scorpions, Kansas, Luke and such so maybe it's just not my sound. But when I call up these patches the just want to squeal, have no depth as far as dynamics even when you roll off the volume on the guitar. What am I getting. I hardly ever use the "Red" type channels of any of the amps unless I calm them way down. In my first try with the 8 I did use my '88 Jem77fp which is a high output guitar, so maybe that is it. I Tried the Mark Day 80's and in my opinion it just had too much gain. Does the Les Paul that he uses really have that much lower of an output as my Jem? Do these amps really have and artists use that much gain at 100dbs. On top of that most of these patches have a gain pedal to boot. Looking for answers.
