tone match issue...help?

[200man]

Not yet...
I just unplugged the usb cable to remove that factor and ran it from the front panel.
Didn't work any different...

Have you tried using white noise as the local signal? The synth block can generate it.

white noise test:

Okay I may have solved it...requires more testing...but...
Thinking about the noise floor I remembered I always turn off the noise gate.
...not needed for clean guitars and clean sound.
So I turned the noise gate up to -60dB.

So, the issue was never the reference...it was the local.
There should be a note of this somewhere in the tone match manual otherwise tone matching
will not work for the one other guy in the world who plays jazz.

doesn't that mean your guitar is noisy?

No sir....

I'm using a brand new, fresh out of the box 2017 Gibson L5.
It's very clean...and quiet.

weird. the noise gate is to quell noise from the guitar, not the axe-fx. if that solves it, then cool, but the noise is coming from somewhere.

At this point I still haven't had a great tone match but I will focus on the local signal.
I would love to have an option to tone match a specific range of frequencies.
I think others would find this useful.
I would also love it if fractal could take the snippets I provided as a reference and do a tone match with a hollow body.
That would certainly narrow it down.
Again, thanks everyone very much for your help.
