Got an xl last week. Had a mk1 but sold it some time back. As soon as I got it, updated to fw18 beta, didn't like the sound at all. Lots of high end content, lacking bass almost like the cab block wasn't fully engaged (but it was in global settings etc). Went back to 17.04. Sounded better but still not digging it through my clr, sounded better through matrix power amp in 2x12. After reading posts here with people having problems, tried 18 again, Same result. Tried several times, same result. Checked all cables tried different cables same result.
Am still in the trial period so was starting to think either something is wrong or this isn't for me.
Then tried moving to axe to a different plug and reinstalling firmware(was sharing a bank with a couple other devices) my ears are shot at this stage but sounded much better, not as think easier to dial in etc. I had recorded 17, 18 in a track to compare but stupidly forgot to save it!! Otherwise would included in the post.
Anyway, is it possible that a poor quality electricity flow through the plug bank it was in would cause this type of problem, there were no crackles/pops (Guess as I'm typing I've concluded that it is, would appreciate anyone insight opinion!)
Going to try in the morning with fresh ears to make sure they aren't playing tricks on me!
