Since moving to FW 13.07, most presets where I use my LP sound really bad. My goto stock 'heavy' presets were the Herbie3 and JVM OD1/2. They instantly sounded great, and I could tweak them a bit for whatever I wanted.
Now they sound really harsh and never fit into any mix. The decay is awful too, there's a sort of weird pulsating/wave thing that sounds almost like a bad combination of a tremelo effect with the noise gate kicking in. So far I've:
1) Reset the input levels for the axe
2) Re-installed the firmware
3) Re-imported the v12 presets
4) Switched of the noise gates and reverb
The various clean and ambient presets sound fine, much better in fact than previously.
