I noticed today on any preset with any sort of gain, some undesirable low-end harmonic content. It doesn't seem like something I can EQ out and I've never noticed this after 5+ years of owning an Axe-Fx II. It only happens in with gain/overdrive and when I play at least 2 notes. So when I play a C and an E like I did in this recording, there is a harmonic that sounds like the 5th (G) which seems reasonable given the little I know about the overtone series and harmonics from school. But it's just overbearing to my ears, if I add the 5th it goes away sort of (as in playing a full triad) but with just the root and third, that "ghost 5th" sounds unreasonably honky and muddy. How do I fix this? I've never noticed it on a real amp either and it's present in RCF monitors and my headphones. Again, clear as a bell without gain. If this is normal, I don't ever want to play a distorted preset again. Please help!
