In my experience, someone else's patches never translate. The clips you listen too have been compressed/messed with in conversion to a format that plays on the net. Everyones idea of what sounds good is different Every "space" messes with sound differently, every bit of kit sounds different.
I tried in my early days with the AFX back in 2008. Wasnt overly keen on many factory resets, and didnt think any patch I loaded that others had created sounded good at all.
The only way to get things working correctly is to program them yourself, to your tastes, with your equipment. Hell - I go amp/cab mostly and even with juts a raw amp block and nothing else, my patches sound a lot different on a friends AFX. The only different being the cab he used. Just so many variables.
