[QUOTE="Mike P, post: 159239, member: 2263"] 1. There's a Hi/Lo Gain switch next to the Main L XLR Out (as well as the FX Send). Where is it set? It sounds like it's set to Hi Gain, so try setting it to Lo Gain. If so, it's a Gain Structure issue, which is why it sounds overcompressed and dark. 2. The XLR Main Out was not designed to feed external effects units. Instead, use the FX Send, which bypasses two stages, including the Cab Sim stage. If you're sending the output to your DAW, use the FX Send for best results. 3. If you're feeding a DAW or even a live mixer, a "power amp simulator" is completely unnecessary. While it may make it sound "fuller" when you're sitting around playing, that small low end bump will be dialed out in a mix. And finally, if you are using this setup to feed a DAW, there are far better and more diverse options than the cabinet simulator in the AXE FX. Excellent and inexpensive IR's are available from Celestion, Ownhammer and so many more, which will give you far more options to mix and match speakers, microphones and cabinets, which should in turn provide far better results. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
