Seems like all the high gain profiles have a mild to severe 'cocked wah' or vowel like sound that just dominates over everything.
I think I came across a thread where someone stated that the problem lies in the 'cab sim' portion of the profiling process. Someone else commented on it being a part of the Refining process.
It can be compensated or toned down a bit with the 'Definition' control, but then you loose pick attack.
And I find the 'Pick' control pretty much useless for high gain stuff. The negative side makes it compressed, and the positive side makes it feel 'gated', which feels like latency. So that's no help with this issue.
I've even messed around with the EQ in the output section, tried dumping the mids a little bit. It all adds up to being better, but not GONE. Which is what I would like.
Full rig profiles or just preamp DI's, cab sims on or off, FRFR or real guitar cab... it seems to be prevalent.
I like Micheal Schenker, but this is ridiculous.
I've even tried a pickup with a scooped eq curve, the Dimarzio Steve Special... no dice.
Thoughts or suggestions?
