Display MoreOk misconception on my side.
Sounds plausible. I can confirm that the demos sounded indeed very good. Or else i wouldn't have bought them.
But i couldn't get the result i was hoping for.
Britt is recommending tweaking the parameters of the profile to an individual liking.
I guess its a combination of many factors here.
The Fact that i'm using pretty hot PUs on a very different sounding guitar, i'm direct monitoring them without any post processing.
I might be able to dial in the sound to come closer to what the previews sound like but i usually dont change profiles to much
just minor adjustments to not mess up the original characteristic.So i would say these profiles aren't just the best basis for me to build onto
Have you tried to turn off Pure Cab globally as suggested earlier? This alone or combined with some Input settings can make a big difference. Still I don't believe that your guitar and pu makes that big difference. Just post a recording without any tweaking to show us. Even if I use my cheapest guitar with ultra hot ceramic humbucker (Jackson JS11) I can get close enough to the demo sound, without calling the result "thin, distant, bad, shit" or anything. Weird case?!
