CNC hack
I've been using 3rd party IRs (redwirez free and God's Cab). They are better but I still get that weird bloated sound. I'm going to try running it direct into my interface and see if it is still an issue on the line outputs or if it is just a headphone thing. I'm also going to try to run the line inputs direct to my headphones and see if that changes anything. That said, it still all seems like an input issue. Really weird.Generally, stock cabs in 'budget' modellers aren't very good, so perhaps replacing them with some others (GuitarHacks, Ownhammer, 3 Sigma, etc..) might get you some better results.
I can get fine tones if I put an eq before the amp model in the processor. But I shouldn't have to.
