I am running a vox TONELAB through a tech 21 power engine 60. My problem is that neither of the "line out" settings sounds good through ANY amp I own. I know the realistic tones are in there, I can hear them when I plug in a good set of headphones, but I can't seem to coax them out through an amp.
The "AMP" setting sounds very muffled and distant no matter what I do EQ-wise. The "LINE" setting sounds somewhat thin, sterile, an a bit harsh, and I lose the rich lushness and sparkle that I hear on the clean channels through headphones.
I note that there are more "line out" options on the LE version of the tonelab, and that there is a way to EQ it to any system you run it through. Perhaps VOX has realized this was a weakness and corrected it??
Anyone have any suggestions? Solutions? that you have stumbled upon while playing live with these things??
BTW- I have spent countless hours/days/weeks/months tweaking each program and trying all the standard approaches to solving my problem, so please don't think its from the lack of trying. I have tried it through three other amps with the same results, so the amp is out of the equation.
