So, it certainly can be done on a sliding scale within the software. I suppose that is one of the strengths of the Axe, and of course Amplitube has its own set of strengths. With Amplitube, when I back off of the guitar volume, the sim just sounds like a quieter version of the louder signal - velocity scaling, in other words..... |
I wonder what interface you are using?
I would expect the AmpFX to have a very high (1Meg) input impedance just like most Valve Amps.
If you are plugging your guitar into an interface with a lower input impedance then the way that the volume control on the guitar behaves will not be comparable to an amp.
I see that Waves produce a high impedance interface just for this reason - putting a pedal like a Tubescreamer on bypass before the interface will have a similar effect.
