Some presets are very faint and muddy and other high gain presets have no gain at all. My DAW is Presonus One v.6 but this was with Amplitube 5.5.4 in stand alone only. This was using the same IK Axe ASIO driver / cables and guitar so I was relieved that the hardware seems fine. ASIO4ALL was used calling up the Axe I/O for all output. I was worried that the Axe I/O might have gone south after only 7 days so I used it to hook up to an install of Rocksmith and did a run through of a custom Eruption DLC and again it sounded spot on. It worked much better but only for a 10 minutes and then the presets sounded off on that install as well. I moved it over to a Laptop install thinking my drivers may be messed up. I downloaded the IK version of Du Hast thinking the presets became corrupt somehow and there was no gain when I tried it as well. The physical gear worked fine but when I hooked back up to the Axe I/O many presets had the lag now with some very noticeable to the point of being unusable. Ran the EMGs through the same cable but hooked up to a Peavey VK212 with a Boss Power Stack 2 in the effects loop and with the gain cranked up I pretended I was EVH in Eruption and it was almost too responsive and I switched back to the SC (classic 57s) and the harmonics sounded the way they should. I then tried in on another guitar (first had classic 57s) using EMG 81/85s and switched my input on my Axe I/O SOLO from passive to active and still wasn't hearing it come through. Then I noticed that pinch harmonics weren't coming through the output (L1/L2) or on a set of headphones (both have a virtually flat response) even though I clearly heard it on the strings. It started when I started noticing a slight delay with some EVH presets but others worked fine. I was playing with a few different presets on Tonet and they worked fine for about 3 days and then they degraded very quickly. It happens now with virtually every preset. Is this happening with a particular DAW project? Does the standalone version yield same results? Have you doublechecked the input levels of your device?

Have you ruled out a guitar cable or guitar electronics (failing battery on an active guitar, etc.)
