Sounds like you are having issues with your amp. What are you using? I
use twin SRM450's running in stereo with a classic stereo SE. I play
this rig is jazz, blues, and classic rock groups with no problem being
present in the mix....

Also, try the registrations that I posted here and I doubt you will be
disappointed...

Dear list,

It's 3:30 am and I am baffled!!! I just suffered through four sets with
the
CX3. I've had a great time with the CX3 on transparent gigs (such as
jazz),
but I cannot get a CX3 to come even close to cutting it on louder,
non-jazz
gigs even though I have the Speakeasy, and even though I've tweaked the
patches
using all the wisdom on this site. Still, I know good people here are
happy
with the CX3. So why can't I get the CX3 to COME CLOSE to cutting it on
the
louder gigs?

The CX3 sound seems to have insufficient body, no matter what I do with
preamps. When you dial in a truly clear sound, it is shrill. With
warmer sounds,
I have to turn louder in search of clarity, but then things get all
woofy and
badly loud in the midrange so I give up, and then turn down again.

On the other hand, the V5 cuts it on the gig with ease right out of the
box,
even with zero tweaking (even though I can't stand many things about the
V5,
such as its hideously error-prone midi and its wall wart). The V5 has a
clear,
throaty tone, with a good pitch center to each note.

I'm selling the CX3. I feel like a thickhead who can't figure it out.
