I meticulously rebuilt the tone as closely as possible to the provided settings in my AxeFX 2XL+, and... it sounded like total ass.
There are a lot of tonal changes often from firmware to firmware on presets, and with the Aries 2.0 (the last firmware available for the 2 series) being probably 15 revisions back... Well, nope. Total ass.
Unfortunately, I failed to save it correctly before I shut down my unit, or I might have tried to tweak it to ACTUALLY sound good (everything but the amp itself was probably fine). I may introduce some of the delay and reverb settings to my tones to see how they go, because I use the 5153 Red as my foundation, as well.
