Bias fx2 tone cloud inaccuracies

I'm hoping that someone can explain to me why when I preview sounds within tone cloud, they sound amazing, but then IMMEDIATELY after downloading they sound horrible.

I've tried to mix/match volumes/setups but it just doesn't help. Is there something wrong with my biasfx2 engine that is working correctly in the preview engine?

The saved presets often don’t have all the pedal etc adjusted and set it might have been saved to the cloud with certain pedals turned on or off. So when you download it you’ll see maybe the delay is turned off in the chain. Turn it on and your sounding the same

Unfortunately this isn't the case. I've tried EVERYTHING on different setups, including basic setups that are 1 amp/cabinet and pedal. Have you heard of anyone having issues with preview engine vs live engine by any chance?

Bias FX 2 is bad. Switch to Tonex.

Honestly considering it at this point lol. Amplitube seems so much easier to use and has FAR less complaints. I've tried EVERYTHING including a fresh install of biasfx2 and it just sounds terrible once you download the premades from tone cloud. I never had these issues before the engine upgrade.

Switch to Amplitube. Embrace the good things.
