Hi there,

For the last three to four years I've been using Gearbox with a GuitarPort for home recording, but I'm starting to get a bit more serious now, so today I purchased PodFarm 2, version 2.55.

I've been checking out videos on YouTube which have samples of tone patches - deciding they sound amazing, then downloading the patches, but for some reason, the patches sound nothing like the video when I play them myself.

For example, I downloaded this "Djent" tone (example in this video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvAm7Xq4dtM

But when I load the patch up in PodFarm 2, it doesn't even sound distorted, it just sounds more like a crunch effect than anything.

I previously purchased the expansion bundle for Gearbox, and it seems to have transferred them to PodFarm 2 (as I've read it's supposed to), and I can set up the same amp/noise gate/effects etc displayed in the video, and there isn't an error saying "you don't have the required plug-ins" or anything along these lines when I load the patch.

So basically, I'm at a loss as to why the tone sounds nothing like the video, especially as I've paid £65 for this.. I'm using an Ibanez S320 with an INF1 pickup (neck) and INF2 pickup (bridge), through a GuitarPort. I've checked on Line 6 Monkey, all the software/drivers etc are up to date.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.

(Not sure if this is relevant at all, but I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6)
