This particular individual is attached to going direct with an Axe FX II

options are limited.


Well, if 'their sound' is over-compressed and flat at source, there is
little that can be done to get what the person designated as producer wants.

An expander may be able to help resurrect some dynamics, but probably
not. Better still discussing problem with the guitarist.
