Sounds great, MetalGarret! Can you share the preset?
I found this thread very interesting cause I've been trying to find the right amp for my sound and since FW 10 that's been harder to do cause the names of the USA amps had changed a little. But since the admin there mentioned the USA Lead Bright + amp, I decided to give it a go. The result is the clip above. I like it a lot cause its really close to what I'm lookin for. But what would really help (if it's even possible for the Axe Fx II) is a firmware update with the added ability to change mic positions . I think that is what the next firmware update needs. I'm not talking proximity. More like on/off axis or cap/cone/cone edge sort of thing. It'd be killer the the Axe could do that.

Cool, I'll give these settings a go tonight!
You can achieve specific mic positions by using custom IRs.
My only problem with this tone is that it doesnt have that cool bite and roar as Irotlas'. Where can I get that IR?
I think yours is/was much nicer.
Fired up my Mark IV this weekend for the first time in months, and discovered it makes a ticking sound when off standby. What Axe-FX model do I use simulate that?
Are you running the amp near your Axe or a computer? I've noticed that ticking when getting PUs to close to Axe. Just a thought.
Not to thread-jack, but that's not it (computer "buzz" I can usually eliminate with a noise gate). This occurs even when I have the guitar volume off (but with the amp off standby). I suspect (hope) it's a bad tube, but haven't isolated which.
It's hard to find Stiletto/Traditional 4x12 IRs which is the Petrucci cab. I guess CALI is it and ofcourse the Petrucci IR.
