    I would KILL for a patch like this.

    TS808 MOD with TONE, LEVEL cranked, GAIN on zero, through the FAS MODERN or DAS METAL model and probably the METAL ULTRA or Ownhammer V30 cabinet, no microphone selected. Then, after dialing the amp, maybe a PEQ boost around 1.4-1.6khz, and even possibly around 3.5khz. Always use small Db...

    A/B Test EVH 5153 vs. native model in V. 6.01

    What makes you think he only uses one cabinet for creating the amplifier models, and how would having the IRs of that cabinet benefit us? If he does only use a single cabinet, it's most likely something very common like a Marshall 1960 (insert other popular cabinet here), which we already have...

    5153 Impressions

    For the high-gain sound I use, the EVH 5150 III red channel model is incredible. I mostly used FAS Modern, FAS 6160, and occasionally the red channel rectifier, but with less tweaking and without boosts or EQs, the latest 5150 additions blown them away. It's the best addition the Axe FX II has...

    It's happened to me on multiple firmwares. It seems to only happen if the Axe FX has been on for awhile, but I haven't noticed if it's only with Axe Edit or not. It's been so infrequent that I've not thought about it too much, or noticed any similarities.
