EDIT (12/2022): These presets don't sound right with later FWs (e.g. 19, 20, 21). I may redo for FW21 at some point.
EDIT: Will keep links to posts with the latest/greatest preset and TM IR's updated here.

Original Post:
Continuing the Rush theme... Reworked and re-matched my Limelight preset for 12.03. Matched to the first 40 seconds or so of Alex's iso guitar to my ESP LTD EC-1000 with JB's.
It has two tone matches, one to DRV (Rat) + AMP (Plexi 50) with no cab and another with same DRV+AMP after a CAB (F2#730). The first TM is saved off as an IR (attached) and the second TM is in the TMA block. Both TMs are routed in parallel and panned L/R.
There are variations on the default scene (1) by tweaking some amp parameters to reduce/increase harmonics or increase/reduce depth and presence etc.:
I'm still tweaking the Solo scene. Set delays according to Alex's settings (in video posted below). Don't know what chorus/flanger he's using. Also tough getting that liquid attack and sustain.
If anyone has variations or improvements, feel free to post them to this thread!
A recording of scene 1 with dual TMs (a little sloppy, too lazy to do multiple takes )

- Latest preset with tweaked "singing" solo scene (use IRs from link below)
- Preset + IRs with double amp tone-match to Plexi & HiWatt

There are variations on the default scene (1) by tweaking some amp parameters to reduce/increase harmonics or increase/reduce depth and presence etc.:
Scene 1: "Default" - original double TM
Scene 2: "Rounder"- increased cathode follower harmonics which actually rounds out the highs
Scene 3: "Fatter" - increased depth and reduced sag for more low end immediate punch
Scene 4: "Rounder + Fatter" - combination of changes in scenes 2 & 3
Scene 5: "Sparklier" - increased dynamic presence and decreased CF harmonics (adds sparkle)
Scene 6: "Solo" - rounder+fatter + increased compression + delay + flanger.
Scene 7: TM w/ no cab panned center
Scene 8: TM w/ cab panned center
Cab 2 block: currently uses User 1 #14. Import the IR below to whatever user slot you want and point the first cab in CAB2 to that. If you don't want to load the IR of the second tone match go to the MIX block Ch A and pan Row 3 to center.
