Here is version 3, from the comparison video. Firmware 22.01. No more stereo 'room' in the Cab block. I like it with it, but the reference clip has none. A bit more low and high end. A different match. Less Reverb. A little less gain. I would normally export this as an IR, then Tone Match again to find those little details.
I can't stress enough how very important how you play during the matching process is. You can't add or leave out anything when doing 'Off-Line' matching. For example.. this piece in the YouTube clip has virtually no string sliding squeaks. Bob Rock is relentless with this kind of stuff. I bet the band wanted to kill him sometimes.
Sounds/feels the same on my EMG 81 equipped 1980s Kramer Pacer Imperial. Record and compare for yourself. A few small tweaks in the Amp block gain and tone controls and/or the Amp block Output EQ should be able to account for the differences in humbucker pickups.
