I agree the millisecond timings on AXE FX do not tie up with expected timings for head spacings on known Shadows tracks.
I don't know the answer but it's a puzzler?

Thanks BLISSMUSIC for your comments and the "like". It always helps to keep on "keeping on".Thanks for the hard work you have done, still a way to go but getting closer. Best wishes.
hey stratnvox I tried the peace pipe preset last week, thought it was brilliant, really nice warm hank marvin tone comin out my strat now, thanks again for the work you are doing here.
you mentioned the redwirez irs, I've got the ownhammer ultras already, do you think it's worth getting the redwirez too?
Finally, I have achieved my self imposed targets and I'm pleased to release my full version of Shadows Presets. Unless some members have further contributions, this is likely to be the last release as improvements following Firmware 13.02 will have diminishing returns for any effort. I'm now wanting to just enjoy these creations and hope that those who care to download and come back with suggestions can make further progress.
These presets require Axe-Fx II with Firmware 13.02 or later and urge you to upgrade to the latest. Many thanks to Cliff and the team for their continuous improvements. Just wonderful!
The introduction of UltraRes IR's in FW 13 together with other improvement has now "created the AMP in the room" and given a whole new feel to playing the Shadows music. As mentioned in the Readme.pdf file contained in the download, these presets make use of those UltraRes User Cab files that were packed with Version 13.02. These should be loaded using Axe Edit 3 prior to loading any of the presets and to avoid further editing we have assumed these User Cabs have been loading into slots #60, #62 and #63 for 1x12 ALN, 1x12 J12 and 2x12 FN. If you have them loaded into other slots, please edit the preset CAB block to select the correct User Cab. You can then use a Block Library save to easily recall the settings for other presets.
These presets are an update of any AxeChange preset found under my name. (I wish I could just update and/or remove and replace them.)
The Readme.pdf file contains details of the presets, their coding system and some background information regarding the development of this release.
Shadows Presets 3 (this is a zip file containing the readme.pdf, listing of some 250 tunes and suggested preset for each and the 48 presets).
These presets are specifically designed for an FRFR configuration although there is an "effects" output prior to the amp block to OUTPUT2 which could be used when you have your own amp.
Please enjoy and look forward to feedback and recordings.
Thanks for your comments. Very glad you like it and I hope you can audition a new version shortly.
I have purchased UR IR's from Ownhammer and from Andy at TAF. So far, I like Andy's Mix on 1966 Vox Blues Cabinet the best and although I have tried coming up with my own recipe around the famous U47 mic's, its not as good as Andy's.
Originally I liked the Rewirez IR's but we have yet to see if they come out with some UR versions. I can produce UR IR's but suspect the sample was shorter than 170ms needed to achieve the full spectrum.
If you like the OH "FN" 2x12, it's pretty good but it's a little "darker" than the Blues.
Just waiting for a friend to give me the nod to obtain an audio spectrum on some Meazzi Tape Echo machines. I'm hoping it will confirm my estimates of the frequency response from these machines. The added extra I have with the next update of these presets, is amp compression without distortion. So close to the way the meazzi's AX7 tubes behave! Play like Hank, get Hanks sound. The only problem is understanding the recording and mastering changes that produced "That Sound".
About half way through the next versions.
