Axe-Master
Out of this whole thread, not one fan has posted what IR they are using...the MOST IMPORTANT part IMO...
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the variety that Cliff puts in this box. I must not be tweaking the right parameters. I am happy with the handful that work for me.
You are assuming you are supposed to like every amp.
completely agree. not every amp is for everybody. I don't even like half of the amps in the Axe, but to complain about it is a bit weird, isn't it...exactly...i'm not a Boogie fan. I've never played one that I like (well, i did sort of dig the Electradyne, but i digress...). I love other people playing them, love them on recordings, but I can't vibe with them. Same for other amps....just not my thing, and it's ok, lol.
I have the feeling that with real amp people tend to agree more on what sounds good or not than on the Axe fx. Even if it's not your taste in general people tend to agree that some Fender's are great for clean or a Marshall is great for overdrive etc. On the Axe there seem to be more completely opposite opinions on what amp sounds good or not.

Hey, yes, i bet they are using the STT03-B57-60a-off edge.ir (Suck Tone Tucana03 mic'ed with a broken 57 at a 60 degree angle), the non UltraRes version.
This is all a bit too nerdy. I plug the Tucana 3 in to a battered old cab with a Celestion T75, don't piss around with it and play it live every week without every casting a thought on anything. I did all that when I designed it. It's very very difficult for anyone to get a bad tone out of the real amp. It's designed that way, the range and limits on the controls, even the biasmon system makes it difficult for even an idiot to FU. The real amp has a more British overtone to it due to the fact I am British and I designed it. I cannot stand Mesa boogie overdrive tones. If it sounds like that then something has gone desperately astray in the modeling. The gain staging, overdrive voicing and output stage are night and day to ANYTHING Mesa, any owner of the real amp would attest to that.
We think alike on Boogie tones. A minority here, but all music is good.
Appreciate the advice on a cab.

The Tucana 3 works well with the OH M-Sb-75 and the 417-H (Altec). The Bogner 2x12 with Fanes too.
I really like the model. Some really interesting and cool tones in there. I think it would be a great live lead tone.
