    AFIII Rivera M100 vs Axe Fx Super Reverb

    Unfortunately I was not able to replicate the lead channel in the Axe III, honestly I couldn't get very close beyond just another high gain tone. I really hope they add it someday as it was very unique and sounded great. I sold the amp a few months ago for a JCM800. It was a great amp but I've...

    I had a M100 4x10 combo last year, great sounding amp and very unique on the lead channel. The rhythm channel was crazy close to the Super Reverb channel without even digging into the extended controls. The lead channel with the 2 additional gain stages was very hard to replicate. I tried...

    Slash "Appetite for Destruction"

    I could have named these better but yes cab X is "AFD" and cab Y is "Sweet Child". I believe they were tonematches rather than actual cab IRs. AFD was simply a bridge pickup tonematch and Sweet Child was a neck pickup tonematch.
