LPD Tone Clone - Buckcherry Lit Up AxeFx II

Hey all! This is another of my favorite Plexi type tones. Great and punchy with all the attitude a good three chord song should have. I am on the left, the original is on the right. I used my....wait for it...... Gibson Les Paul with the JB in the bridge for this one.

LPD - Adventures in Tone Matching Stuff Part 5 SD-1 Firewater Mod Axefx II

This is a drive block tone match. This is a tone match of a mod that I do to the Boss SD-1 called the Firewater Mod. I have always felt that the SD-1 was a great pedal with a few shortcomings. So I developed this to bring it more in line with the tone I like to get out of a dirt pedal. If I...

LPD - Adventures In Tone Matching Stuff Part 4 Le Tekro BF-2 AxeFx II

The Boss BF-2 is a great flanger and I would have been happy to try and tone match it as a flanger, but I didn't (at least not intentionally. It may actually sound really close as a working flanger to the BF-2). I was interested in doing a match on the Ronnie LeTekro settings. Rather than just...

What is the equivalent Amp block Dynamics setting V6.02 to V7?

In the amp block, the Dynamics setting in V6 went from zero. In V7 the Dynamics setting goes from -100% to 100%. Would the old V6 setting of zero be -100% or Zero in V7? Thanks in advance!

Plus some delay too. Man the new reverb sounds lush. It really holds this track together and is crazy fun to mess around with. I guess the first part of this would be technically a Tone Clone. Can anyone guess the tune? Thanks for listening. Let me know what you think!

The sustain. It is noticeably better across the board in V7. I think I noticed it first with the clean amps. It's not unnaturally long but very much more in line with the actual real world amps. Can anyone say "thonk and chirp"? Man the way the new models feel is truly amazing! I can wait...
