Queen - Brian May Preset

Hi all, here is a preset I made for Bohemian Rhapsody, you could probably use it for a lot of other Queen songs too. In the video I'm using my Les Paul, I'm using the middle position with both pickups out of phase. Enjoy.

One of my favorite guitar tones I've ever heard is Brian May's from Queen's 1986 Wembley Stadium shows. Here is my best attempt at recreating it. I'm so grateful that my Axe-FX can get me so close to sounds like this. I certainly could never afford 3 vintage Vox AC30s plus effects just to get...
