Greetings all, I received my Axe-Fx III back in November and today I just received an Ormsby HypeGTR 8. Not my first 8, I've had a Keisel DC800 since 2012 (back when they were still Carvin), but it hasn't seen vast amounts of use as I decided the low string just never sounds quite right even with a 27" scale, hence the Ormsby with a bass side scale length of 28.2".
So, since I haven't been messing with the old Carvin much in conjunction with the Axe-Fx, I was wondering if anyone knew of any free presets specifically tailored (or that just happen to work extremely well) for 8 string guitar tuned in standard or drop E. Or failing that, does anyone have any helpful suggestions on where to begin patching my own preset together from scratch? Looking for a distorted death metal tone that's bright and clear for the lowest notes, but not too shrill and overly trebly for the highs.
