Smoothing didn't do anything really...but that inspired me to explore other cab parameters. AIR is the answer! I cranked it and it sounds very close the Rhett's recording. I'm using 1x12 Roamer SM7 and 1x12 Class A 15w 121 C at -3db. I'm really pleased with the result. I hope this helps other trying for a Deluxe tone. Thanks to all who committed.
Most amps I can replicate. One that is eluding me is the deluxe tone Rhett Shull has at 11:00 on this video:
I've tried dozens of IRs and nothing has that open mid-range that he has. Has anyone else cracked the code on this?

I am a little obsessed with this right now. I can get this sound if I put an analog gain pedal in front of the Fractal. There is a chewiness that I just can never seem to dial in without some analog assistance. I am really new to modelers.so anytime I see someone else trying to figure this out I pay attention. If I ever figure out how to add that chewiness in the fractal I will be a very, very happy camper. It would be the cherry on top as I am already a very happy camper with my Fractal experience. As for the Tweed Deluxe, I can get really close to this on my Strat with Fat 50's, minus the chewiness.. but only on the bridge position. The Tweed Deluxe model falls part too fast on the middle and neck. They are just too bass heavy for this amp with this much gain. If I make adjustments for those pickups the Bridge position loses its mojo and it is just not worth it because they are not as good as the bridge on its own. Once I get a little closer and test this on my Tele I will post it because it is the IR's I am using that get it close, at least to my old ears. I think it would just take someone with more experience to get it the rest of the way.
Fm9 and FM3, Unfortunately, I do not have that option. I have to learn to use the tools I have to get it. I am learning about how to use the EQ's and filters as I go.What you wrote here just furthers to me that you should try a tonematch. People have had really great results with that, especially if you use the RTA block and a low pass filter for the unneeded frequencies. For the chewiness, I'll bet some sort of mod of the model would get you there. Other forum members would know better than me what those mods would be.
Haha, no worries, I did not say anything about which unit I was using and this is the FX III section.Oh crap, sorry, I totally missed that!

He has an Axe-FX pack for sale on his website. https://www.rhettshull.com/products/rhetts-amps-v1-for-axe-fx-iii-fm9-fm3Why not ask him to make you an IR?
