Great playing and tone.
What amp?
The real ZZ Top clip has something additional going on still.
Not sure what it is-delay or reverb?

Yes, My clip isn't a copy of the sound, its just showing how "air" adds some cool stuff.
That is reverb probably from a natural mic bleed ALL over drums and stuff. Its sort of a reverb echo and is quite a difficult sound to replicate in the axe. Led Zeppelin recordings are heavy on that reverb effect.

The real one illustrates the need for some presence in the upper end on yours, IMHO. Your tone has a blanket on it.

The presence and treble are max on the amp and the bass i completely off. The only way to add more presence would be a sharper, more harsh IR capture which Isn't found in the cab pack 8.
The clip "and the real ZZ top" is from the terrible 1987 "six pack" Remix of the 6 first ZZ albums, and do not sound as the original recordings. All six albums were remixed and killed with digital reverb.... The original "Track Just got paid" have bone dry guitar and drums, and sounds to me a lot better than the remix. The original mix from the LP recordings are now on the CD as well.... Tyler your tone is good, just that you just tried to replicate the "wrong" mix....
Love Billy Gibbons, Tres Hombres is a killer album. The guitar tones and playing on the whole album is sublime. Never translated live, a lot of guitar parts to each song beautifully executed. Plus they seemed to dumb it down live and concentrate on looking cool. Rio grande mud is excellent as well.
Good work Tyler!!
