Allan Holdsworth Lead Distortion Patch for Q8.02 Plus Demo!

superb tone and playing!!....I think I would have to cut the web between some of my fingers to make some of those reaches. :)
 
Hey guys, here's my attempt at matching Allan's lead distortion patch. In this demo I'm attempting to play "The Drums Were Yellow" solo. I'm using the Kiesel Vader6X with a KH12B pickup ( the Holdsworth pickup ) and it's about 4mm away from the strings. My tone knob is set to 5. The FW is 8.02. I have to thank Simeon for helping with the idea of running the delays in parallel. Simeon is an axe fx guru. I got the delay settings from the Holdsworth preset on the Yamaha Magic Stomp. The amp is Allan's favorite ( from the 2014 interview on youtube ) the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Orange. There's a drive block in front of the amp. It's the T808 OD. I used audio from a video on youtube of Allan demoing the rocket pedal to capture the the Tone Match block. The amp settings was from an old guitar mag from the 90's that showed Allan's settings. Finally I used the multiband EQ in the amp block to get me the rest of the way there.



I love that tone.....thanks alot for sharing

Great work
 
I use the FX8, and i need the A. Holdsworth Patch !! anyone? please.........
This preset includes an Amp block, so won't really translate to FX-8.

However, you could use FracTool to open the Axe Fx preset and look at the layout AND all of the block settings.

Hi, Amazing sound and playing.

I am trying to try your preset in Axe Fx 3 but the tone match block doesn't convert via Fractool. Is it possible for you to export the tonematch block as a .syx file so I can put it as a cabinet? Thanks!
