Video demo is almost done, my partners are handling it. I have been on business trip all week and not tried 9 yet.

YES! Videos soon.
Video soon. For now best to use with 6.04 if you want it 100% exact to album.
AB, could you expound on this a bit?
Well...to expound...It's really really really close for amp presets. For the presets that use no amp -- like acoustic guitar emulations, or the direct to board guitars (like Black Dog style) -- nothing has changed -- those are identical under either firmware.
Thank you Buddy for taking your time to explain further. Just trying to soak all this in to help me dial in presets better.Well...to expound...It's really really really close for amp presets.

We spent months dialing it in on 6.04 to get it 100% spot-on. But firmware 11 has a slightly different power amp "thing" than 6.04 did (according to Cliff's release notes). If you think it's a little too compressed under firmware 11 (which I initially found), then consider turning off "Speaker Comp" in the amps - you will see I lowered it from 1.0 to around 0.25 in the version 11 ones. It's slight, but noticeable to me, and I dialed it mostly back to get them as close to 6.04 as I could with the tools I had. It's just something in the power amp algorithm adjustment that probably can't be fixed with the available tools at hand, although I think turning off Speaker Comp fixes a LOT of the slight change I sensed. The only other variables to getting the tone right are the guitars you use, their pickups and volume/tone settings (covered in the preset/scene guide) and how you play... Mr. Page has a wonderful go-for-it style that is a thing unto itself for sure!
Trust me though, if you are playing along to the record, it is very hard to tell, the EQ is still right; the firmware 11 change effect is more of a feel and level of compression thing, so no big EQ shift at all. If I were in a touring tribute band, I'd probably just use firmware 6.04 and the original presets and not worry about it. But I've have no qualms at all if someone said I had to use firmware 11 and the updated presets - I've compared them A/B and this is all truly cork sniffing and mixer's golden ears territory.
There, I am all expounded out now...
Cooper Carter @ccroyalsenders kindly said he is going to do a little demo of this TonePack sometime in next month or so, so stay tuned!
Hi Gang: This will be a thread where I can answer questions about my latest "Brit Rock Royalty" TonePack series. TonePack #1 from this new series is out now! Update: added to videos below for examples!
Description: After many months of work partnering for two great Austin-based musicians, am pleased to present a new series of TonePacks to come! These TonePacks are a little different than the Naked Amps and Dream Rigs products; they are designed to emulate and evoke the coolest and most iconic guitar tones of all time, by album and song part, starting with the past and working our way to present day.
The first in this new TonePack series is the Brit Rock Royalty TonePack #1, covering 36 songs and over 150 guitar scenes/sounds from this British foursome that changed the face of rock music forever with their first four albums in 1969-1971. Additional BRR TonePacks covering guitar tones from later albums by this legendary British foursome group are in the works!
Using your Axe-Fx III, our new Brit Rock Royalty (BRR) TonePacks let you instantly reproduce the timeless, iconic electric guitar tones that re-defined rock music forever.
The product contains a digital download preset bank consisting of stereo preset versions with correct panning, and volume-leveled (per album mix) by track "scene" to play along with your favorite I, II, III or IV albums.
Here are some video examples from I & II, using the stereo (correct pan) presets:
And some from III & IV:
The download bank also contains a complete set of mono presets for the same tracks/scenes, leveled at an average -12db, intended for live use. There are bonus early group live rigs, acoustic guitar emulators, and bass presets too, and two provided special User Cabs.
In addition to the READE ME User Guide, we include a detailed track by track preset scene guide that tells you exactly what guitar, pickup, volume and tone knob settings to use to produce the "Tone of the Gods!" Example:
You'll get best results using a Les Paul style and a Telecaster style guitar, with vintage-style output pickups. It helps to have a Fractal FC12 or FC6 controller to navigate presets/scenes quickly when playing along, and an expression pedal to take full advantage of wahs, pans, volume swells, and other effects (like the Theremin emulation!).
Expect all the meticulous attention to exact tonal detail here that you've found in AustinBuddy's other TonePack products! These presets were designed on firmware 6.04 (recommended) but have been updated to version 11.x+ or higher, and the price includes two additional firmware upgrade versions if needed in future.
NEW: Here's a good example of Cooper Carter playing some the presets (from I and II):
Note: the pack will be on introductory sale through the end of 2019 at $99 (normal price is $119).
Not globally I don’t think unfortunately (anyone else?).
@sundancer50 - here is example. Go to Shakin' Me preset. Right Click on the WAH block. It will open up this dialogue box:
