Does anyone have EQ advice for metal/rock tones? I'm using the FAS amps. Any direction would be well appreciated!

Use your ears?
What problem are you trying to solve? You don't apply EQ "just because"...
I've started to watch his videos, the C++ rundown was informative. I did download that patch. It's nice to see him cater to an audience looking for the heavier sounds that can be achieved with the Axe-Fx.Have you tried @2112 Leon Todd’s patches that he’s been posting? If not, give them a try, they are awesome......especially the C++ patch!
That's due to the nature of amp design of those particular amps. It is fairly specific to those amps.I agree that eq should be in most cases used to correct deficiencies, but my Mesa MKIIC in 1983 came with basic instructions that included a number of choices for the 5-band eq, depending on the style of music you intended to play. For metal it seems they dialed in a fairly strong “V” shape. You can always still try that and see if it fits your ears and situation, and save the Preset with another name, so you can compare (and not mess up an existing preset if it was already decent). Good luck.

This is a great video and I use these tricks all the time when mixing guitars
I'm slowly working through all the high gain amps at the moment and they're not far off.Thanks man, appreciate the help! Keep up the great work on your videos as well. Any plans on posting a tutorial on the FAS, FAS II and FAS III amps?
