No guessing here. First one is the Axe-Fx and the Preset-Cab Bundle that I'm sharing for free. The second one is the real Mesa Mark IV and a real Mesa 4x12 Traditional cab with an SM57 in front of it. The IR shoot is a bit dirtier than my Cab Packs but it's close enough. (didn't remove all the color from mic pres, cables etc. as I do with my Cab Packs)
Different guitar player. Different guitar. Different palm muting style is pretty evident. Same exact amp settings on the real amp and the amp sim. The GEQ is a bit different and the speaker page has been fine tuned to somewhat match the real amp. There's a high mid bump on the real amp that's been compensated for with a PEQ which you will see in the preset. You can tweak it even closer to the real amp as this is just what I got after around an hour of tweaking today and I felt I got close enough to where I'm happy.
Try the preset out and let me know what you think. The guitars used here are a PRS Custom 24 and a PRS CE24.
EDIT: There's now an AX8 version of the preset as well thanks to FracTool!
