I’ve got no suggestions for you but keep in mind when trying to get these great tones from recordings - most of that tone comes from the board, post. Outboard compression, often in series. Outboard EQ, Reverb and delay. Most guitar tracks were virtually record dry in those days. Amp alone. No one wanted effects to mess with the mixing engineers decisions and control over the soundscape. It just give us a bigger challenge.
For direct, use a Cab block without an Amp block.I agree that a lot of clean tracks were direct into the console. Nevertheless, I think the Axe-FX should be able to replicate that. It might take a power wizard though.
Drop the amp and cab block. Use a drive block with the Tape model.I agree that a lot of clean tracks were direct into the console. Nevertheless, I think the Axe-FX should be able to replicate that. It might take a power wizard though.
Sounds amazing!Check my factory preset "Direct Inject" for starters.
Here's a tweaked version just for you. And everyone else.

You can convert your presets with Fractool. I just imported a bunch and am working my way through them to see how it went. So far I noticed the bypass on the amp block reset to thru, but otherwise the preset sounded good. So that should save you a lot of time.Sounds amazing!
Have a wedding tomorrow. However -- still not taking out the Axe 3 until I get the new foot controller. Will do the gig with the 2xl+. Won't have time to recreate preset for 2. Next time.
That’s really good, @Admin M@ . The brief burst of uncompressed reverb really ties it all together.Check my factory preset "Direct Inject" for starters.

Dunno. You'd have to find someone who writes about it, and a reason to believe them.I have preset that's really good. I'm still wanting to know how it was done originally.
Though I'm pretty sure it involves a Strat or Strat-like object with the pickup selector in position 4.Dunno. You'd have to find someone who writes about it, and a reason to believe them.
