Pretty awesome.
I just ordered a Rockman on eBay to try out with the new Tone Matching feature... should be spot on!

Upon listening to the last mix I posted I noticed that in the wee hours of the morning (actually well after sunrise) and staying up all night I didn't do the best job I could have on the mix. So after working so hard on the tone I figured it deserved more justice than what I gave it. The lead is too loud in the mix I posted and is lacking reverb that is on the album.
Sooooo, I did a quick remix to better demonstrate how the tone sits in the mix with a little reverb applied and at a more appropriate volume, although it may still be slightly too loud, but better too loud than buried. Here's the final result:

Thanks.
I click on the boston_lead_patch link above and get the mess below. The cab link works.
No, you have to overdub to get that, but with the chorus on it simulates 2 guitars playing in unison.
Hi Search4Tone,
First of all, excellent job!
I know what you mean about the sound being "bright," but I went back and listened to the original, and I think you pretty much have the right EQ on the lead sound! That said, I think the lead/solo is STILL a bit too loud, but I think a proper multiband/mastering-compressor applied to the lead-track itself AND the entire mix (subtle mastering-type stuff like 1.5:1 and more aggressively in the 2KHz-to-6KHz region on your lead-track.) The reason why I mention this is because it's pretty obvious that the backing-track had been compressed (before you got it I mean - NOT by you) so if you compress your track alone (perhaps slightly pulling back that upper-mid/treble spike just a wee-bit) and then compress your overall-mix, you might get the desired lead/solo guitar-level you seek without actually turning the track's level down. In other words, an MBC could "glue" the mix together!
Just my two-pennies...Oh yeah, that and the finger-vibrato could be more aggressive on the bent-notes in particular (IMO...especially the last note of the solo, where he bent that high "A" up to a "B" and applied vibrato ;-)

Tried this one but got instant solid red clipping on Output 1
Update.. maybe because I didn't download the IR?
Pretty awesome.

Well, this is it. I'm done.
The patch is bright. It doesn't sound that bright in the mix but it's bright by itself. Tom Scholz used mellow rhythm guitars and bright "buzzy" lead guitars. The AXE-FX II does 100% of the sound now. The cab is bright and does more to contour and shape the mids than to tame the highs.
I put a chorus block near the end that wasn't on the recording but sounds good playing solo. You might also want to reduce the treble for solo playing.
Here are the files:

Enjoy. I've taken this as far as I can. Too many other sounds to work on now. This box ROCKS!!!
Thanks!
Is it still possible to get these presets ? Your web site is not available anymore.Well, this is it. I'm done.
