I finally loaded the Cygnus beta this afternoon....wow! A quick clip with a backing track got me the linked track. Drum, bass, vocal, and keys are all from a backing track, while all guitar tracks are a R0 Les Paul with Axe FX III Mk2, Cygnus Beta 11 FW. I've been a hard-core tube guy for about 30 years, but this sounds pretty darned good!

What amp model did you use? Sounds really nice and thick like the original.

I used several, total of eight tracks.

Clean was doubled-tracked. One was a CA3+ Clean, the other was USA Clean.

The crunchy stuff was USA Lead Mid Gain Bright, adding more input gain for the single-note and lead parts. I also used a pitch block for some of the harmonized lines, while some were multi-tracked; one section is both pitch block and multi-track (yeah, it's thick).

Two tracks for the basic crunch rhythm. Three for the harmony descending lines, and one for the lead.

All were based on Presets that originated with Leon Todd and Rocco Pezzin. I tweaked, mixed and matched to get what I was after.

Here's the main one:
