Def Leppard Tone

[kmachman]

This is great! My new Def Leppard patch. with all the changes in the firmware lately my other one started sounding off. This one is great. I used Leon Todds LT TV Mix7 on the left cab and the factory 2 1022 cab on the right (Greenback).

Thanks! Sounds great to my ears.

I am working on a Def Leppard tone, and I think I'm getting pretty close. I just wanted to post it and see what everyone's thoughts were - any advice on how to make it even better?

Note: I am using York Audio M25 IRs. If you don't have them, just choose your favorite greenback cabs for mid-gain marshall tones.

This should help you.

Here’s a part of the promo to the Def Leppard tribute band I was in. I’m the guy with the Les Paul. This was done about 6 years ago. I was using the Ultra at the time. Studio recorded direct.. next to zero post processing.

Thanks! Watched the 2022 live link I just mentioned, and sound was much better.

I've been reading through the posts here and on the other threads as well. I've only had the Axe FX III for a few weeks now and I'm totally loving it. Here is my attempt at dialing in the tone for "Gods of War"....and anything else on the album.

Nice! Preset or tips? Thanks!

Thanks!! I'd be happy to post the preset once I'm done tweaking it. It has a clean, crunch and this lead channel that you heard. Trying to get the "Hysteria" thing down. I'm using the JMPre-1 OD2 here. The cabs are a mix of Leon Todd's "TV Mix 7" and one of the stock Fractal cabs panned left and right. I think I'm using the Colosseum reverb at around 45% mix. (I'm trying go off of my memory here). lol.

VERY NICE! I can't wait for the preset quick question: what chorus did you use and where did you put it on the chain?

Thanks!!! I know the first part of your question...the chorus block is right after my cab block, and before my delay and reverb. Which model it is...I will have to report back to you. It might be the stereo chorus or the triangle....but I'll confirm asap.

I'll put it up tonight, as long as everyone is cool with it's "WIP" state. I'll have to specify the cabs I used too, right? I'm brand new here....

Just remember the MT-2 is designed to be in the effects loop , not front of the amp

No it wasn't but it does sound better there. Actually if you can't get a decent old school metal tone out of one it's down to you.

Sounds awesome much appreciated - wip is totally fine - cabs used would be good - but most have favorite irs they use welcome aboard

Need I say any more? I think not.

You are correct. He’s a great frontman. The band is no longer together, but I still talk to him sometimes.. when I do I’ll tell you said wassup!

Here is the preset link. I fattened it up a little bit tonight...after A/B'ing again with the recorded tone. Please share feedback. This is my first attempt at creating anything. I use 8" studio monitors only so that is my reference.

Who can recommend a stand-out live video of Def Leppard to hear the Fractals?

Def Leggend, out of Dallas, Texas. Both Mark Hamill and John Inman use Fractal Audio Systems AX-8 units. No backing tracks.

Here's a fan video shot on a mobile phone.
