I have been into some Lukather-esque tones during Easter. This amp delivers in spades. The rhythm channel is so dynamic, and the lead channel is so smooth and liquid - really love it.
I have a preset in the preset exchange section for those tones, and I use the Ownhammer Marshall with V30s, since that is what he used during the Kingdom of Desiree and Candyman era, in case that is of any help.what cabs do you use for the Lukather Tones!!
preset name please!!!thank you.I have a preset in the preset exchange section for those tones, and I use the Ownhammer Marshall with V30s, since that is what he used during the Kingdom of Desiree and Candyman era, in case that is of any help.

Lukather has used different speakers throughout the years. But I think he used V30’s the most. Currently he uses Bogner 412 cabs, which is a blend of V30 and greenbacks (IIRC). But I think he only mics up the V30 live.
In his CAE 3+ se era, he used Custom Audio 212 cabs. Usually they come with V30’s.
i have too many ir`s with V30 from marshall,bogner,mesa,eng,friedman,,i will check out those Thiele ir`s,thank you.Next time I revisit my Lukather tones and the CAE 3+, I will try pairing with this Thiele cab https://www.cabir.eu/en/focus-ir-se...-response-cab-ir-library-cu-thiele-ev12l.html - It seems to me they might be a match made in heaven. I believe, I used something with V30s in the past.
Ok so resurrecting this thread, what was the definitive answer to that post EQ section and how to apply those setting that Mustaine used as mentioned in the first page here? Been wanting to tackle this amps tone for a while starting with the Cowntdown tone!Based on the PDF it looks as if the post EQ acts as an active EQ since there are both cuts and boosts. Very nice and very helpful. Thanks!
Any luck getting better tones?I'm still confused about the Presence & Depth controlling the Post EQ options vs the Power Amp page controlling them. Any thoughts on that? I am having the hardest time getting a tight palm mute when riffing with this pre. Blows me away that people are getting Megadeth palm mutes from it. Mine are sounding flubby and soft, not tight and crisp. I must be missing something critical. Help!
I gave up long ago and haven't returned to the CAE.Any luck getting better tones?

Yeah, same here sadly.I'm with this guy. At default settings I can't get any cab to sound worthwhile (both muddy and fizzy at the same time.) Too many other fish in the sea to waste time on one that just doesn't agree with me. IMO.
