Ok, here is the first patch I'm planning on doing for myself for each of the D-Style Amps. I have to admit, the more I play with them the more I crave 'em.
Anyway, I went with the Fuchs for this round, I've always really liked model, it does have a lot of gain, but it can be tamed nicely.
I guess I'll explain a little bit about the patch & each block & what my logic/intention is which might help you make any adjustments you want to make, some tone & volume/gain adjustments are done in other places.
From left to right:
WAH: Attached to Expression1/Vox VX845/ I have the Frequency set lower, it starts at 190Hz & goes up to about 2K (which is also lower). This is a personal thing I prefer, you can put whatever you want here, & here is a link to a bunch of different Wahs:

PHASER: This is set to Univibe with a bit more depth & the Bulb Bias turned down from 4 to 3.19 which gives it a bit more of the swell. Default is OFF across all Scenes.
FILTER: This is being used as a Clean Boost & a bit of a Low Cut. The Boost is 5.5dB & the Low Cut is set at 109Hz.
**Drive 1&2---> drive1&2 are set up to run both as single drive pedals and dual parallel drives.**
DRIVE 1: FET BOOST: This adds a bit of gain and boost, and I also have the Tone turned up to brighten the signal going into the Amp. For whatever reason this worked a lot better than the Treble or the Prescence on the Amp after a certain point. So if you're having an issue with getting the high end dialed in just right on your rig, check here, it's a big help.
DRIVE 2: ZEN MASTER: Using this to add just a little bit more flavor to the overall tone. While the FET Boost adds a little bit of drive it's mostly driving the front end of the Amp and thickens everything up, this adds a little bit more into the frey. It's a fairly dark pedal to the Tone is up on this as well.
AMP1: FUCHS OVERDRIVE SUPREME
X- Deep
Y- Regular
I have Scenes 1-4 set up with the INPUT TRIM set to 0.100, (the minimum) and this is tied to the Controller "Scene 1".
Scenes 5-8 the INPUT TRIM is set to 0.470 for more gain. If you want to change either one of these values you just edit the Min/Max values in the Modifier Screen.
Cab: Ok, well I uploaded the patch with factory cabs as close in sound as I could to what I made the patch with. However, I would very very very highly recommend picking the Celestion G12 65 IR's. They are great IR's. You can buy them all for $29 but to be perfectly honest with ya I think the 1x12 open back is the best sounding group, and there really isn't that much of a difference in sound between say the 2x12 closed & 4x12 closed IR's & they sell each group separately for $11.99.

Anyway, I went through I think every single Factory cabinet to get as close a match as I could to the G12-65's
If for some reason they aren't in the patch
Here are the two that are close, they are both Stereo Ultra Res
X: F118 2x12 SV Legend Mix (on both L&R, panned -100/100)
Y: F187 4x12 G65 Mix (Cel)
F016 1x12 Brit G12H30 (RW) *panned -20/20*
Here is the CELESTION IR's I used:
G12-65 112 O Hi-Gn ALL+RoomS_L
G12-65 112 O Hi-Gn ALL+RoomS_R
*Those are panned hard L/R*
PEQ: I added in the Parametric to bring back in some lows, ya have to careful with the low end going into these D style amps it seems, there's a fine line between that nice warm fuzziness and losing all articulation .. but in doing so I think I can get a tad thin. If you're boomy but not fuzzy adjust this or turn this off.
CHORUS: Dimension 2 Just a barely noticeable hint at 9% mix, you wouldn't even know it's there until ya turn it off while your listening for it. Pretty cool ay?
VOLUME/PAN: This is tied to Controller "Scene 2" which is a Volume Modifier for each individual Scene. If you permanently adjust a volume of a scene: Click on the "Controllers" Button, then on the "Scene" Button, and adjust the Controller 2 Row, those are all individual Scene Volumes.
REVERB: pretty straight forward, there's also a Spring Verb on the Y channel.
Compressor: OPTICAL 2: a nice bit of compression set to line, this is the new optical compression added to the unit not too long ago, I like it, I think it gives a nice polished sound while still sounding natural. It's not necessary However.
DELAY: Deluxe Mind Guy I have it on but way back in the mix, set it how you like. There's also the 2290 on the Y side.
So basically the Scenes break down like this:
SCENES 1-4 are the LOW INPUT TRIM
SCENES 5-8 are the HIGH INPUT TRIM
and then
SCENES 1&5 - NO DRIVE
SCENES 2 - FET BOOST
SCENE 3 - FET BOOST + FILTER
SCENE 4 - FET BOOST + FILTER + ZEN
SCENE 6 - FILTER
SCENE 7 - FILTER + FET BOOST
SCENE 8 - FILTER + FET BOOST + ZEN
**Drive 1 also has FET PREAMP ON (Y)
And that's about all I can think of...
