Yeah, this is the video that I based it on. I duplicated his settings on my production Overrated Special. The audio is pretty distorted here, so it was a bit of a guess as to how it all sounded in-room. Additionally, as far as I could gather, there is no Axe-Fx amp model for what Joe is using the most these days. I used the Deluxe Tweed model, which -- as I understand it -- is based on an earlier version of the real amp in question, only the early version has more limited controls and a somewhat different character. The Axe-Fx model notes the "extreme blocking distortion at or near maximum gain," which has the effect of sounding a bit like a noise gate is messing with your leads. So I was trying to tweak the amp settings so that it would break up in a similar way to Joe's (which kinda sounds like it has that element of a dying fuzz sound), while not triggering the "noise gate" effect. Ultimately, I'm not sure I came all that close to Joe's sound, but it got it within the ballpark and it's a cool tone overall anyway, to me at least.
I tried the SuperTweed, but settled with the model I mentioned above. The Axe-Fx doesn't have a Green Rhino model, which is what the Overrated Special is based on / very close to, so I used the Full OD (based on a Fulltone Full-Drive) because it sounded most similar at default settings. I tweaked it for a couple minutes to get it closer, but it's not as close as I would have liked. I think it's probably entirely possible to nail the Overrated Special sound with an existing drive block, but you'd need to be reamping or something so you could really focus on matching it. It's too much of a pain to have to switch the real pedal on, play something, switch it off, turn on the drive block, play it again, tweak, turn it back off, compare, etc... over and over again.
For sure! you did a great job and nice licks BTW! I saw that video a couple of weeks ago and thought "Man! I wan't that pedal!"
