AFIII Joe Satriani- “Summer Song” complete cover

So I finally finished recording the song, just in time for the first day of summer this Friday. You can see the previous post I made for the solo as there are screen shots of the preset, I used Ownhammer cabs so you'll need to play around with some factory cabs. I had 2 different delays, one for the melody and solo(dual delay, 500 and 350ms with 25% mix, and a Digital Mono for the harmonics, 563ms time, 45% mix). Wah was the cry babe with default settings. I changed the amp gain from 2.45 on the melody to around 5ish for the solo, with a Tubescreamer (drive 5.8, level 5) on the whole time. Gear was my Suhr Modern and Axe-Fx III direct to Logic Pro X with no post processing.
Preset is attached in one of my responses below.

Very nice man! Great handling of the main melody and wah pedal, it's harder than it looks to make that one sing. A few timing glitches here and there and changing the solo up a bit which was interesting. I remember learning the damn thing note for note back in my teens haha, dont think satch ever played the solo without improvising a bit! Great job.

Holly crap man that was Awesome you nailed that!
Satriani is bad to the bone I’ve seen him by himself Tallahassee many times & with Chicken Foot at the house of blues in Atlanta stupid cool....
Man would love that setup how you have it and maybe a lesson on how to Rock :eek::D:cool:
Great Job!!!
 
Killer.....can you also show a screen shot of your reverb block, or just share the preset👍🏼

I'm home now before leaving for the next week, so I'll attach the preset to the next comment.

Thank you!!
 
I'm finally home before I leave for a week, here's the preset. Again I used OH IR's, so use whatever you'd like in their place. Scene 1 I used for the Main melody and solo(I just turned the gain up to like 5ish for the solo). Wah is attached to Pedal 1. Scene 2 is the delay harmonics in the beginning, middle and end.
