I can't tell if it's commitment to a persona ala Spinal Tap or if he's just...a little odd. Either way, I like what this trio does very much.

Based on:



I made something stupid simple like he uses:

Eternal Love takes the place of his DS-1. Seems okay as a swap given his settings.

The wah is controlled by external three and is always on. I find setting your pedal so it's around 7.83'ish works well with my Ed O'Brien Strat (that has a Dunlop rail in the bridge position like Mark's Strat has). It's weird. But you get used to it.

Phaser was approximated to match his Boss PH-3 settings.

Comp is always on. Matches the Dyna Comp he's using.

Reverb...it's springing. He uses the spring setting on his Holy Grail. I dunno. The spring 'verb in the III is maybe a little too good to cop the Holy Grail thing?

Delay is mono tape. External 2 controls master feedback and goes between just about one repeat all the way into self oscillation.

Amp is a DR vibrator channel setup like in the video. I liked the Tweed Deluxe IR better than the Deluxe IR so I used that. Tremolo from a trem block between the amp and cab because I already had a switch for a trem block setup on my controller and didn't want to have to map another switch to the amp block tremolo depth. I'm lazy like that.

Scene 2 is uses some reverb sounds and a drive block with some gain that he doesn't use that I thought sounded cool and spacey.

Enjoy? It's definitely a...sound.

i own an Axe Fx 2 and it'd be cool if you could put up all the settings in here. I can't load your preset.
I've been fiddling too much with the settings, and I'm dying to get Mark Speer's tone.
 
I put this patch together for AxeFX II. I used Feactool to look at the settings for the original patch and approximated where necessary. I put the trem block on a separate row so I could mix it in to taste rather than have the mix at 100%. I don't know that I am totally satisfied with it as a perfect replica of Mark's tone, but it sounds nice and is fun to play. Thanks iaresee for the patch - I had tried to match the video on my own and didn't get as close as I did using yours as a base. I'd love some feedback and/or suggestions on improving it.

I thought I was the only one who knew about this band...I listen to the latest album all the time when I'm working around the house. It's fun music. So good.
