So my regular amp is a Mesa Mark IV, and I'd like to capture the sound I had before as a preset. The sound was done with a Maxon OD-808 into the Mark IV then into my Randall 4x12 with V30's.
My current setup plans are to use the Axe-FX II into a Matrix GT1000FX then into the same Randall cab. I'm trying to figure out the best way to tone match the old setup (which I still have).
Am I right in this thinking?
1. Get an IR capture of the cab. It appears using an SM57 should be good enough?
2. Create a preset with a drive block and set that close to the OD-808 settings
3. Add the Mark IV amp block
4. Capture the OD-808 -> Mesa Mark IV -> 4x12 -> SM57 as the source
5. Record guitar straight into Axe-FX II as the secondary
Do I now have something where I can turn off the cab and have it sound close to what I had? Or do I now have the sound of the cab built in, then the physical cab stacks on top of that throwing the whole thing off?
