Mesa Roadster Tweed Tone

JoKeR III

Fractal Fanatic
I added this model to the Wish List but thought I'd ask more in depth here. The Roadster Tweed mode is one of the best tones of the amps I've owned and one that I've attempted to dial in from time to time but haven't been able to achieve. If anyone has been able to reproduce it and could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

I've come somewhat close with the Nuclear Tone and a couple of the Plexis. Yes, I know it's a 'Tweed', but the Mesa mode is smoother, maybe more compressed(?) than the FAS tweed models I've tried.

Amp parameters I've messed around with:

-Amp Input and Output EQ, different values for the Bright Cap
-HF Frequency, Resonance and Slope in the SIC
-Negative Feedback, Grid Bias, Speaker Impedance and Cathode Resistance
-Input Dynamics and Feedback type in the Output compressor (These parameters usually give me the smoothness I like with edge-of-breakup tones)
 
Tweed mode was my clean tone, punchy & full, with a great sparkle. The best clean tones I’ve ever played.

I’d love to have the Roadster in the AxeFX3, even just CH 1’s 3 modes.
