I think an accurate model of the Mesa on-board graphic eq is the one thing missing in Mark style amps in the Axe FX - USA (clean, RHY 1&2, Lead 1&2, IIC+ 1&2) and FAS Lead 1&2 (which are based on Mesa Mark amps). Most any Mark amp owner will tell you that the on-board eq is essential in getting the classic Mesa Mark tone.
Even if you can get close with one of the Axe FX's current eq blocks (I currently use the Parametric eq), an essential part of how the on-board graphic eq works and sounds is that it falls in between the preamp & power amp sections of the real world amps, which currently isn't possible to do with the current amp models on the Axe FX (you either have to put an eq before or after the amp block).
The eq would either need to be "built in" between the preamp & power amp sections the Axe FX's Mark style amps, or as a stand alone block that can be placed between the preamp & power amp sections of the amp blocks.
What do you think?
