I’d love to hear some Iommi (LOVE his tone but can’t seem to recreate an exact Iommi sound)
Same thing with Angus and Malcolm... I get close, but then it’s just not right.
Same thing with Billy Duffy (Firewoman in particular)...
Thanks for the effort!!!
Ty Tabor, early King's X tones.
Nuno Bettencourt, Extreme tones.
Really interested in the Alex Lifeson tones.
Maybe Guthrie tones off his work on Steven Wilson albums.
Would love for you to share presets. I'd be willing to buy them. PM me if that might be an option.
Yup. Its awesome! I added a little proximity into the cab block to wake up my speakers a bit to my ears and have been jamming on Hand of Doom and War Pigs for a while and loving it. Playing it through 2 Friedman AS12s. The louder I pushed my Friedman speakers- the better it got...Hey man! I gotchu with the Billy Duffy patch... Watched his rig rundowns and read some interviews. I think I’ve got it down pretty close. I’ll get this uploaded here in a bit!!!
P.S. - Did you check out the Iommi patch I uploaded? I can upload my Angus lead, which I think came out good. Tried to do a Malcolm + Angus patch with parallel rigs but I’m not entirely satisfied. My conclusion, playing primarily a Gibson humbucker guitar, I can get Angus’ tone easier but without Malcolm’s Gretsch it’s hard to ultimately nail the Malcolm + Angus idea I had.

Oh man, Billy Duffy on FireWoman would be so so awesomeand anything from the Young brothers would be really appreciated too. They are really hard to nail and my band covers 3 AC/DC tunes across 3 different albums so there’s that complication too. There’s a complexity to their tone like the subtlety to their “edge of breakup/ crunch / pushed JTM45(?) sorta thing” that may come a lot from their pick attack. It sounds simple to the ear but is ridiculous to copy - and then it all changes in the mix Thanks again for these amazing shares!!
Wow!! HUGE THANKS!! These sound really good. I’ve only got an FM3 (no dual amps) so I can’t get the Marshall side of the Billy Duffy - I can only see the JC120 and the AC30 (one at a time)... I’ll play around with the rhythm and lead presets and probably swap the AC30 out for the Marshall for some more Marshall snarl there... The FM3 won’t show me your Marshall - Can you show me your Marshall Amp screen so I can copy the parameters over by hand and make a new amp block for it in the FM3 for the rhythm/lead part? The AX3 guys are going to love this as Billy Duffy’s tones have been sought after for a while... Oh, and Sanctuary sounds SO good. The chorus is perfect and really pops on all the right notes. Killer job! I’ll have to hit the Angus later tonight when I can play loud These are awesome! Thanks again for sharingThis is what I've got right now. 6 scenes... 1. JC120 Chorus Clean 2. JC120 + Marshall (Chorus Clean + Dirty) 3. AC30 + Marshall (with Chorus) MAIN RHYTHM 4. Marshall Lead 5. She Sells Sanctuary Intro 6. Fire Woman Intro If you have a footswitch you can switch between scenes for the songs...
Sorry for the late reply... Not familiar with Ty Tabor’s work. My apologies... if you could help point me in the right direction, any recommendation for a “must listen” album?
Dean on the recording of Core:Both, my band is covering about a dozen STP songs from their early albums. It is amazing how Dean gets reasonably close to the studio tones with his live rig.
Good list you've already done, and I'd second DeGarmo, Mars, Gibbons, Lifeson. My only addition (unless you want to add more bass players) would be Nuno. He's a firebreathing monster with a tone that just wrecks me every time I hear it.I've been cooking up patches for some of my favorite players... While there are so many awesome tones out there, I'm curious if there were any sounds that you were really hoping to find in the Axe FX III?
Over the last month I've researched and tried to replicate with authenticity the tones of the following players... Steve Harris, Tony Iommi, Randy Rhoads, Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, Zakk Wylde, Metallica MOP era, Eric Johnson (along with the hold delay feature), Robin Trower, Michael Schenker, Eddie Van Halen (along with Cathedral dotted 1/8th note delay), Yngwie Malmsteen, Ritchie Blackmore, Malcom and Angus Young, Brian May (with signature 800/1600ms delay trick)
On my list of ones to work on are Tom Morello, Judas Priest SFV era, Chris DeGarmo, Kim Thayil, Wes Borland, Tom DeLonge, John Sykes, Mick Mars, Dave Mustaine, Chris Poland, Billy Gibbons (Eliminator era), Al Di Meola, Alex Lifeson (Power Windows era). There's probably some that I forgot to mention but anyways...
If there were any tones you were eager to play with then perhaps I could share my preset with you! Cheers!!!
Rough Boy for sure. Love that tone.I would absolutely LOVE to have the tone(s) for the song '' I need you tonight '' by ZZ Top. That would be a dream come true!
ZZ Top’s Brown Sugar... Insane tone! That intro riff is just epic!Rough Boy for sure. Love that tone.
