Legacy Rockin' Rhythm 800 - Patch on Axe Change!!!

Following Scott Petersons awesome method of building a patch from his presentation at Axe FX West (look in the AxeFXII Discussion subforum, fantastic presentation), I bring you my most realistic sounding patch yet (in my opinion :D )!!!

I used a slight reverb to give the cab a room, instead of using the room level, and then chose an amp and fooled with some cabs with everything at noon. I chose one of Ownhammer Beta cabs, the "OH BETA 412 Bogner V31 SM57 W-8" and then tweaked from there. Then I wanted to also just give it another color so I added in the stock 4x12 1950A G12 that's in the axe, and blended it :) this isn't a high gain patch but obviously you can turn it up if you feel like it, I just wanted a classic rock/rock rhythm tone. I really love the definition in the highs and then the lower end thickness as well, tell me what you think! Also there were some awesome Rush covers posted in the forum earlier so it inspired me to show off this patch over some Rush. I choose the Spirit of The Radio verse because it seemed like it fit well! this is NOT a match, but just an example of it over some awesome music.



here's a lead example of the patch, with a TS808 in front of the amp:

Just awesome! How 'bout a video?

Haha i totally wasn't expecting to improvise well on that lead one but i was jammin in Protools and decided to hit record :) When I'm good enough to do a Guthrie song and do it justice, I'll def do a vid...So it'll be awhile :P lol
 
Great tone. Love the rush tune.
It has a warmth over it that i have never heard from a modeler before!

I make sure to put my axe fx in a microwave every time i use it to get some warmth out of it.

haha jk jk thank you for the compliment and also its just because the axe is so badass

It sure seems badass! :-)
Cant wait to get mine. Waiting for my Pay Pal account to get loaded with some cash from my bank, and soon it will be on its way to sweden!

By the way, i took a listen and subscribed to your YT channel. All your tones sound great.
I really like your tones with more middle to it.
It sounds like you have cut out some lows and highs that seem to make many modelers sound "bad" to me.
For me, real and great guitar tone has a lot of middle and punches its way through the mix.

Could you please make a brief explanation of how you dial in your presets?
