Trying to recreate a Framus Cobra in the AX8, opinions wanted.

[Deadpan]

I had a Framus Cobra years ago and it was a beast of an amp so I am trying to recreate that sound and feel in the Ax8.

So far I have tried two versions, both with the USA Pre LD2 Ylw, one with an 808 boost and one using the internal amp boost.

First is the internal amp boost. I thought the internal boost preset played easier while I thought the 808 boost sounded more like I remember...

For anyone wanting to give it a shoot here are the first two.

Would be curious what others can with them.

These include the IR.

I prefer the 2nd clip, but I have no experience with the cobra, so I couldn't tell you how close it is.

I preferred the sound of the second as well. Hopefully we can get them even better.

The Cobra is closest to a Recto.

The Cobra is closest to a Recto.

Thanks, will give that one a shot too.

I'm curious about this. I had a couple Cobras and never felt the comparison, though I've never opened one up.
I always felt the mids were super thick on the Cobra and had a much more controlled low end. How would you dial in the recto for a Cobra sound? Other than boosting mids and cutting lows, are there other parameters you'd recommend to mess with?
