I didn't adjust any advanced parameters. The only thing I did was max the MV, crank the mid and treble and add some high end with the graphic EQ which are all things that I believe Eddie did. Then I did a tone match. Even without the tone match it's very close though but the formants are naturally different.
For the reverb I used the medium cathedral and increased the pre-delay slightly.
You won't get this without V10 though. The distortion characteristic is different in V10. The tonal balance is very similar but the breakup in V10 is less controlled. It's raw and nasty. The statistical analysis showed that the Axe-Fx was too polite in it's distortion curves and not asymmetric enough. Now it's rude, crunchy and pissed off sounding and unpredictable at times. Sometimes I hit a note and amusing things happen. Then I switch to the real amp and find that the real amp does the same thing. Changes in pick angle can make the note sound completely different. Crank the MV and the amp spits and sizzles and sounds like it's going to blow up.
Some folks are probably going to not like it but I've left the V9 modeling in there for them. V9 (and the earlier firmwares) were more like ideal amplifiers that a PhD student would design. V10 is just lot's of fun, quirky and bombastic. If you like real amps with all the crazy things that happen then I think you'll like V10.
