Hi all,
Has anyone tried replicating a Rivera Knucklehead amp (Lead channel) with the Axe? If so which amp sim did you choose? My friend is trying to replicate his fave high gain sounds from the Rivera on his Axe Standard. At the moment he is using the CAE Lead. I use that one a lot, and I know it is a bit grainy/Marshally, perhaps not the right choice for him. I am thinking another high gain type, perhaps Fryette or Soldano? It's really the tonestack that shows through on his Rivera. He plays with a light touch, lots of legato lead work, and the Rivera 'gives back' the sustain, sort of doing all the work not done by heavy picking so to speak. I'd gratefully appreciate any suggestions.
