Excellent job Cooper. What I find interesting is having loved this track for decades hearing the isolated tone is much different than anticipated. By itself honestly I would have thought his tone was perhaps a little thin but in the song it’s sounds terrific. I suppose that’s one of the tricky things about dialing in tone. Like the way you took out some of the low end to be able to fit in the track. When we dial in our tones at home and then get with the band sometimes it can be too muchlow end. Learned a lot from this thank you.

Superb preset, Cooper! I built it along with you on my FM9, and it sounds amazing. You have a great ear.

Thank you Cooper! I have spent an enjoyable hour or so watching your old "Solo A Week" series which shows two things (plus more), the first is your skill as a guitarist with a great ear to build the tones, and secondly how great the old legacy Axe FX2 is (or was in its day)! Please, please, please re-introduce the series so that we can all try to emulate your skills (or at least the sounds!) ourselves on our FM3's, FM9's and AXE FX 3's. And if this tips the balance to spur you along, my wife commented that you have turned from a nice looking young man to a handsome young chap. And she tells me that I am ugly... lol.
