This is the demo of my updated preset to simulate Brian's touring rigs for Fractal Audio Systems' AXE-FX III.

Major Updates include:
- Amp/Drive/Cab blocks: completely reworked, to optimize to the improved amp/drive algorithms after FW25. Major changes include the tweaks in Speaker Impedance Curve, which is based on my measurement of SIC of actual AC30s I have: 90's 6TBX with Blue Alnico speakers (reflected in Channel A of the Amp block) and 1963 JMI with Silver Alnico speakers (reflected in Channel C)
- Phaser block: completely reworked to simulate the FOXX Phaser Brian used in 70s. I've got an access to a very high-quality replica of the early version of FOXX Phaser, which I referenced to while tweaking by measurement and by ear. Adjust "Feedback" to control the amount of the effect.
- PEQ block: to recreate the highpass/lowpass filter inherent in the FOXX Phaser, I had to add an EQ block. It is advised that you turn on PEQ block along with Phaser block for maximum authenticity of the phaser effect.
- Filter block: completely reworked to use the newly added "Touch-Wah" mode to simulate the auto wah effect Brian used in the live version of "I Want to Break Free"
- IR Player block: now includes IRs captured from the real TC Electronic devices, which Brian has used in his system since 90s: G-Major 2 (Default) and G-Force, to simulate the characteristic tonal colouration
- Chorus block: tweaked after the measurement of a real TC Electronic G-Major 2 to reflect the delay time inherent in the chorus algorism of G-Major 2. Even if the delay time is set to zero, it still exhibits several milliseconds of delay in software domain (in addition to the latency by AD&DA conversion)

You can hear me noodling with my presets in several modes:
0:03 FOXX Phaser simulation
1:15 No effect, then Filter block engaged (from 1:25)
1:58 Chorus engaged, fully overdriven (*)
2:43 Chorus engaged, clean tone (*)
(*) A real treble booster is engaged in the signal chain. (Knight Audio Technologies RED-18, connected to Input 2)

I guess this will be the final update of the whole preset and I'd be sharing minor updates by uploading updated blocks from now on. Please check out on my thread in FAS forum, as mentioned in the above URL.
