Created on an 'AX8' unit and an 'Ernie Ball Music Man' 'Axis' guitar with stock 'Humbucker' pickups through a 20-ft long cable.
This preset is very dependent on 'External Controllers' to achieve the various tones. The (nec) version of this preset now has 'Control Switch 1' attached as a makeshift 'Whammy' controller. And 'Control Switch 2' as a makeshift 'Wah' controller. I added some 'dampening' to both to smooth them out. There is also a separate switch to turn on the 'Wah' block.
I abandoned using accurate models of his setup, which was not working. And went with what gave me the desired sonic results. The 'Vai' Purist' will not be amused....lol, but the 'tone' will hopefully speak for itself.
Includes 1 free non-commercial user cab IR that can to be installed into the same user slot as the downloaded preset (if currently unused) or any slot that you wish.
Use the 'Neck' pickup at first, then switch between 'Bridge' and 'Neck' pickups as in the song. Try rolling back the 'Tone' knob (if you guitar has one) for a smoother tone.
Cab (X) uses the 'Love of God (Moke) 'AX8' IR....('User Cab' slot 'U:067')
Includes Two versions of the preset.
One Preset with 3 'External Controllers'........
External #1 - Main volume (Volume/Pan block 1 Volume)
External #2 - Wah (Wah block 1 Control)...'Auto-engage' at 5% (heel down -off)
External #3 - Wammy (Pitch block 1 Control and Mix)...'Auto-Mix' (heel down - off). Filter block #2 is also automatically removing excess highs as the 'Wammy' pedal's pitch is increased.
One Preset with (nec) added to the name with 'No External Controllers' for those without 'Expression' Pedals'.
All Scenes are the same.
