Hey Guys!
I was testing out the Axe-FX 2's 6.01 firmware a week or two back and yes... it's amazing! I was on a guitar in drop C, kept coming back to this riff and was inspired to experiment with the tone match block and record a cover. The whole tone match process was fairly painless to be honest and I am quiet pleased with the results.
The mix of the song is no where near complete! I am trying to get as close the original as possible which creates a bit of conflict at least to my ears, as I was never huge on the KSE drum sound. It's hard to settle on the mix when you don't particularly love everything about the original .
I used a mix of the Soldano SLO-100 and Dual Recto Blocks into a mesa v30 cab then into a tone match block and managed to find isolated guitar tracks of the song for a reference here:

Drums are superior (2.3 update) with Metal Foundry. Started with the KSE preset but tweeked the living hell out of it! As I said earlier, I was conflicted between going for the KSE drums or something more to my taste, I went with KSE. I mixed them entirely inside the Superior mixer but plan on doing a more in-depth mix using multi-outs and various plug in's hosted in my DAW at a later date. Bass is a mix of DI and Pod Farm.
I phoned in the clean intro and just threw it together quickly with Pod Farm as the keyboardist in my band has my Axe-FX .
I'm not so happy with the mix at all at the moment, I haven't referenced it to the original as of yet and have a quite a few things left to do, so any and all feedback/ constructive criticism is welcome!
Will hopefully get around to posting an updated mix and an A/B comparison of the guitar tones for the people at the fractal forums soon. I get lazy haha!
Hope you enjoy!
