Same track as the Mark IV version, but using the new IIC+ amp in the AxeFX.

This is the intro to Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 1, double-tracked JPMM direct into the AxeFX (7.0) over a backing track. I used my normal Mark IV rhythm patch for this.

This is a short excerpt of the Judas Kiss track I did, with only the Mark IV tracks.
Judas Kiss - Axe-Fx (rhythm) Judas Kiss - Axe-Fx (rhythm)

Test with Audix i5. Sounds much fuller than the 57. Same mic position, amp settings, guitar, and room.

A mic test of the SM-57 with the Mark IV. Sounds extremely thin and nasally!
