This is a Slayer preset I created for a project as I couldn't find anything on the Fractal Audio forum or Axe-Change. Quite pleased with how it turned out. I recommend throwing a GEQ between the Drive and Amp blocks and tweaking to suit your guitar/pickups.

Drums  programmed in Logic X and run through Superior Drummer 2. Dual guitars panned L+R with minimal post-processing, a HPF at ~80Hz and some mids notched out. Mild saturation, compression and EQ on the mix bus.

Took part in a mix challenge run by Brandon S Hire at http://bshav.com and won first place, woo hoo!  It was a good track to work with and I discovered some new plugins in the process.

Superior Drummer 3: Thrash metal preset (download)

Playing over a favorite Satriani track... no EQ or processing on the solo guitar, only a hint of bus compression for glue. The mild delay is the onboard FX and recording was via the Katana's direct stereo out into an Audient interface.

This little battery-powered amp is perfect for practice. The crunch and brown channels retain clarity past 12 o' clock and volume is cranked. Only drawback, if I must be critical, is the overdose of mids.
