I'm looking for the amp model/cab pack for distorted guitar close to what syn uses using the axe fx iii?

I see suggestions of EVH 5153 100w RED? and not sure if it's the hellwin 4x12 cab pack?

and also what amp model/cab pack for that buried alive clean tone??

Extra: suggestions to get the intro for the stage tone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    For the heavy tone, one of the Hellwin 4x12s is your safe bet. Use your ear. I believe Syn said a LOOOOOONG time ago, when the cab packs first came out, that the Sound Kitchen cab was what he tended to use on tones like Buried Alive - the really clean or slight breakup tones.

    Intro to The Stage is probably lower gain and a phaser or flanger on it. I'm not especially good at emulating tones.

    Not sure exactly how he has his setup but how I replicated as close to his tones as I have currently got are as followed.

    Sounding the Seventh Trumpet Album up to Nightmare Album Distorted tone - Amp - 5153 100W Red - Cab - Boner 4x12
    Buried Alive Clean - Amp - Texas Star Clean - Cab - 1x12 '72 Princely (I also add in a mild Delay, Chorus, And Reverb)
    Hail to the King Album Distorted tone - Amp - 5153 100W Red - Cab 4x12 Hellwin
    The Stage Album - Amp - 5153 100W Red - Cab - The Stage - For the intro on The Stage I again add in a Chorus, Delay and Reverb
