Any Axe-Fx owners here?

I have an Axe-Fx Ultra. Not many Ric users are on the forum over there. I'm looking to capture vintage / classic Rickenbacker guitar / Vox amplifier tones. I'm working on an Axe-Fx preset now that gets close using an AC-30 TB simulation, but it sounds a bit too harsh. I've got the hi-gain pickups down around 6-7 on my 330.
My set-up is this: guitar --> Axe-Fx Ultra --> Bose T1 --> Bose L1 Model II (two B1 bass modules)
FWIW, the Rickenbacker presets in the Bose system sound absolutely great, I use them direct (I AB my guitar direct to the T1 and to the Ultra into the T1). While they sound good, clean and pure Ric, I'm not getting the overdrive edge. The tones I'm after... a good example is The Beatles "I Feel Fine" both John's Ric 325 rhythm and George's Gretsch lead.
If anyone has an Axe-Fx and has captured tones like this, or anything that works well with your Rics, please let me know...and I hope you're in a "sharing" mood!
Peace.
