Creamy E Guitar Lead: like Holdsworth

In Factory Presets there is this amazing Guitar Preset called “Metal Guitar”. It can be used for many situations. Now I am just looking for a distorted guitar emulation which has not such a pronounced attack. I know that it is not possible to emulate 100 percent Allan Holdsworth E Guitar Sound, but I would like to come close. Do you have any advice how to get there?
Here is an example of Allan’s Sound. He always wanted the Guitar to sound like a Saxophone.
The solo starts at 3:43

More or less with trial and error I got closer to a creamy Holdsworth Distortion Guitar Sound. I changed the attack contour parameter and also now it has a little bit darker eq settings. The harsh attack has gone I would say :slight_smile: Tell me what you think or improve it even more.
