May Release for FW 14 plus
I'm pleased to release my "Firmware Version 14.02" - Shadows Presets 4. The journey to this point has had a couple of highlights, particularly with UltraRes IR's having such a great improvement on the sound of clean guitars.
3 week ago, a friend who owns several Meazzi Tape echo machines allowed me to capture the frequency response and of course the tonal changes that the machine added to the 1961-1965 recordings of many of the Shadows hits (The group had many chart hits in the UK, Europe and Australia/NZ during this period.) Suffice to say I have incorporated this information in these presets.
Unless some members have further contributions, this is likely to be the last release as improvements will now have diminishing returns for any effort. I'm now wanting to just enjoy these creations and hope that those who care to download and come back with suggestions can make further progress. You are most welcome to edit and change as you see fit.
Many thanks to Cliff and the team for their continuous improvements. Just wonderful!
Please note I have used User Cab slot #50 in most of these presets. The particular IR is
TAF_ACRox_MIX.syx included in the FAS FW14.02. If that slot is free, please load it with the IR before importing these presets.
If you have already installed this IR, simply change the the reference in the CAB block as you load the preset.
There are several presets using the Fender "DoubleVerb" amp and therefore may I suggest this UltraRes IR for those -
2x12 Double Verb M160.syx again included in FW14.02 You will have to change any Fender preset because I have current installed a factory HighRes IR just for publishing.
Many of these presets are an update of any AxeChange preset found under my name. (I wish I could just update and/or remove and replace them.)
The Readme.pdf file contains details of the presets, their coding system and some background information regarding the development of this release.
Download Link: Shadows Presets 4 (this is a zip file containing the readme.pdf, listing of some 250 tunes and suggested preset for each and the 50 presets).
These presets are specifically designed for an FRFR configuration although there is an "effects" output prior to the amp block to OUTPUT2 which could be used when you have your own amp.
Please enjoy and look forward to feedback and recordings.
