    Tips for achieving this lead tone?

    The lack of attack on the notes is caused by the awful camera/web cam built-in compressor, I bet it sounds drastically different in person. I get the exact same effect when recording with the iMac built in cam so I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here!

    AFIII DOKKEN - Back For The Attack tone w/patch

    There's nothing added to the guitar track, just a limiter on the Stereo Out to bring up the level a few dbs, doesn't affect the sound though

    AFIII DOKKEN - Back For The Attack tone w/patch

    Thank you so much guys!! Playing along with the record using this patch is super fun 🤘 Glad to hear it sounds good with different IRs! I'm sure there are lots of stock ones that could work just fine too!

    AFIII DOKKEN - Back For The Attack tone w/patch

    Hey guys!🤘 Back in 2013 I created my first Back for the Attack-inspired patch, figured it was time to re-build it from scratch :D! Needless to say this sounds way closer to the original to my ears, very happy with how it came out (please note, the IR I chose is crucial to the final sound, more...

    Legacy Dokken - Standing In The Shadows SOLO cover

    Hey dudes! This was a super early, pre-release version of what years later became the GGD Zilla IRs plugin, can't remember the specific one I used but I'm pretty sure it was a 57 mic'ing a v30 on a 4x12!

    Thanks guys! 🤘 Thank you Johnny! Radius is 16", very flat but not too flat like a 20", it's actually very comfortable to play. The stainless steel frets really make a huge difference, bends and vibratos feel super smooth! The neck is a beauty (quarter-sawn Wenge)

    AFIII Tribute to Eddie Van Halen (w/ free patch)

    Yeah this patch was created to be played on studio monitors and for direct recordings, If I'd have to play it through a PA I'd definitely filter out some lows and highs. Start with a low cut at 100hz/hi cut at 8khz and go by ear from there!

    Which 80's style hard rock and metal super strats should I consider?

    Yep at the time of this video the guitar was still stock (JT6/J90c pickup), now it's got a Seymour Duncan JB and a black original Floyd, it was a direct replacement, but I've kept the stock mounting studs and inserts. My model 2 is an '87 so I'm pretty sure it should fit perfectly on yours as...
  33. ProgressiveRocco

    Which 80's style hard rock and metal super strats should I consider?

    My vote goes to the Charvel San Dimas, for the money it's hard to beat for the 80s stuff. I'm not a fan of the 1000 series Floyds though, so I'd probably replace that with a Made in Germany one. I've done that on all my 3 Charvels, no regrets! Neck heel is still in the classic "bulky" Fender...

    AFIII 1980's STUDIO RACK CLEAN TONE (w/ free patch!)

    Probably too hot and middy, if you have a guitar with HSS or HSH configuration you could use the bridge inner coil+middle, that should work just fine.

    Hey everyone! :) Here’s my recreation of the classic L.A. studio tone from the 80s, made famous by players like Landau, Thompson and Lukather just to name a few! This is a completely re-worked patch (I also did one back some years ago for the Axe-Fx II), way better sounding and most importantly...

    Just connect the reverb and delay to the main signal path (like the pitch block) and it should be fine!

    AFIII Tribute to Eddie Van Halen (w/ free patch)

    If you swap the Plexi with the 6160 block (bass at 6, mids at 3 or 4, treble at 6), and keep the pitch detune and stereo delay on it's pretty much the Balance tone ;) I personally like that album, but I'm not a huge fan, I feel he really started to change his sound from that record, tons of gain...

    AFIII Tribute to Eddie Van Halen (w/ free patch)

    I think it's safe to say Eddie's passing left a void in the guitar world that will never be filled. In my opinion there's never been anyone so influential, inspiring and creative as EVH, he took what Hendrix did 10 years prior and brought it to a whole other level. The electric guitar as an...
  57. ProgressiveRocco

    Van Hagar and beyond EVH - that detune effect?

    His sound was definitely more chorus-y, I believe he was using the lexicon pcm 41 to get a chorus-like effect, but I personally prefer the fixed pitch detune, especially on rhythms, doesn't get as swirly/swampy but still retains a very similar feel!
  58. ProgressiveRocco

    Van Hagar and beyond EVH - that detune effect?

    ^ ^ ^ ^ This ;) That's the setting I'm using, sounds spot on to my ears. Anything more than -9/+9 is too much for Ed's stuff IMO. I like to crank it to -11/+11 for more of a Chris Holmes tone, always loved his guitar sound on WASP's early stuff. 11/12 cents works great for Mick Mars/Dr Feelgood...
  59. ProgressiveRocco

    Van Hagar and beyond EVH - that detune effect?

    I personally love that VH era! I've got a (free) patch coming out in a few days which includes the harmonizer/detune effect, nails pretty much everything from 5150 and beyond 🤘🏻😉Gonna post it here on the forum as soon as the video is up!

    How to Get Periphery 4 Guitar Tone

    99.9% sure the main amp throughout the album is the PVH 6160 Block, that's Misha's favorite, he goes over his patches quite often in his Twitch/Youtube streams. He also probably used the Friedman BE on the tighter/lower gain parts
