FW 25.01 REVV patch for your downloading and amusement pleasure. http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=10949 Although I rely heavily on my Fractal Audio gear both on stage and in the Youtube room, I'm still a traditional amp fan and have a few good ones on call at all times...

Whylite - A preset (free download) loosely based around the Magnatone Twilighter Stereo

I own a Magnatone Twilighter Stereo. I'm very fortunate, I know. To be in the room with it while it's in Stereo Pitch Vibrato mode is really something. Perhaps you've seen one of the vids I've shot that tries to convey its magic. Tough call, that one - capturing it. It's without a doubt one of...

FM9 Up To Boston

The quest for the mighty tones of Tom Scholz never stop here. This attempt goes more for the sounds on the first couple of albums which I believe were recorded with an attenuated Plexi and some deft use of a wah and EQ filters - before the advent of the ubiquitous Rockman. Just a bit of fun and...
