Van Halen - Unchained Preset (Cygnus)

Hi all, A few people have asked for this preset so here it is. I'm using 2 stock cabs and one 3rd party, the trusty PT20 which I will include. Scene 1 is just the intro until the drums kick in (this is hard panned to the left) Scene 2 is the rest of the song.

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...

Hi all, i've been asked by so many people for this preset so here it is. It is using a stock cab. I use scene 1 in my video with chorus, scene 2 is using the pitch block instead of chorus and scene 3 i was messing around with the 100w Plexi so you can have a play and see what works for you. Enjoy.

Brownies. Free Preset and Video Demo.

I went to the Melbourne Guitar Show last weekend and was lucky enough to walk out with an FC-12. To celebrate I went home and spent a couple of days making a brown sound preset and accompanying video demo. There's some predictable stuff and some crazed stuff here. It's all free. I hope you can...

Van Halen Vibes

Hi All! Here's a little funny riff I came up with last night jamming, it's obviously highly inspired by EVH, so I also tried to improvise more - less in that manner :) Using my Axe Fx 2 and Charvel USA custom Guthrie Govan guitar, as usual :) Now, I am not sure I can share this preset if...

A couple of new (early) EVH presets - ready to download

I've put together a couple of EVH-type presets: one with the Brit Brown and another with the 6150 Block. Both utilise the 4x12 Greenback Mix cab. The only real difference between the presets is the amp block - Brit Brown vs 6150 Block. Otherwise, you'll get versions of VanDanzi's excellent...
