here's a clip of my second clean preset
clean mode amp = Hipower Normal
solo mode amp = 5153Red
start: clean mode, neck pup, EXP1 toe down, iffy fingerstyle playing
0:31: clean mode EXP1 heel down [adds quad-chorus], neck pup, more iffy fingerstyle
1:16: clean mode, EXP1 heel down, neck pup, switched to using a pick [got tired of embarrassing myself more than I do normally.. lol]
1:32: clean mode, EXP1 toe down [kills the quad-chorus], neck pup, using a pick
1:54: clean mode, EXP1 toe down [kills the quad-chorus], both pups [same as Les Paul centre selection], using a pick
2:12: clean mode, EXP1 toe down [kills the quad-chorus], bridge pup, using a pick.. couldn't think of anything to do so resorted to some crass Stones-ish chords... [jeez I can't believe I actually recorded that... I think I've shamed the family name with that one.. at least it's really short though...lol]
2:30: clean mode, EXP1 heel down [adds the quad-chorus], neck pup, using a pick
all that was with the Hipower Normal....
from hear on everything is with the 5153Red... and... I managed to resist the urge to shred...
after writing this I think I'll be in need of a little riff replacement therapy....
2:44: solo mode, EXP1 heel down [morphed to clean], neck pup, using a pick
3:13: solo mode, EXP1 toe down [morphed to dirty], neck pup, using a pick
3:37: solo mode, EXP1 toe down [morphed to dirty], switched to bridge pup, using a pick
3:47: solo mode, EXP1 heel down [morphed to clean], switched to neck pup, using a pick
4:00: alternate solo mode via EXS2, EXP1 heel down [morphed to clean], switched to neck pup, using a pick
4:16: alternate solo mode via EXS2, EXP1 toe down [morphed to 'slightly dirty', adds +12 and -12 pitch shifter], neck pup, using a pick
4:38: alternate solo mode via EXS2, EXP1 heel down [morphed to clean], neck pup, using a pick [couldn't resist a little Bach with this tone]...
EDIT: shout to Cliff - I am so liking the Hiwatt... you've gone and hit yet another bullseye with this one.. what a versatile tone.. it's a true 'one size fits all' type of clean.. dial it in once and it'll serve pretty much any purpose....
EDIT 2: there's no Ring-Mod in this preset... I've just realised that I took it out yesterday.... but forgot that I had until I just looked at Axe-Edit....
