I got a new guitar and some inspiration from @Glenn DeLaune's post about his Hook 3B preset so I set out today to conquer the mighty Hook amp models once and for all!
The end result: Captain Hook!
I don't usually run with an X/Y AMP setup but I gave it a shot for this preset and it works really well. The X side of the AMP block is a clean 1A model that has a touch of "pop" on it, a fast response and a good range of tones across all the pickup settings on the JEM. The Y side takes it up quite a bit with the 3B model. It's running with low'ish gain on the 3B so it stays tight.
I use the drive block to hit both sides harder. The drive block is also set up for X/Y use with two different flavors of Full Drive on tap. Lower gain on the X side with mild output and higher gain on the Y side with lots of output.
In the CAB block I'm using the 4x12 Uber V30 57 Cap-Edge IR from Cab Pack 5, the 4x12 UltraRes collection. Great IR! I saved the preset with it on factory cab 47 the 4x12 German V30 (RW) IR which is what Glenn is using in his preset according to that thread. Work well too, but I like the focus of that 57 capture from the cab pack.
Pedal 1 is assigned to auto-engage the wah. Pedal 2 takes the delay into self-oscillation.
Enjoy!
