Here's a quick test clip of a Steve Morse tune, Simple Simon, that shows a range of humbucker tones of this preset, Hectic Corn Melon. It' s on the AxeExchange if you wanna check it out with your setup.
HecticCornMelon 1 Preset on Axechange

Notes:
This patch needs pedals plugged into EXP 1 and 2 to take full advantage of the control features. This is a chewy medium gain Cornford sound that works great on PAF type humbuckers in all positions as well as single coils. It morphs between rhythm and lead settings while keeping a unified and organic vibe.
EXP 1 controls two parameters - amp gain and send to a stereo ducked delay delay witha touch of mod and set to dotted quarter tap tempo.
EXP 2 adds a very small amount of OD Drive pedal up front that compresses and cuts the low end just a hair and adds a little cut to the top when a slightly more aggressive thing is needed.
I use this one live straight to FOH with single coils and humbuckers on the Hectic Watermelon tune "Bionic Hillbilly;" and with humuckers on, "Steve's Stunt Double," and "Bullets, Dice and 30 Megabytes." I also use it when we cover the Dregs classic, "Cruise Control."
Lastly, I created this preset in conjunction with a mix if drums and bass from the original Pro Tools sessions from the HWM album, The Great American Road Trip in a control room setting. I muted Jerry Goodman's violin, and all rhythm guitars and keys to make sure the preset works well in a lean trio mix. It has lots of mids and a nice balance of punchiness and sustain.
