My All In One Preset

[Brian Coonan]

Hello FAS Peeps!
In getting ready for some gigs hopefully this year at SOME point, I remade a preset for my country/rock cover band and I think it came out pretty good. It's pretty specific to what I need but I think there are some good tones that maybe someone else could use too, but would be interested to hear what people thought. The clips were recorded with a PRS S2 Custom 24. This was based on a factory pre that used the HIpower Brilliant but I changed the name and can't remember which one it was! I added Dweezil's Bassguy for the 80s stuff.

Scene 1 - Clean - coil split and pickup in the middle position
Scene 2 - Rhythm - coil split and pickup in the bridge position
Scene 3 - Rhythm (More Gain) - coil split and pickup in the bridge position
Scene 4 - 80s stuff. Humbucker in the bridge position
Scene 5 - Open
Scene 6 - Open
Scene 7 - same as Scene 2 but with virtual capo on 1
Scene 8 - Lead (made for single coil and bridge position). Same as Scene 3 but with a filter block to push up the DB a little.

Check it out - maybe you'll dig it too. I cranked up my volume while my wife was at work (the secret to our 15 year marriage so far! hahah) and to me, it sounds excellent - can't wait to try it out live!

Peace - hope everyone has a great Saturday!
Section 1 - Scene 1
Section 2 - Scene 2
Section 3 - Scene 3
Section 4 - Scene 4

I've been meaning to cook up my own kitchen sink, all-in-one preset but I end up sidetracked by jamming with my already existing presets and getting lost in time.

Same - it literally happens to me every time I start playing through this thing. I rarely get anything actually done besides a bunch of random playing - but I certainly don't mind that side effect of owning one.

Here's a quick intro to Something About You by Boston using this preset - I wasn't really trying to replicate Tom Scholz sound, just using this preset to see how it came out. The two leads are Scene 3, the rhythm guitar is scene 2 - backing track has bass and drums. Every time I hear a Boston song I'm instantly transported to care free summers, and love it.

Great job playing Something about you intro love Boston. Really sounded good Brian.
I got to see them in Tampa when they came out with the Third Stage Album. It was a really an awesome show.
Got to check out some of the gear they were using I counted 28 racks of Eq‘s with several EQ’s in each rack. Pretty cool getting to check that out.
