Hello my fellow Axe Tone Friends,
Since I've started using my Ultra, I would occasionally get asked for some patches or what settings I use (Amps, Delays Stuff). Well my crazy year of production has wound down and I have been enjoying being just a guitar player again. (I get to practice and tweak guitar sounds on EVERYTHING. So I decided to upload some of my main guitar patches to the forum. Feel free to put them in axe change if you think they are worth it. I'm not sure how much use you can get out of them as guitars maybe different, Speaker monitoring systems maybe different also Im using Redwirz Marshall 4x12 G something (Man I need to figure that one out for sure) cab with 421 2 inches off axis. So right there things will be different. I use the Same Cab for all of my patches, cause that's what works for me.
Also. These are my main live basic patches. They work great live coming through stage Monitors which are usually EQ'd for Vocals. But they also work well through little Roland AC-60 Acoustic amps and I sometimes I plug into the Effects return of rented back-line (usually Fender type amps and the sounds are not so bad but it's more for having a little guitar sound roll off the stage since the stage monitors are pointed towards me. So I end up with a sound out front that sounds great, cuts through the band (even a 9 piece Funk rock Latin Jazz Afro Cuban band that I play with in San Diego some times). and a the Monitor sound plus a sort of strange on stage amp sound with the Speaker sims on. But only the people in the very front would hear that, they would also hear what they should hear coming from the house Speakers.
I EQ My Patches with My Genelc (with a Sub) monitors in my studio, and I've tweaked them at many sound checks. So I feel OK about how the onstage sound can sometimes be a bit bright or some times a bit bass heavy(depending on how I monitor, but I know that it works out front so I leave it alone and deal with listening to it that way.
My Main Clean patch is the Shiva and it has Delay and 2 Chorus blocks in it, one for Chorus and the other for Vibrato, I'm stuck on the Boss CE-1/Retro Sonic Chorus type thing. IA, Careful It should have the Comp, Pitch 1 Drive and one of the Chorus blocks Bypassed to start with. There is also a Volume Block assigned to EXT 1 so you may not get any sound if you don't have a pedal assigned to it.
My Main Crunch, Marsha BE And it should be Bone dry, I've never been a fan of Verb unless it's a special effect. I prefer Delay but since this is for crunch and rhythm parts, No Delay. It is set up for Spill over though.
My Main Lead patch uses the Marsha HBE Low Drive setting but the master is cranked. It has Delay on it and that's about it.
All The Patches should have Comp or Wah waiting to engage as well as and Oct lower before the amp and a fifth after the amp just begging be switched on. There should also be a looper (Delay 2) as well.
Also My Global EQ's are pretty dramatic (too me) I roll off a lot of Lows and a lot highs.
I uploaded a video of these patches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP47HJlOY8w
The sounds is from the Camera mic. I will also upload another video with the Sounds going direct to pro Tools, No Eqing or extra compression, (Very unreal-world situations)

I hope that answers a few questions for those truly seemed interested. I'll post the other video link as soon as I get it up there.
