Im a pretty new user, had the ultra for a week or so now.
Up until now I've mainly been flicking through the presets, reading the manual, having a bit of a go at tweaking here and there and going through some of the uploaded patches on the axe exchange.
I've managed to get some really nice sounds, especially a couple of higher gain sounds and crunchy marshall kind of sounds but i've so far failed to achieve any kind of warm Fender(ish) clean or dirty sound (ala wacking a tube screamer in front).
I've searched the forum and it seems there is quite a bit of debate about achieving fender sounds especially regarding the classic chimey edge to them.
Now, im not expecting a dead on replica sound and im not expecting there to be this perfect chimeyness, in fact Im just after something that sounds real sweet, dont really care if its not 100% authentic. But im aiming for the fender amp kind of ball park.
If i have to give an example im thinking sort of Stevie Ray Vaughan kind of sound, from the nice clear cleans through to some smooth breakup getting abit dirty and hairy to full on pushing the amp hard to get a warm lead sound.
Pretty much your typical fender amp + tube screamer combo.
Obviously, this was the first combo I put together to try and achieve this sound but, as this is all so new and complicated to me I'm getting a little frustrated and I would really, really, really appreciate it if anyone could either send me a couple of patches or give me some hints and advice to give me a good solid starting point to try and achieve this sound.
