ODS #102 Patch and Clip

[barhrecords]

@ R.D. I understand why Paco was using +2DB, what I do NOT understand is how Sean arrived at 1.26 on input trim to be equivalent to +2DB. And that's what I'm asking Sean to clarify.

The equation for voltage ratio to dB is:

A = 20*log10(V2/V1)

where:

A = decibels
V1 = current input trim
V2 = new input trim

Solving for V2:

V2/V1 = 10^(A/20)
V2 = (10^(A/20)) * V1

Plugging in the values of 2db and current input trim=1:

V2 = (10^(2db/20)) * (input trim=1)
V2 = 10^(1/10)
V2 = 1.2589254117941672104239541063958


1.259 is the ratio (multiplier) that = 2dB increase in the input.

This matches my mental image of a Dumble tone. Even my brightest guitar sounds a lot darker though.

I turned on the PEQ and bumped the dynamic presence.

Really nice tone though without any tweaks! The note attacks are just lovely.

I just want to compliment all the tasty chords and riffs in your mp3 recording, Paco, mindblowing! And thanks for sharing the preset!

 

[Randy4Guitars]

Yeah Paco has great taste and feel. Always enjoy his playing. Knows his amps too.

I like the way highs break up when diggin....

Yep.

Sounds outstanding w/a Gibson Les Paul Traditional. It sounds good w/a Fender Strat Deluxe... Thanks, I will definitely use this!

wow quit playing guitar and teach mathematics. or is it mild mannered math teacher by day and wild axe man by night! I am very glad I can make music with out having to do that math, I would be SOL!!!!!!!

I got it today finally ! had to upgrade to 17.2 killer patch great sound thank you !

I have not upgraded mfc 101 . dont know how to do that at all but the patch works ..
Since I upgraded my scenes are all whack but maybe upgrading mfc will help..

How does one do that without causing damage I know you must upgrade firmware without that hooked up
how to do that for mfc controller only ?

The issue was 17.3 I had 17.2 works fine now to fix scenes....
Thanks had to lower level a bit to stop clipping but all good now.. !!

 

[paranoid]

Thank you for the patch! works great! hope you don't mind but I added the klon IR from this post in front and used it as a boost.http://forum.fractalaudio.com/lounge/94027-klon-centaur-interesting-read-inventor.html

Still not sure how one gets usable volume from the patch.
The sound clip sounds great.

I think the preset I have is corrupt somehow.

Had an FX Loop block inserted after amp.
The Cab and Reverb were disabled.
Strange.

I cut the FX Loop out. Have normal volume now.

PacoCasanovas, this is really sweet. My Imperial just eats it up. It's got the right feel, and it goes from glorious chime to blaring trumpets, and all you have to do is change the way you address the strings. It sings, jumps and snaps. Thank you for this.

P.S.: try small amounts of the DYNAMICS knob and see what you think.

 

[unFILTERed]

this sounds really good man, REALLY good great tone...thx for sharing.

 

[Tex Axe]

are you on 17.3 ? I had to upgrade to make it work... from 17.2 at that..
input drive 5.67 over drive 5.75 master v 10 level -6

you might have to adjust the amp some..
trying to screen cap but its not letting me do it..
Thats how I got a good sound hope that helps you some.

Trying to reach funeral John have not been able to connect with him since last year
hope he is doing ok...

This sounds great.

Hard to believe you plug in your guitar, press record and this comes out.

 

[pima1234]

Can't quite get that flip, but that's probably in your fingers. Great patch. Enjoyable to play. Works with a nice variety of IRs too.

Anyone tried that FET Preamp drive block with single-coils? What settings do you normally use? It just sings with drive on 4, level at 3 and all others at default... but then I can't get it to clean up that well with just using picking dynamics. Input drive at 1.206, using Nocaster pickups (Alnico 3), G&L Telecaster.

Anyway, it's definitely my go-to Dumble preset atm.

This patch sounds absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing it. It's an amazing tone.. not real dirty but very creamy and thick. Just like Robben Ford sounded live. My own playing style doesn't exploit how great it really is. Might have to develop some new chops.

Paco
Thank you very much for this patch, it sounds awesome, I have tried quite a few sounds from the patch exchange and have yet to find one that sounds anything like it describes. Your patch however is absolutely awesome.... It sounded great with my EMG loaded strat and fantastic with my 335 with dirty fingers, thank you for this.
By the way, what is the idea of the loop the way it is patched in?

I haven't checked, but probably for "out 2"
