Wanted to share this one as it's a somewhat odd combination of things! I've been having a blast with it for both recording and live performance. I'm using the FAS Express into the 2x12 TX Star (Factory 2 #147) and the 4x12 Recto 4047 A (Factory 2 #823). I'm boosting the front end a bit with the BB Pre, Gain at 0.8, Level at 10. Add some delay & reverb to taste and it's killer lead sound IMO. Especially for single coils. Try it! You can hear this sound in the video at about 1:47. If anyone wants this exact preset just say the word, Happy to share.

Such a nice surprise to see all the positive comments, I greatly appreciate it!

I've attached the preset for those interested in giving it a go. Some things to note: I use both the noise suppressor gate and the downward expander gate. Be sure to adjust those for your instrument and playing environment as too much can kill the wonderful sustain this patch has. Especially when rolling off the guitar volume. Speaking of which, that's one of the best things to do with this patch! Really touch-sensitive and if your guitar has a treble bleed, you're gonna love the sound with the volume down to 4-5. Also, try using dialing back the input trim. You may find an even better result than using the guitar's volume knob. The whammy is attached to external 2 so, adjust as needed. It uses the clever "Golden Whammy" setting. Regarding Out 1 & 2, I use one for recording and IEM, 2 for FOH. Out 2 has a bit of cut in the lows & highs to tame the Fletcher Munson effect when pushing some volume. This is just one scene, the others were just for experimentation. Hope you guys have some fun with it, let me know how it goes!
