Here is my take on U2's version of the Lou Reed classic "Satellite of Love". Loosely based on the ZOO TV tour version. The preset works as a general clean sound for a hollowbody as well.
For the preset to work, you need 2 IRs:
- "Clark Kent's Gift to Mankind IR" in user cab slot 50 for CAB2 (in the main signal chain)
- UltraRes version of "gtrbody" acoustic IR in user cab slot 42 (in parallell)
Of course, you may reassign the user cab number as required/as you please.
I've added a Dimension D chorus block, which is linked to an expression pedal through the "Extern 1"-controller. This effect is not for the Satellite-sound, but for general use. (Added only because I just can't get enough of that chorus)
FW 13.02, equipment used is a Gibson ES-335 '63 Historic with Burstbucker PUs and FRFR through 2 CLRs.
