Van Halen I Preset ....

Sounds great!
What is that witchcraft you are doing in the Delay block that is parallel the reverb?
It looks like you have the Feedback, Input Gain, and Level tied to a Pitch follower.

Yes that's exactly it. It's definitely NOT V.H., but I like it ....

Play in the lower register and the delay is "less" ( less volume & less feedback ). As you go higher it starts to become more & more prominent. By the time you're above the 15th fret ( or so ), it's really singing ....

I hope you enjoy it !

What's wrong with the Eruption scene? The direct signal is killed and only a delay is heard.


Also, is the IR Length supposed to be off in the screenshot below? I noticed Michael Neilson kept running into this in his recent PCM70 IR video.

I'm not sure about the Eruption scene ? I'll have to go back and have a look ?

As far as that IR ..., yes it's supposed to be off. Because you're in front of the amp you only need one instance running and you want it in mono because it's simulating the Echoplex EP-3 preamp.

The reason that Michael Nielsen was using it in stereo, was because he was running after the AMP and he wanted stereo for both sides of the PCM-70.

This preset really sounds fantastic. If you can take a look at the Eruption scene it would be greatly appreciated! This may be my new EVH goto preset.

EDIT: I think the issue is w/the Delay block's source being tied to a foot controller. I don't have a pedal connected.

Pitch Block – ( Eventide Mirco-Pitch ) –
Channels 1 thru 3 are set up with different mix intensities. Channel 4 is the Mimiq that @Cooper Carter set up w/ John Petrucci. That’s only there because I REALLY like it ….

Any chance you could check the Pitch Block? All 4 channels are identical.
