O.K., I’ve received a few PM’s asking me about the “tweaks” I’ve made to Danny’s patch …. Sorry it's taken so long for me to respond, but my computer went down and there was no way I could write this out from my phone ....
First of all …, I’m tipping my hat to Danny, because he packed more into this patch than I could have ever imagined …. And as much as anyone else I’ve ever seen too ( with the possible exception of “clarky” ) ….
Anyway, clearly Danny has a great ear for tone, plus the imagination to pull off something like this. I know that a lot of you guys appreciate the work it took him to get here, and you admire his work as I do !
SO THANKS Danny, and next time I pop one open …, Rest assured I’ll be saluting you for sure !
Without further adeu …, here’s what I did to make the patch work “better” for me ( “better” being a relative term ) … !
First, I changed ( essentially reversed ) the Input Trim controllers so that ‘toe-down’ is full gain and ‘toe-up’ is the reduced gain …, I did this only because I like my Amp ‘morphing’ patches to work like the accelerator in a car ( ie; Push on the “gas” to go faster, pull it back to go slower, I’m sure you get the metaphor ) !
Next, I changed ( reversed – the same as above ) the controllers in the Phaser to be the same as the Flanger ( ‘toe-down’ ) is engaged, and ( ‘toe-up’ ) is dis-engaged, now they both operate the same way with the same pedal action …. It was confusing for me to use the pedal in one fashion for one effect, and in a different manner for the other ….
Also, the preset was ‘popping’ for me when I switched to Scene 2 …. So, I noticed that Amp 1 Bypass Mode to was set to Thru. I changed it to Mute ( now it’s the same as Amp 2 ), and viola the ‘popping’ stopped … !
Finally, one last thing …. I didn’t even discuss the basics ( Bass, Mids, Treble, etc; ). Cause just like both Danny and Chewie5150 said right above this post …, that’s where everyone’s guitar, strings, pick and technique are going to differ …. What I did there probably won’t help you …, those tweaks you’ll need to handle on your own !
GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN !
