Paul Gilbert Mr Big Lean Into IT Ampero Preset (Weekly preset 8)

 I love the intros in this album, and last week i spent a lot of time with Just take my hear and CDFF Lucky this time.

This preset is a bit different to my usual approach to guitar tone:

The key here is the gain at 25 (i dont know if you will need a bit of fine tuning!). With an humbucker at max value you are in the crubch territorry but use a single (o a splitted hb) and less volume and you will be as clean as it is needed for the Paul clean tone (AKA compressed/edge of breakup!). Usually i just change preset from clean to cruch and back, but this is own Gilbert do, so i will try to do the same for its songs!

Cab setting:

My standard parametric EQ to shelf unwanted freqs:

Then the modulation, was a chorus in the "lean into it" days and to me this one sound closer:

I have 2 preset, one with chorus on and the other with the chorus off.

If you noticed that my icon is different and want to know why, you can find it here:

Then a subtle amount of delay:

And finally a rightous amount of reverb:

The preset was made for headphone playing, input level at 0 and not global EQ.

As usual you can download the preset from the user group!

Megadeth Youthanasia Ampero Preset (Weekly preset 7)

 The main point of this preset is the amp choice. If you search in the forums there are many debates on what amp they used. But it is my preset so you will have my theory :)

It is a recto, it sound like that to me (and this album has a unique tone in the megadeth universe).

I choose a recto cab and an exotic mic this time, sounds gooud but i dont exlcude the use of a Mashall cab, they are very good and dave looks like is pretty settled on that beside what amp was used in studio:

The mic choice was a "try everything and see what sounded best to me" thing.

Almost classic shelf EQ:

And the boss delay to duble the guitar as usual:

If you noticed that my icon for the Sweetie/Boss Delay is different and want to know why, you can find it here:

Then a subtle plate delay:

The preset was made for headphone playing, input level at 0 and not global EQ.
