AcDc Ampero Preset (Weekly preset 5)

The Plexi tone is a huge classic that i recently understanded how it works and what use it for.

My first usage was actually for "Back in black" from ACDC, but then it gained a spot for Iron Maiden Revelations, some Red Hot Chili Peppers tune, Pearl Jam and a lot of midgainy stuff. Here's the amp block setting:

I use the 50 jump because is the one closer to my ideal Plexi tone (angry highs, lots of bass and midrange and that humph!). The tone control are all maxed because in this amp are very subtle and if you turn it down you will just loose push without really shape the tone. The trick to change the tone is use a different guitar. If you want Red hot or Pearl Jam just lower the gain to taste.

The cab is a very easy default setting but this time i have used a very common trick: i used the shelfs controls in the para eq. Very powerful and classic EQ setting.

It will make the preset sounding very pleasy and sit well in the mix. Try to on/off to see what it does.

I'm writing down a page with my preferred cab settings here:

I doubled the guitar with a very narrow 30ms delay:

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

Angus Young did not use reverbs in his classic recordings but accurately choose a recording studio with a good "ambience". I play with the headphones so i added a subtle reverb (maybe the producer added it in the recording, i dont know):

I hope you enjoy it|

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

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