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!
