LA Studio Comp (Teletronix® LA-2A®)

LA Studio Comp, the Helix model of a Teletronix® LA-2A®

For over 50 years the Teletronix LA-2A has been revered for its smooth, natural, musical compression. WIth its unique tube-driven electro-optical attenuator system that allows instantaneous gain reduction with no increase in harmonic distortion, the LA-2A massages signals like no other compressor ever made.

Mike Ness Tone

This is the HX Stomp version of this tone - there's also a version for the Helix available here by selecting the Helix as your device. This is a very good approximation of Mike Ness's Tone on the Social Distortion albums. The recipe is iconic - a dirt pedal into a Bassman head, then into Marshall cabinets. The sample clip was played on a legit Les Paul with P90 pickups - you need this to get the real deal.

Green Day Dookie

Good tone match for the Dookie album by Green Day. I added the Goatkeeper, although it wasn't used on the album. It helps for some of their future material. Billie Joe used a Strat copy with a humbucker on the album, try that here.

Black Rusty Bass Tone

This tone is modeled on the bass guitar chain of Rusty Sanchez, bassist for Black Monday. It's a straight ahead rock and roll bass tone of a SansAmp into an SVT.

Twin City

Nice Fender Twin, for Hawaiian or Country sounds. There's a Minotaur lurking in there somewhere, in case you need it.

JOHNAMAYERTRIX

(Reposted with permission from AndrewUtz on CustomTone.com) A John Mayer Tone, referencing Slow Dancing In A Burning Room. In this patch I used some basic stuff that I know John has used (or the closest thing to it I could find). I know live he has used dumbles along with a fender bandmaster, so for this I used a split path and ran a Litigator and a Twin Reverb at the same time. As far as the cabs go I tried my best to match how I know that continuum was recorded, I typically use red wire IR's but for you guys I used the equivalent Helix cabs. I put a dual cab block of the same cab but one is mic'd with a 57 and the other a beyerdynamic 160 (he really used an M88). Looks like he also used U87 or 67 room mics but alas it wouldn't let me add in another cab block. To compensate for this I used a room reverb at the end of the chain. I also put the Spring reverb before the cabs to simulate the acutal outboard fender reverb tanks john has used in the past. This patch probably needs some tweaking to make it like whatever you like, but I definitely think this is a good starting point for a Mayer like tone.

On the Mark

A nice fat clean tone using the Mark IV Rhythm channel. There's a second snapshot that's dirtier as well, but I'm not 100% happy with it.
