Lap Steel

Cool lap steel tone for country western or Hawaiian music. Sorry about the single coil hum in the demo, had trouble getting rid of it completely, even with the Horizon gate engaged.

Mike Ness Tone

This is a very good aproximation 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.

Placate

This is my main church preset. This uses the Placater Clean and Placater Dirty models to provide four snapshots of clean to hi-gain tone. Two additional snapshots are for swells and ambient tones. The preset uses an IR (OwnHammer 212 VC30 BLU-93 OH1-07) but replace with the default Placater cabinet and should be about the same. Dialed in with a PRS S2 Single Cut (humbuckers) w/ input pad on.

Rock Bassman

I created this patch after listening to a cool pop punk, 50's inspired band at a local club. The guitar player had epic tone, using a Les Paul into a Bassman head going into a 2x12 fender cab.  I did my best to reproduce his tone, a very simple but hard hitting rock n roll tone.Play the neck pickup and reduce the volume a bit on the guitar, and you're in a nice blues sound as well.
