Scream 808 (Ibanez® TS808 Tube Screamer®)

Scream 808, the Helix model of a Ibanez® TS808 Tube Screamer®

The pedal has a characteristic mid-boosted tone popular with blues and rock players. The "legendary" Tube Screamer has been used by countless guitarists to create their signature sound, and is one of the most successful, widely copied, and "modded" overdrive pedals in the history of the electric guitar.

The Tube Screamer has a drive knob, a tone knob, and a level knob. The drive knob adjusts gain, the tone knob adjusts treble and the level knob adjusts the output volume of the pedal. The pedal is used to try to mimic the sound of a vintage tube amplifier. The classic Tube Screamer sound includes a "mid-hump", which means that the circuit accentuates frequencies between the bass and treble ranges (mid-frequencies). Some guitarists prefer this sort of equalization, as it helps to keep their sound from getting lost in the overall mix of the band.

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.

Heretick Lead

My current personal metal lead sound, based on the Line 6 Fatality. Smooth and buttery with a huge ambiance. No cab modeling, since I use my Pod Go into a power amp into a Vintage 30 equipped cab.

Revv Gen Red

This is the same patch made by Jorge but for the HX Stomp, I used my app (https://sensationnel-gerard-26922.herokuapp.com/) to visualize the parameters and recreated the patch. The original had two cabs in parallel but I had to sacrifice one and use an amp+cab block instead. I really like this one.

HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY OFF Can your computer handle it???? You might want to increase your buffer size!!A monstrous preset built with Helix Native with Hardware Compatibility turned off. Both paths have a hard gate and poly capo in front, with stereo imagers at the end, and some Simple Delay for a double-tracked feel. Path A has a Tube Screamer driving the Benizen Mega and Badonk amps, with the Field Coil and Blue Bell stock cabs respectively. Path B has the Bighorn Fuzz into the Grammatico with matching cab parallel to the US Princess with its 12" matching cab.

Heretick Riffs

My current personal metal riffing sound, based on the Line 6 Fatality. Tight and percussive, but in a thrashy way. No cab modeling, since I use my Pod Go into a power amp into a Vintage 30 equipped cab.

Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride) by Don Felder

This patch generates the beginning keyboard sound by using three 3-Note Generators, delay, overdrive and chorus as well as the verse delay using a momentary stomp footswitch. There are a couple ways to start the song. Check out the video at the bottom of this page.Here's how I do it.Start the Organ stomp (wait at least 10 seconds for minimum Attack time). You can change the Attack time of each 3-Note Generator for quicker intro.Have the drummer do a four beat count in. On 4, turn off the Organ (the delay will keep it ringing for another beat)Immediately step on the Verse Delay and on 1 of the next bar play the D->E chords and one chug on the open E chord.Release the Verse Delay (it will trail) and keep chugging.Repeat steps 4-5 for each bar.I put a 1-Switch Looper at the end  so you can record the main riff to solo over. If you do use it, I recommend using the Solo Dly for the first D->E so you have time to hit the looper, turn off the Solo Dly (it will trail) then use the Verse Delay for the rest of the rhythm.It uses the same Fulltone OCD and Deluxe Reverb as Felders rig rundown on YouTube. Enjoy.

MM Set HD K2 Dha

This is full set with 4 snapshots: 1. Clean Chorus, 2. Overdrive (bluesy), 3. Mid Gain and 4. High Gain which can cover a lot. Snapshots 2-3 can be used either as rhythm (without delay or/and chorus) and lead tones. All snapshots are aimed to reproduce tube amp, with sufficient tone definition and to cut through the mix. The tone  is made for PAF pickups (7.5 K neck and 11 K bridge), but tested (and sounds good) on high resistance,  "hot" pups as well (Ibanez Quantum).
