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.

Dimed Tweed Les Paul

From Joost Assink: I had set myself the goal to master all the parts in the epic final solo of Hotel California in my downtime during this crisis. I found out there are 11 parts!! (6 electric guitars, 2 acoustic guitars, 1 bass part, the organ part and of course programming drums). Well, it took a little longer than expected. I recorded all electric guitars and the bass using line 6 helix into an Apollo X8. I recorded the acoustic guitars with a stereo set of Neumann KM184s and I mixed everything in the new Universal Audio Luna DAW. I used a custom patch based on the tweed amp with a custom IR for all the electric guitars and I use the standard Cali 1 bass preset for the bass guitar. For the solos, I enabled a tube screamer, and for the telecaster parts, I added the script mod phaser pedal. For the reggae rhythm, I enabled the Wah pedal in a fixed position and for the supporting electric guitar lines, I added a little bit of chorus. Here's a free link to the IR used in the Youtube video:

5150 Crunch Lead Wah

Super fun 5150 patch... not for chugging but is a great hard rock patch. It has 3 snapshots... 1. Rhythm 2. Lead 3. Lead with auto wah. This was made with my PowerCab Plus using a York Audio IR so you will need to keep that in mind. Enjoy!!!

Mary Jane's Last Dance

This is a lightly edited mod of johnnyrauker's patch on CustomTone, found while looking for good uses of the Alpaca Rouge overdrive. Terrific sounding patch, nails the tones of Tom Petty and Mike Campbell. Experiment with different guitars for alternate tones.
