This patch is the ****!

A friend of mine who is a jazz player came over with his Heritage. I wanted to impress him with the diversity of my setup. We set him up a tone for his taste. He complained that it was too boomy on the bottom end but he liked it. When he left I plugged in my EVH and it was boomy. I added vintage pre and ran the HPF to get rid of boominess. Slapped a delay on it and it sounded very U2. Bad sounded fantastic clean. Just like the studio version. Slapped on some distortion and felt I had easily approximated the live sound. Note the amp choice and settings. These are not typical choices for a rock player I wouldn't think. Anyway, this is the nbest tone for this tune I have come up with and if you use an LP, EVH, or other humbucker guitar I urge you to try this. I used the middle position for pickups and volume and tone all the way up (as usual)

It should work well!!!

Sorry I forgot last night!

I always have my volume all the way up. In my mind I don't want to take any potential away from the intended tone of the guitar. Pickup switch in middle position.

I want to hear a LP through it. Although the patch is not perfect there. I think the delay mod settings could be better and I already adjusted them.

have a ssh strat and a les paul with fairly hot humbuckers, both with stainless frets like the evh wright?

so should be in the ballpark.

I would be happy to when I get home around 6pm EST.

What kind of guitar are you using? I am using an EVH which has HOT humbuckers. So, your results may vary.

Thanks Sir!

I do have the octoverb in the preset, but it is not present here.

I didn't split the humbucker. I acutally used both pickups (switch in middle position).

I've seen the Edge use various guitars to do the same tune. Often, ones I would've not picked having his arsenal of choices. I'm in love with the EVH's as of late (got 2). I just tried to make it work.

Glad you liked it.

Really loving the HD500 with DT50. In my mind you need both. While the DT alone is a great amp, the HD needs the DT.

Loving the setup, options, AND SOUND!

Great work! Sounds great!

This song is just fantastic

You can also work with the octo verb in some parts to recreate a shimmer effect and add more room to the sound.

Is the guitar humbucker splitted? (it sounded great)

Just thought I'd share. I finally am getting a handle on the DT50 thanks to advice gleaned here.

This is an EVH Wolfgang Stealth Special > HD500 > DT50-112 (I just can't see using a modeled guitar/guitar sound at this point)

1 slap delay (1 tap) running paralell to a dotted 8th delay into a amp. I used a patch cable in the effects loop of the HD500 that along with the loop effect allowed me to add a little bit of dirt.

Once I get past the staccatto/muted parts the strings ring like bells. Loving my setup.

Let me know what you think. I'm not sensitive.
