Def Leppard Hysteria Snapshot Tone

Recommended Posts

The other day, while in the car, Def Leppard's Hysteria came on the radio.  As I listened I heard different guitar parts, and each had unique and killer tone.

 

I thought a helix custom tone, with multiple snapshots of this song had to exist, and if not, there must be a Helix custom tone of Def Leppard.

 

Searching this site there are slim pickings of Hysteria and/or Def Leppard custom tones.  The few that exist have poor (or fair) reviews.

 

With some of the great sound designers that upload helix custom tones, and the power and versatility that the Helix offers, I'm surprised that there doesn't appear to be a custom tone that captures these glorious tones in a single custom tone with snapshots. 

 

Does anyone know if what I am looking for exists?

 

Thanks!

This may create some controversy, but that album is full of Tom Scholz Rockman. Clean and distorted. It's a sound that is notoriously difficult to duplicate with modelers. Glen DeLaunne has a Def Leppard patch (It's called Phil Collen) in his Custom Artist Patches Vol II

He has a video there that you can listen to him using the patch. 23:07

Hi talonmm,

 

Here ya go - the whole classic albums worth from Scott Minchk ( The Helix Channel)

Most of Scott's presets use 3rd party UR's from 3 Sigma and need to be purchased from them.

 

Anyhow, I bought this pack (among others) and they are excellent, plus Scott has a video showing how he puts them together.

 

Check 'em out!
