Probably a stupid question but…. JTV Presets…?

[Mastersonics]

Hi guys

 

Just got the dream rig and I'm loving it BUT

I need to know if there's a place I can find presets of the JTV models
I'm looking mostly for acoustic presets already with EQ, compression that can sound better than stock

just like the presets I can download for the HD500x...
 

 

Sorry for the stupid question but I'm having so much fun with this dream rig and I was wondering if there are presets for the Variax as well...

 

 

thanks again

regards,
Charles

Hi Charles, and welcome,

 

There are some cool Variax Workbench HD presets on those sites jandrio linked. If you're looking for EQ and compression, though, you're probably better off looking at Pod HD500 presets.

 

As you may know, a "preset" is basically the digital equivalent of writing down exactly where all the buttons and knobs are on a piece of gear. So, because the JTV does not have any onboard EQ or compression options, it's not possible to store EQ or compression as part of a JTV preset.

 

Since the HD500 does have those models, presets for it can include info like "In the 3rd effect block, put a Studio EQ model with its Highs set to xyz and its Lows set to abc."

 

I hope that helps - thanks,

 

Matt

One other thing - you might know this already as well, but the Tone knob behaves differently on the JTV Acoustic models compared with the electric models. On the acoustic models, the Tone knob is like a "mic position" knob, so there are a variety of sounds you can get by moving it around. Then you can save the precise position as part of a JTV preset.
