jl255 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Have a few tones that I wish to create on hd500 but suck at it. Anyone keen to offer patch services for a fee? I will give you mp3 or youtube and you will deliver the patches. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 What kind of guitar are you using? And what are you playing through? It will make a big difference if whoever might do this, doesn't have your exact setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl255 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 true, i'm using a fender american strat. perhaps we can assume it is through a clean setup ie a normal amp with no effects? does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 The best patch for absolute clean is no patch. LOL "I am sure someone will tone match for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 No. There is no such thing as a normal amp. They all have their own "voice". At least could you say whether the cabinet is 1, 2 or 4 speakers, closed back or open and what size the speakers are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl255 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 1 speaker, open back. I believe its this amp: http://www.fender.com/amps/guitar-amplifiers/65-super-reverb-120v/ anyway the effect i'm looking for is here from 0:25 onwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noiCyxoAnYg it has a few delays going on, but i just can't get it.

bjnette Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Try some U2 patches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl255 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 That's awesome. Tks alot for the tip. Really appreciate it. Any reason why you suggest analog delay instead of a digital delay? And the tempo sync when you say quarter notes is 16 beats to a bar? use 2 delays (analog delay with modulation FXs could be a good choice) together: one set to quarter notes.. the other one on dotted eights.. adjust the number of repetitions (feedback) and mix settings.. then use the tap tempo function to sync with the song basic beats (quarter notes).. play the eights notes of the main riff.. done!

jl255 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 i'm using the hd500 and i've set up 1/8 (dotted) delay followed by 1/4 delay both using analog w/ mod. I've set feedback on both to really low of about 15% with mix about 50%. But its still no where close to the desired effect. The attack of the patch is no where close. The patch can be found here: https://www.mediafire.com/?d373hqzcqqekj8b What am i doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl255 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Wow, tks. Didn't even realize that delays should be put parallel instead of series. :( I've followed all your guides and got this: https://www.mediafire.com/?d373hqzcqqekj8b Is this roughly what you got? Still doesn't sound right. I'm not getting the strong delays that make the sound so full. My rough bpm is 133 based on my tap (just to confirm that my tap is correct). But if it's what you got, then its my playing that is the problem now then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl255 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 you might have downloaded the wrong file as the file you sent is similar to what i had. anyway, i tried your patch and tried the various settings, but still getting no where close to that sound :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I hear three repeats per note in the video. Check me on this. You can hear it the clearest at approx. :52,:53 The bpm is about 140. 140 bpm is approx. 429 ms. Try a delay of approx 215ms to 107 ms and then adjust your feedback so you hear 3 repeats. Mix should be at least 40% I think. I'm doing all of this wihtout hearing it so sorry if this doesn't do it. Anyway, then play arpeggios at the tempo of the song and see what you get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl255 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 don't be mistaken, i don't doubt what you said, just wanted to clarify that i have done what you suggested previously. perhaps i uploaded the wrong file then. i don't know what could be the reason, but using your patch, i don't get the same fullness of sound. The echos are also much softer than in the video isn't it? Maybe i just don't know how to play the muted sound.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hey jl255, :) I made a new patch different than yours, and I used 2 delays in parallel mode with the same time settings I already described previously, and I tweaked a bit their other parameters.. here is how it sounds like: https://soundcloud.com/hurghanico/happy-day-g-sound Excellent patch! -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
