Great for Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here".
5. 12-String Simulator
L1 Ac 30 OFF 30 C4 d9 30
Close enough that you may decide against shelling
out the bucks for a real 12-String. Also much easier
to play than reg. 12'er. ENJOY!
6. 2x Fast for Tap and Great Sustain
C6 dt 30 9 50 OFF d7 30
This patch is great for tap guitar. It makes it sound
like you're playing twice as fast. It's good for non-tap

can up the compressor and delay if you want as
well.
7. 311 octaved riffs

Great for those 311 riffs that are octaved like songs
on the Grassroots album.

Good ol' 70's wah funk.
10. 70's Rock - Led Zeppelin
C1 bL 15 2 20 OFF H1 25
As about as similar to Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page as
one can get with this gadget. A nice warm tone, with
a mild blues distortion. Adjust the gain +5 or -5
depending on the song. For best results do not use
bridge pickup by itself.
11. 80s Distortion
L6 Mt 30 6 OFF C5 OFF 17
Sounds like the great Glam Rock distortion from the
80s.
12. 80's Lerxt

Lifeson used from Grace Under Pressure, Power

Windows and Hold Your Fire.

80's Duran Duran type guitar solo patch, tweaked.

Wah/synth sound, really good for funk. Oddly
enough, sound pretty good with an acoustic/electric.

tuning.

turn it to high for your amp's sake. Use your guitar's

notes or a bar on all 6 strings at the same fret.

C3 Od 14 3 40 C1 OFF 26
Tuned to settings as described by Brian on his 1987

I made this up for the Popmart-version of "Bullet the
Blue Sky", and for the outro on "Discoteque" (live). I

etc. Use it for the solo and the basics on "Bullet the

71. Carlos Santana
