On this preset the amp drive is pretty crunchy even with the amp drive footswitch off, so to clean up your sound, roll back your guitar’s volume knob and/or play lighter. If you listen to the original tune you can really hear the dynamics of the amp breaking up when he digs in a little bit and I tried to recreate that on this preset.

Setup Notes:

The input is set to Input 1, the output is set to output 1.

This preset is configured to work with the Fractal FC12 controller, but all the important gain staging will be present on the FC6 as well. I use footswitch 12 (the top right footswitch on the FC12) to toggle between Layouts 7 and 8. Layout 7 has all my scenes, plus a tap tempo / tuner switch, Layout 8 functions as my “pedalboard” in all my presets.

Mono users: This preset is mono-compatible, but has stereo effects. In order to get the sound of both channels to FOH, in your global settings navigate to I/O > Audio Tab > “Output 1 Configuration” > Mode, and set it to “SUM L+R”. When running mono with SUM L+R, I recommend disabling the enhancer block.
