Listen

Preflex Clean- Preflex has the compressor enabled, and the Cabinet is disabled, giving a very clean, slightly compressed guitar tone. A little Plate 140 was added for ambience. (Strat-Style Guitar direct into a UA 6176 tube preamp)

Listen

Preflex Dirty- Preflex is set up with a little compression, and the amp is a 50/50 blend between Fender Twin and Marshall Plexi amp models, through a 4x12. A little Plate 140 was added for ambience. (Strat-Style Guitar direct into a UA 6176 tube preamp)

Listen

Preflex Crunchy- Preflex is set up for the ultimate crunch guitar solo tone. A little Plate 140 was added for ambience (Strat-Style Guitar direct into a UA 6176 tube preamp).

Drum Kit, Gate Comp
featuring Vinnie Colaiuta*
Although the Gate in GateComp is designed for controlling hum and hiss from an electric guitar, it works great on other sources. The entire drum kit is going through the GateComp. This effect should be placed post fader, since the threshold of the gate is dependent with the amplitude of the incoming signal.

Listen

Phasor- Nigel is set up with a clean, compressed guitar and the Phasor module enabled. Plate 140 was added for ambience (Strat-Style Guitar direct into a UA 6176 tube preamp).

Listen

Modfilter- Nigel is set up as a slightly dirty amp thorough a closed-back 2x12, with the Modfilter enabled in AutoWah mode, and the Echo section set up for slap back echo (Strat-Style Guitar direct into a UA 6176 tube preamp).

Listen

TremFade- This is a cool setting that sounds like a backwards guitar. Adding Ping-Pong delay makes for an even more unusual effect (335-style guitar through a UA 6176 tube preamp).

Listen

TremModEcho- Nigel is setup slightly dirty, and the Tremolo, ModDelay, and Echo sections are set up to emulate a rotating Leslie Speaker with some delay. The Mod Delay can be set up so that the rate control of the Trem/Fade module is the master, and this puts both modules LFO rates in sync (335-style guitar through a UA 6176 tube preamp).

Listen

TremModEcho Synth Sample- The TremModEcho plug-in is taking this Synth Sample to a completely new world.
