PATCH NAME: BHM gtr B/M 80s

Version: 1.00

Category: Queen

Style: Rock

Description: Brian May guitar with Bridge and Middle pickups (in-phase) going through AC30 amps. This sound is a more tamed, smoothed out version of the first patch I made. That one was more of a raw sound. This one definitely lends itself to the more mid-80's sound of Brian May.

FileType: mid

Keywords: Brian May, Queen, treble booster, Electric.
-----------------------------------------------------

Notes: CTL1 = As per the previous Brian May patch, this activates a 3-part delay which Brian commonly uses live for harmony guitars on-stage.

CTL2 = As a change, I decided to add a phaser sound for some "Keep Yourself Alive" action. And the D-Beam is set as a tremolo drop effect.

Hope peeps like this new one. Let me know how it goes!

P.s. I took the first patch as the basis for this one and tweaked it to be sweeter sounding. I've also managed to get the right mic setting for the amp on channel 2 which adds to the first on channel 1. This is probably why it reminds me of the 80s Brian sound and hence, the patch name. :)


EDIT: Just to say, post 4 highlights what I missed, info-wise.

I just realised that I got some info wrong. It's been a month since I made this patch and I realised earlier, when tweaking that, there is no AC30 type amp on this patch!

So, just to get things straight, I tweaked the Roland custom amp to get a closer sound to Brian's setup on channel 1 (A).

The cosmic ballet, goes on... :)

Woops. I see I created some confusion. The patch is the same one as before, I just got some info about the patch wrong in the notes.  :-\

All fixed now  :)
