Hi all,

After a ton of tweaking, I am excited to share some Workbench HD models for JTV version 2.0/2.1 that sound as close as I could get to the 1.9 and earlier Strat models. The process was:

1) Plug in older firmware JTV
2) Record some riffs with a clean amp sound on the HD500's looper (leaving spaces of silence)
3) Swap to newer-firmware JTV
4) Record the same riffs on the looper into the silent spots
5) Listen without playing to compare (to be more objective)
6) Hit Undo
7) Tweak in Workbench
8 )  Repeat 4-7 until your ears fall off
9) Repeat 1-8 for all five switch positions

There were a lot of interesting tricks I learned while making these: changing string volumes, altering gain per pickup, choosing an unlikely pickup and/or body, changing potentiometer values, and "stacking" identical pickups in series to alter the tone. Some of those are techniques I saw in patches created by the folks on VGuitarForums (especially blueman), but the attached models themselves I made from scratch.

(If you don't see the attachment, remember to log in to the L6 forums.)

Hope it's useful - thanks,

Matt
