I was put up to do this patch in the request sub-board but I figured I'd work on it a bit and upload it here.

Basically CTL-1 and 2 enable chorus and master delay.   I set the delay up like a Scholz Chorus/Delay which is 300ms analog delay.

Below we have the patch, an MP3 of the sound with just master delay on and the other with chorus and delay.

The just delay is my strat using middle and bridge pickups, the one with chorus is my Schecter C-1 SLS Elite on the bridge pickup in
the more gainy setting of the pickup.

As I also suggested in the previous post if someone wants to try and mod this go right ahead.  I didn't try to go after the original album sound of a maxed out Marshall but rather Scholz' rackmounted rockmodules.

Don't want to discourage you aliensporebomb, but those mp3's sound dreadful. I tried turning down my PC amp/speakers etc and no joy. If you are playing over the Boston track, increase the 1:1 ratio to 4:1, and let's hear your Boston tones. No offence.

The original track was a horrible low resolution quality thing I found on youtube of the original backing track.  I'll see if I can find a better backing track otherwise my guitar swamps everything.
Stand by.

I found a cleaner version but you might find the guitar is not as loud as you want - it's louder though and higher res.

Just know it's the original track the band produced but the only guitar you hear is mine.

MP3 is not 320 kbps but high enough.

Thanks for uploading the new version. Your guitar still doesn't sound loud enough - perhaps you could pan the original left and guitar right? A 128k mp3 is generally enough an has a 15kHz brickwall cutoff.
If you can't do left/right, mix you guitar 20dB louder than the track.
Sorry to be a pain, but would like to hear your patch.

I can hear it fine on my end on studio monitors. A little dark / muffled sounding but I can hear the guitar fine.

Yeah if it were any louder you wouldn't hear the backing.  The point is to hear it in the context of the backing.  And the patch is panned left right in the stereo field which is how it is set up in the patch.  Stand by though.   Here it is with no backing.   I owned a Scholz Sustainor/Chorus Delay for years and I used it with a Roland JC-120 and it worked great.  There's things about this patch that ring true to me as far as the sound goes.  The weird way the high end frequencies are subtly attenuated and the analog delay.   Anyway, enjoy.

Thanks for posting the guitar track. The tone is pretty close but too wet with delay and reverb. Did you re-amp that with recorded separate strings?

Nope. That's just the SY-1000 direct into the board.  Stereo left/right.  In the patch, CTL-1 and CTL-2 enable/disable the chorus and delay.   Turning off chorus and delay just gives you the guitar alone using the volume knob for overdrive and pulling back for semi-clean as on the Scholz Sustainor unit.  There may be a slight reverb on the sound with CTL-1/2 off.

Last commentary on this, I found my earlier demo with just the delay so you can hear it without the chorus.
