Patch Features
- Capture the tones of five awesome hard-rockin 80s bands:
- Def Leppard (Hysteria era)
- RATT (Out Of The Cellar era)
- Mötley Crüe (Girls, Girls, Girls era)
- Poison (Look What The Cat Dragged In era)
- Skid Row (Skid Row era)
- Every band is represented by two presets
- An IR-based preset uses my custom IRs (included in this pack) and are very accurate to the studio sounds (and easily swapped out for your favorite IRs if you prefer)
- A stock cab-based preset is not as accurate to the album but may be more useful in a live or band jam situation
- Helix Snapshots enabled with at least five snapshots per preset
- Clean - a clean tone that is period-accurate to the band
- Dirty - is the core Hetfield rhythm tone for each album
- Lead - will give you a boost in volume and let you shred away (wah pedal available)
- Album - has a much wider stereo spread
- Dirty-MONO - is useful for people without a stereo setup
- Includes instructions for where to install the ten custom IR files
- Includes two older bonus presets which were previously only available exclusively at my own site:
- Poison - Nothin But A Good Time
- Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heard
These patches dialed in with:
- Various guitars
- Event 20/20 studio monitors
- Helix Floor, LT, Rack, and Native compatible
