Dr Mike's Patch
Ok. I couldn't resist it. I like this patch so much I named it after mysef. This is my main patch. I use it for most everything I do. I have versions with slight variations but the main tone and settings are the same.
I'm using a Gibson with humbuckers set to the bridge position. The pickup simulator is set to 'humbucker -> single coil'. If you're playing a Strat or single coil pickups I suggest turning off the pickup simulator but stay in the bridge position or this patch will be too thin.
It's very responsive. The clean channel is really great. Play lightly and it's really clean. Pick harder and you get a nice light crunchy sound.
Please let me know if this works.
Comments or Questions ?

I got your patches to work. For all you pc users you need Xedit 1.3.
I will give this and the Eric Johnson a try latter today!
I'm really interested to see what you think. Let me know what rig you're using too.
Tried this out last night and I love it! I don't get the Eric Johnson out of it like you do. I guess that has something to do with my playing skills! Interestingly enough, I started playing some bluesy SRV stuff while fiddling with the patch and it sounded amazing. I noticed in the parameters you created a custom SVR sim. Love the patch, keep on posting! 8)
Yes, this started out as my SRV patch for bluesy stuff. I like the tone so much that it's the base for most of my bluesy patches. I used my Satriani patch (with some very minor changes - lowered the overdrive/distortion a bit) in combination with my SRV patch for this one. This is basicaly my sound. I play around with the effect settings for other songs but don't do much to the base amp settings.
To get Erick's tone you have to play around with your pickup selector and pick tone controls. He's a trip... Switching pickup settings and stomping around on his pedals. I'm still trying to coordinate all that... I'm getting closer but still not there...
Depending on your guitar try playing in the bridge position for the opening of Trademark. Then switch to middle position with the tone on the neck pickup turned down and step on pedal A. Oh heck it's compicated... Try these as a start. This patch actually has three different tones clean/distorted/overdrive (Amp B + Stompbox).
Check out the parameters for Pedal A !

good luck
Been listening to David Gilmour a lot lately. Been watching a lot of his old videos and ran across a new article in a guitar mag on him. Lot's of interesting stuff he did to develop his guitar tone. Been giving me some ideas.
I'm still loking for a patch that sounds like Slash's guitar tone in that recent VW comercial. Anybody got one ?
You have to BUY a VW for that sound...it's all in the car ya know *rofl*
Anybody got an idea on this one ? I'm not quite ready to give up.
I would but my GNX3K isn't available at the moment, it will be soon though, i will tell you when i have posted a sound clip.
...to both of the last two posts !

I agree with you there iliace. I do appreciate it also Dr. Mike when you give a full description about the patches's uses such as \"Should be played in stompbox mode etc.
Thanks again Dr. Mike and for all who contribute.
