: Hi Brent, Do you like to use the Symphonic Patch in the SPX90 and if so how do you like to set the depth and mod. Since you have a similar rack like Michael landau's 80's rack and other session players its fun to hear your thoughts on getting these 80's sounds. Since the other players arent telling thanks for all your insight on this stuff. On another note hearing the big stereo 80's racks, a solo that stands out is by Michael landau on a Michael Bolton track called " How am i suppose to live without you" iam sure you know the tune. Anyway in your mind how would you achieve that solo sound? To me it sounds like pitch change, TSC, delays and verb. Since your a pro, id love to hear your thoughts on getting that solo sound, because that sound has been used on tones of 80's solos , it became like a standard tone and you may have used it also. Very powerful guitar. Thanks for all your help and info! Rockon! Craig Molinelli
hey craig, yes i do like the symphonc patch, and use it occasionally--paramters varying with the range on the guitar which is to me dictated by the range of the vocal--i usually try to get either above or below the vocal, but usually not in the same range. the solo you talk of is indeed vintage landau, and it's very great--to me it sounds like a maple neck strat style guitar with a humbucking bridge position pu, soldano preamp, tsc, spx pitch shift, pcm 70 delays---1/2 note delay on one side, dotted quarter on the other, and the chorus echo patch of a version 2 pcm 70 with the echos turned up--my sense is that the reverb is added in the mix----anyway, it's a great sound, and that's my best guess--thanks, brent.
