Kim's Patches

[Kim]

First, my main Rhythm/Lead patch:

Room EQ  always at 0%  (Full) 

MESA RECTO GASM
Voice  7 Warm Hi Gain
Drive 85
OD 70
Master 79

Lo  +10
Mid  -2   
Hi  0
Pres  +4

100Hz  +10
170  +2
280  0
470  +6
800  -2
1.3  0
2.2  0
3.8  +4
6.3  0

Comp, Wah, Chorus, Trem, all Out.  Gate as needed.
MT200 poweramp's Presence always at about 10:00 position.

Doesn't sound as "woofy" and loose as these settings might imply, rather it has a very solid fump for me.

The MESA RECT CHRS patch is the exact same settings as above, but with Chorus In:  Depth 85%  and Rate 0.2

Mmm it's worth checking out.

Hey Kim, so this is to augment your B tuning ? I'll run it up later and check it out.

[tomy]

hi Kim, thanks for sharing !

Do you have any mods on your MP2(MDRT... or else ) ?

[Kim]

Yes, Standard B tuning and no MP-2 mods that I'm aware of.

[Systematic Chaos]

Your MP2 has the noise mod done ;))

CRUNCHOLA

I think this was a pre-installed setting and I didn't need to change it much.  Anyway, I like it for the contrast against my main patch.

Rate 0.3

Comp, Wah, Trem, all Out.  Gate as needed.

As the title says, it's Dirty and has Chorus.  ;)

I use an entire Bank on my pedalboard but just for these preamp patches I've listed.  The rest is all about the fx unit after the MP-2;  just different combos of fx with these preamp patches.

  Thanks for that info!  LOVE this preamp.

Say Kim,what ever happend to that mp-1/B200s head you made back in the days?

I liked that head, that was pretty cool.

Update:  This setting "does" seem a bit extreme at home on the QuadTube.  (EDIT: I just changed the Mid from -6 to -2) I believe there must be other factors involved that make this setting work for me at band rehearsal.  Speaker selection and a higher volume seem to help these settings settle in.  I'm sure the speakers do their thing with their respective freq responses and attenuations that occur when pushed a bit.  The lower volume I use at home (along with the different speakers in the QuadTube than what I have in the Rig of Fire cabs) indicate that I'll need to re-evaluate the home settings a bit.  I'd like to record (as close as I'm able) the tone I have in the live setting though.

Hey Kim, both of your recto patches sound killer on my rig! Even with my presence on the MT200 at 10 o'clock.

Cool!  8)  I also had recently raised the Presence on my MT200 to about that same level.

Hey Kim, just ran up the 3 patches and gave them a whirl with the squire strat upgrade, 3 very different patches, so clean fingers very nice (nice usable sound!), but very soft compared with crunchola, that ones got some edge  >:D and dirty chorus was quite sweet... (well I assume you know what I mean by that..)

[Kim]

....clean fingers very nice (nice usable sound!), but very soft compared with crunchola, that ones got some edge

I suppose I could even them out a bit in the preamp, but for now I just have the fx unit do the overall volume adjusts.

Here's a few interesting patches that the previous owner set up on my Quad Tube; should transfer to the MP-2 as well:

280  +2
470  0
