STP in a Patch

For Wicked Garden, Sin, Crackerman and Many others by Steon Temple Pilots

While there are several great patches of Dean DeLeo on Customtone, my goal was to faithfully replicate his actual setup. Dean’s rig starts with a Dunlop Wah ~~>Boss Chorus CE-1 in stereo, with one side routed to an SIB Varidrive~~>AC30 amp equipped with Blue Alnico speakers. The other side of the split signal from the CE-1 chain goes into a Demeter preamp,~~>Rocktron Intelliverb, and finally, VHT power amps in stereo which drives two Marshall 1960a 4x12 cabinets.</p> This Helix patch closely mimics the signal path and with added goodies and replacements as Helix does not have it all and the Preamp models by themselves are eh so I needed to add extras for thickness.</p> Snap 1 – Clean’ish: Chime of a VOX model with the subtle warmth from a Placater model, which adds depth. For Deleo’s light crunch, stomp on the Varidrive.</p> Snap 2 – Ryth I: a DeLeo style crunch that captures every note, blended with the Placater for that distinctive sound he’s renowned for. Stomp on the Varidirve for even more depth and crunch.</p> Snap 3 – Ryth II: Similar to Snap 2 just more growl.</p> Snap 4 – Ryth/Lead: More bite and tad more sustain.</p> I have this patch setup with 4 Snapshots on top and 4 Stomps below.</p> Stomp on Sizzle for Wicked Garden, Sin, Piece of Pie, Dumb Love, Crackerman, Interstate love song, and Plush to name a few.</p> Stomp on Auto Wah for sections of Vasoline and position the Expression pedal near mid way for that nasal riff in Vasoline. And for songs like Silvergun Superman</p> My Guitar setup for this patch: Washburn N24 w/ Bridge Pickup, Bill Lawrence L-500, Neck Pickup Seymour Duncan '59n.</p> NO Aftermarket IR / Firmware 3.71
