GRISSOM

For GRISSOM by Taboo

I built this to emulate David Grissom's tone from his PRS DG30 amp. This is my normal gigging preset (1 of 4) for live shows. It uses "Stomp/Snap" mode (4 stomps on the top row / 4 Snapshots on the bottom row), and has a CLEAN; a EDGE OF BREAKUP; a CRUNCH/DRIVE; and a DISTORTION on the snapshot rows - Right to left. These are achieved with various amp parameters adjusted for the "just right for the song" settings. The stomps are just 4 effects I use in various songs, Phaser, Flanger, Auto Swell, Chorus, in this case. I also have a Wah assigned to EXP1, and Volume block assigned to EXP2. EXP2 also activates a mid boost via an EQ, switches Delays from short to longer/heavier mix/more feedback once you pass 85% of the throw. The volume is also set for 72% at "HEEL DOWN" and 100% at "TOE DOWN", so you can leave it heel-down and have a rhythm volume level, and go to toe-down and have 100% level with all the delay, mid-boost, etc goodness.. once your solo is over, no more "hunting" for the right rhythm level, just go back to toe-down and you're there! The Cab is a stock dual cab, but you could easily insert your favorite IR here. For best results, if you wish to follow my settings, I have Guitar PAD = OFF; 1/4" Input set to: INSTRUMENT level; XLR Out set to "Mic" Level; and I have a -2.0 dB setting on the output block, to keep levels equitable with a mic'd up cabinet, so you're not too hot for the PA. Lastly, I also have a path split-off from the lower signal chain that is set to go to the 1/4" outputs, AND "HELIX VOLUME CONTROL" set to XLR only. This way, what goes to Front of House (PA) via the XLR can not be affected by adjusting the Helix Volume knob.
