Heavier take on the VH sound using a free Marshall Plexi SM57 IR and 5150 amp sim. Download IR here: http://1drv.ms/1XAyQjn The "Unchained" footswitch is a press-and-hold for the flanger effect of the main riff. Kick on the Phase 90 for that classic VH sound. Turn down the bass and gain to get closer to the "classic" sound. Turning up the reverb decay and mix also helps. Example: https://soundcloud.com/enzo386/unchained-tone/s-Rp5dx

This was dialed in using my Equator D5 monitors. I used a strat style guitar with a SD JB59 in the bridge. The IRs used were from the Celestion IRs that were recently released. Specifically: Celestion G12M Creamback 412 R121 Balanced and the Celestion G12H Creamback 112 SM57Balanced. The flanger is a momentary switch so it's only on when you step on it (for accents). I'm no VH aficianado, but it's a fun patch for when I want to goof around with That Sound. Hope you like it.
