Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted I know. I've been real busy making videos and playing & things like that. Anyway, I have a new Patch Download Area web page. If you look to the right panel under links you will see it. It not only has my best individual patches from all my Youtube vids but also my entire bundle from my GT-10, X3-Live & XT-Live. I even did some audio samples so you can hear what each patch sounds like before you download it. There are detailed instructions on importing the patches into your Boss or Line6 units. I just put the page up so if any of you have any problems with it please let me know so i can sort them out.
Just a note to thank you for buying my CD's and iTunes downloads. I really appreciate it!! I am now offering single song MP3 downloads because I know lots of people don't have an iTunes account. Including Me!! LOL... So, if you find my tones and videos useful please consider checking out my original music as well and maybe purchasing a song or two to help keep things going.
Then any delay (for example) is then going to get distorted by the preamp in your amp. Maybe that's the sound you want, but generally you want delayed distortion, not distorted delay.
So, the 4CMmethod is:
Cable 1: Guitar output > Boss or Line6 device Input Cable 2: Boss or Line6 device effect loop send > amp input Cable 3: Amp effect loop send > Boss or Line6 device effect loop return Cable 4: Boss or Line6 device output > amp effect loop return
This gives you a proper signal path:
Guitar > Boss or Line6 device > amp preamp > Boss or Line6 device > amp power amp
The send receive in your Boss or Line6 device effects path should be AFTER your comp/distortion/amp sims and BEFORE your chorous/delay/reverb effects.
Note that you can still put external pedals in the right places - i.e. real wah pedal before the Boss or Line6 device input or a distortion stomp box before the amp input and other effects processors in the loop before/after the Boss or Line6 device.
