Title: ITPOE PT 1 Amp Settings
Post by: JRT on June 10, 2009, 01:20:14 PM

Need it tommorow, trying one tomorrow.

Is there a certain distortion or is he using the amp's?

Well, I agree with brakkum on this, however:

You can see all the pedals he has, as well as the amp settings at the bottom. I don't what he specifically used on ITPOE, but this should get you somewhere.

Really. I have one specific tone that I use for absolutely EVERYTHING. (Well, one clean, and one distortion.) But one thing I've found to be very similar to JP's tone is adding just a touch of delay to the sound. It really makes your sound much fuller, especially when you're playing solo.

But yeah, using one tone for everything makes it seem a lot less like emulation (which can be good and not so good) and makes it more original.
