[. . . ] Among others, Steve Lukather, Nuno Bettencourt and Steve Vai have all popularized the Soldano sound. If you're playing a Gibson Les Paul, MODERN HI GAIN sounds best when you turn down the volume control on the guitar a little. BLACK TWIN: This simulation was modeled on a Fender Blackface Twin from 1965. In the '60s this amp was used by jazz, country and even rock guitarists. What was unique about it was that it was exceptionally loud and was therefore mainly used for live performances. The secret of the Blackface Twin was that although you could play it extremely loud, the distortion remained relatively low. ULTIMATE GAIN: From clean to brutal hi-gain, this "brute" covers the entire range. TWEED COMBO: This was Jeff Beck's favorite when he recorded the albums Blow by Blow and Wired. This amp was not actually designed for heavy distortion, but owing to its low power, it is ideal for uncompromising overdrive sound. Originally designed as a bass amp, it soon became a standard amp of blues legends such as Steve Ray Vaughan or Billy Gibbons due to its characteristic distortion. As you would expect, it packs a solid punch in the bass range, but is still flexible enough in the mid and treble ranges. SCREAMER: Having been around since the beginning of the '80s, the Ibanez Tube Screamer TS808 has pretty much achieved cult status. It has the reputation of being the ultimate classical overdrive/treble booster floor pedal, and is associated with mighty lead sounds, even though it offers rather modest distortion. Its secret is that it "knows" better than other floor pedals how to squeeze the very last bit out of the amp to which it is connected. EL RATON: The Rat from ProCo was also a distortion pedal similar to the tube screamer, and it also came around about the same time, but its basic sound and applications couldn't be more different. As the name suggests, the Rat is all about aggressive distortion from the pedal itself, and the TS808 is more about unobtrusive overdrive in the amp further down the chain. With the rat simulation, you have the metal sound of the early '80s totally covered. 4. 2 Restoring the factory presets You can restore the factory presets of your V-AMPIRE at any time. When switching on the unit, hold down the DELAY and MODUL buttons for more than 2 seconds. This will restore all factory presets ("CL" flashes on the display). 5. AMP/SPEAKER SIMULATION The very heart of your V-AMPIRE is its amp/speaker simulation. The V-AMPIRE makes it a breeze for you to select one of the legendary guitar amps, be it for Brit pop, blues, heavy metal or whatever. In addition, you can tailor the sound of the respective amp to suit your ideas.
