Following on from the Vox Tone Curves discussion above, I have written a library of key Shadows Vox Tones to share and help people out. There are 4 tones in the library and these are explained below. Please note I have tried to approximate amp sounds here and to get closer to recorded sounds you will need an additional EQ pedal or maybe cutting edge etc.
The amp for the tones was taken from the Sneaky Amps Vox Lead sound. This is a crunch tone with low gain.
The tones suit the Boss Katana 100 watt combo with presence controls for which I wrote them.The patches are designed so you can tweak the sound a bit to satisfy your sound quest. They all have Clean Boost added on effect 1, some EQ on effect 2 and Room Reverb with long pre delay on the reverb knob. Feel free to change the three effects knobs to get the sound to your liking as well as the usual amp EQ controls bass treble etc. A slight increase in gain may also change the sound for a bit more grit if desired. Do not alter the EQ on the centre effect knob for the Burns sound as this will cause it to go back to default. If you do just reselect the patch to reinstate EQ sound.
Library Link below and explanation
Library Name - Shadows Vox Tones1. AC30TB Pre Burns. The sound post Blue Star and when AC30TB introduced. Use Clean Boost on effect 1, EQ on effect 2 and reverb on effect 3 knobs as desired. Cutting the EQ causes a mid scoop sound which approximates the AC30TB at these amp tone settings. ie Treble 12 O Clock, bass around 12 or so and mids 12 O Clock. Presence at 60%. Use Clean Boost and reverb to taste. I suggest the EQ needs cutting to about 10% to get this tone right.
2. AC30TB Burns Era. The sound From the Burns guitars era. Use Clean Boost on effect 1, EQ on effect 2 is fixed and reverb on effect 3 knobs as desired. Do not change the EQ which causes a mid scoop sound which approximates the AC30TB at these amp tone settings. ie Treble 2 O Clock, bass on full and mids 12 O Clock. Presence on full. DO NOT CHANGE THE EQ ON THIS PATCH AS THE PARAMETRIC EQ SWITCHES TO DEFAULT AND SETTING LOST. TO REINSTATE RESELECT THE PATCH AGAIN.
3. AC15 early sound eg Apache to Blue Star before AC30TB presented itself. Again the Clean Boost on effect 1, EQ on Effect 2 and room reverb long pre delay effect 3. The bass treble and mids are all off and flat with presence on around 60%. Use clean boost to improve sound and add reverb to suit. The EQ effect knob is flat in middle but you can boost mids or cut if you wish to change sound.
4. AC15 as 3. but with bass treble and mids at 12 O Clock for a different flavour. Personally I go for 3. but I included this for people to try.
Have fun and hope this helps someone out. Play with settings to hearts content to get the sound you want. The panel sound is always available for your own sounds if you have other or better ideas than me.
