of

(e.g.,
the
amp
you
use,
or
adding
effects
in
the
studio)
The
guitar
construction
imparts
a
characteristic
tone
by
altering
the
vibrating
string's
frequency
response.
It's
possible
to
re
‐
create
this
characteristic
frequency
curve
by
using
very
precise
equalizer
circuits;
Les
Paul
Standard
2010
Limited
does
this
primarily
by
using
two
4
‐
band
parametric
equalizers
to
mold
the
frequency
response.
(The
reason
for
using
analog
technology
is
that
digital
processing
requires
converting
analog
signals
into
digital
streams,
and
then
converting
back
to
analog.
This
introduces
a
delay
that
players
often
find
disconcerting.)
The
placement
of
the
pick
up
coils
and
their
construction
allows
Les
Paul
Standard
2010
Limited
to
reproduce
phase
and
other
tone
modifying
affects.
Finally,
remember
that
the
classic
Chameleon
sounds
require
that
no
Piezo
sound
is
blended
in,
and
the
tone
controls
should
be
up
full.
But
with
so
many
options
available
to
change
tone
in
addition
to
the
Chameleon
Tones,
it's
possible
to
stray
from
the
original,
classic
sounds.
This
makes
it
easy
to
create
useful
variations
on
these
classic
sounds
for
even
more
tonal
possibilities,
but
if
Les
Paul
Standard
2010
Limited
doesn't
sound
quite
like
the
guitar
you're
trying
to
emulate,
make
sure
you
have
the
pickup
switch,
Piezo
blend,
and
tone
controls
set
properly.
Also,
remember
that
any
post
processing
you
use
(i.e.,
anything
the
modifies
the
tone
after
the
signal
leaves
the
guitar,
like
your
amplifier)
impacts
the
sound.
Some
“classic”
guitar
sounds
result
from
combining
the
guitar
sound
with
a
particular
amplifier
—for
example,
a
Les
Paul
going
through
a
British
stack
will
sound
very
different
compared
to
going
through
an
American
combo
amp.
The
bottom
line
is
that
each
Chameleon
Tone
setting
is
very
different,
and
factors
other
than
the
guitar
itself
can
change
these
sounds
even
further.

Presets
The
Yellow
Bank
consists
of
several
different
elements.
●
The
Yellow
Bank
contains
eight
User
Banks.
You
select
a
particular
User
Bank
in
the
Red
(Function)
Bank
(Section
5.9).
●
Each
User
Bank
can
hold
11
presets,
so
given
that
there
are
eight
User
Banks,
the
Yellow
Bank
can
hold
a
total
of
88
presets.
●
You
can
combine
a
custom
sound
and
tuning
within
a
single
preset.
The
Gibson
Chameleon
Editor
makes
it
easy
to
create,
store,
back
up,
and
share
custom
presets
for
the
Yellow
Bank
(as
well
as
the
Blue
and
Green
Banks).
If
you
don't
have
access
to
a
computer,
it
is
possible
to
create
presets
for
the
Yellow
Bank
(see
Section
5.4)
but
the
process
is
more
tedious,
and
doesn't
allow
access
to
several
useful
functions.
Conceptually,
many
Les
Paul
Standard
2010
Limited
owners
treat
the
Yellow
Bank
as
a
“playlist”
of
presets
for
live
performance.
For
example,
the
first
Yellow
Bank
might
contain
presets
for
the
first
and
