Factory Presets
These are the sound settings that are assigned to each channel A1-B5
when the MIMX is shipped from the factory. With a single click of a but-
ton, you can obtain the MIMX's distinctive combinations of sound and
effects.
A1: Immortal Shred
AMP SELECTION: Psycho
This preset is ideal for the speedy riffs that are typical of the slash metal
or death metal bands in today's music scene. The mid-range is cut to
emphasize the high and low ranges, and a firm and robust sound is
created by raising the bass without excessively reducing the middle.
A2: Shrapnel Heroes
AMP SELECTION: Psycho
This preset can be used for guitar solos in a broad range from hard rock
to heavy metal. The EQ is relatively flat. If you add a fairly fast delay this
preset will give you a nice sound for soloing.
A3: Cruel Heaviness
AMP SELECTION: 90s Brit
This preset is for riffs that emphasize rhythm. It is ideal for low-tempo
songs and the boosted low range will give you a heavy distortion sound
that will pull together the sound of your band. This is ideal for the loud
rock sounds of today's music scene.
A4: Legend of the Beast
AMP STYLE: Hard Rock
This is a solo guitar preset for that classic 80's Metal Sound. This preset
has a sound character that is suggestive of the Golden Age of Metal as
typified by numerous British and LA metal bands.
A5: Emotional Clean
AMP STYLE: 60s Clean
This preset gives you thick lows, a brittle attack, and reverb to create a
warm atmosphere. By using a single-coil pickup you can produce a vin-
tage brilliant sound. By lowering the mix level of the reverb effect you
can emphasize the sense of attack.
B1: Sounds of the Right Hand
AMP SELECTION: Guitar God
This preset is ideal not only for heavy and tight riffs but also leads. The
distortion obtained by raising the GAIN to the maximum and a punchy
mid-range are a good match for humbucking pickups. A flanger is lightly
applied to produce a sense of drive, and delay is added to create spatial
effect.
B2: Purple Tone
AMP SELECTION: Rock
This is a high gain setting that strongly cuts the low range and adds a
distinctive character to the mid-range. By using a single coil pickup, you
can recapture the sound of the mid 70's. As you raise the MIDDLE con-
trol, the sound will take on a classical atmosphere --- adjust to your taste.
To take full advantage of this sound, play the hard rock riffs that were
revolutionary at the time and have now become the origin of today's
heavy rock.
B3: Crystal Clean
AMP SELECTION: Jazz Combo
This preset was designed to produce sparklingly clean and crystal clear
sounds. It is most suited to the hard rock and heavy metal "Power Bal-
lads" of the 80's and 90's. Try playing it using single-coil pickups, either
the center pickup or a combination of the neck/middle pickups. Raise
the effect mix level to get a more lavish sound.
B4: Solo DNA
AMP SELECTION: Rock
This preset was created for you to play those shredding solos made
famous by the guitar gods of the 80's! It's a setting that's great for going
wild with your musicality. Make free use of string bending, dive bombing,
pinch harmonics, sweep arpeggios and express your imagination.
B5: Samurai Edge
AMP SELECTION: 70s Brit
This preset is a good choice for comping or bluesy riffs played with a
single coil pickup. It has just the right amount of distortion to accentuate
the nuances of your picking, and has a nice crisp high end. Adjust the
amount of reverb to your taste.
