Vibrato
“for clean sounds”
John asked for a clear, swirly Leslie-type sound with just a little feedback. The result is a very wide
Vibrato with a low speed rate at default knob positions. During the session, John was so inspired by the
sound that he wrote a new riff right on the spot. Recommended settings: Set all knobs to the 12 o’clock
position for the standard TonePrint – and then adjust according to taste.
Chorus 2
“for crunch sounds”
John is famous for using chorus on some of Dream Theater’s crushing crunchy riffs. Originally inspired
by the great Alex Lifeson from Rush, John’s goal was to fatten up the sound without it getting too
processed. To achieve that goal, John used the tri-chorus with some fairly subtle settings to get that
almost-doubled sound.
Flanger 2
“for crunch sounds”
This is John’s twist on a classic aggressive slow flanger. Twist the knobs to create numerous cool
sounds, but try setting the knobs to the 12 o’clock position for that classic flange that works especially
well on crunchy to heavy riffs. Kick this in on you signature rock riffs – and heads will turn.
