    new metallica that isn't noisy heavy as hell (damn close to the hetfield god tone)   off dt 30 9 5-6 0ff 0ff 25 you can crank this up pretty high and it still sounds good.it is heavy enough said.
    Dimebags Patch PanterA (enough said)   c4 dt 30 4 48-50 off off 25-30 Leave the level low like 25 so when u crank the amp up it has the crunch on the palm mutes dimebag uses
    Low-end bite! For low end (tuned down to B, dropped-A etc).   C1 Mt 30 9 46 - r2 27 This sounds killer for new Fear Factory stuff, and Korn as well.Scoop mids on amp!
    Dream theater Pull me under intro   L9 of -- 6 p9 c3 r9 23 Email comments to amul@student.monash.edu.auDREAM THEATER RULE DAMN IT !
    Junkie XL Junkie XL-sound   F1 Fu 17 4 P1 c8 r5 29 Mjah enzo
    Risolo Great for Visceral solos   C5 LD 28 A8 28 C3 D7 23 No lo dejarás
    Beginning of Teen Spirit and Song 2 Beginning of Teen Spirit and Song 2   P9 off - - A9 50 off H1 any Dont use the expression pedal just put it on P1
    led zep led zeppelin   c9 ld 16 5 25 c1 h3 30 i use it to play whole lotta love, good time bad times... i use a marshall valvestate 80 (setting bass : 50%, middle : 25 % treble 25%) and a jackson ps2 performer guitar
    INCUBUS DISTORTION (GENERAL) USED IN SONGS LIKE NEW SKIN AND VITAMIN. A MUST FOR INCUBUS FANS.   L6 MT 19 1 off P7 R6 29 Incucbus uses BOSS and DOD for their efects and Ibanez guitars. I use Ibanez guitars and Fender M-80 head w/ a Peavey 410 cabinet and it sounds pretty close to their sound.
    Crazy Train Crazy Train   c5 dist 25 9 43 off h2 30 For the solo to crazy train use this patch but change the MOD setting to P7
    David Gilmore Solo A great David Gilmore solo effect   C4 bL 27 6 36-38 C1 d7 27-30 This setting is great for use in thesolo on track two from Darkside of theMoon, "Time." It really lets your highbends shred. Use bride pickup.
    Hard Edge Blues A bluesy patch with some bite.   of bl 29 9 19 C1 H1 22 This is my own, I use it for hard driving blues like Crossroad, etc... "Tom Mack"
    heavy dist a very cool dist   c1 dt 25 a9 40 c5 h5 27 it is very cool.Its my best tone.i use it with jackson j-dr.
    Boosted Tube Screamer Brian May   C9 Od 15 A9 33 of R4 21 This is basically the Tube Screamer patch with the eq turned up to give it more of a bright boosted sound like Brian May. You can get a clean counterpart by dropping the gain down to 1, boost the gain to 25 for solos. The pitch shifter could be used to replicate May's layered effect, and a seperate delay petal is optimal.
    Screamn' Bloody Blues Dirty Gritty Blues   L1 Fu 14 A3 11 off R3 28 I always follow my ZOOM 505 with a BOSS Graphic EQ pedal. Sounds incredible, lower the mids (since a guitar is a midrange instrucment), and raise lows and highs
    Cool assed blues lead Curt Smythe   c3 ry 23 a9 3 p1 - - 25 cool shit
    best metal harsh gainy sound be careful with amps with lots of gain   c4 nt 30 a1 50 f1 none 27 got a good metal rythm sound but for a good lead a a distortion pedal before the zoom in your effects chainturn the gain (distortion) 3/4 of the way up and turn the output to half
    crank dire straits   L9 OD 5 off 24 off H2 27 try and enjoy
    Lithium Blues distorted blues   L1 BL 10 6 30 of r9 30 I use this to play a lot of nirvana and my own music.
    Talking Guitar half-assed immitation of P.Frampton's talking guitar sound   A9 off   off P6 off off 26 Don't expect a miracle, but if you play random licks in the G major scale, you can get a Frampton-like sound.
    Pink Floyd a simple patch that sounds good for most floyd songs   oF rY 16 7 oF oF H4 26 this patch gives a similar, but distinct tone through each pickup combination. it works well with my amp's own distortion, and good tones of both syd and early dave can be attained by changing pickups or swithcing to the dirty channel. i have no problem using it for ANY floyd song. hopefully it eill work as well with your setup as it does mine. MY SETUP: (Epi LP Standard, Fender Princeton 112 plus)
    Valve crunch Nice rythm guitar crunch... reminds me of AC/DC   C1 dt 4 A2       27 This is the closest i got to a valve amp distortion... as you can see it's a simple patch but it does wonders with rythmic guitar, specially with single coils. Give it a shot.
    Black sabbaths DEHUMANIZER Album DIst                     Cant someone put a patch here thatsounds like black sabbath on the dehumanizer album?
    R.A.T.M patch great with most rage songs   of bL 25 9 P3 P1 H1 30 this patch is great with most rage songs
