*** WORKS ON GENOS, TYROS 5, SX900, S970/975 ***

Hi friends,
I've found a very interesting distortion DSP on my Genos, not good for solo but very powerful for heavy rock / metal crunch chords.
This DSP is called "Jazz Combo Basic", and I want to report a list of settings to configure it to get a very powerful distortion.

1. First select an electric guitar. On Genos I suggest the 60sTexasBlues, on the other arrangers I suggest the CountryPick or also a Jazz Guitar.
2. Go into Voice Edit and change the sound to get it less bright (I have set Cutoff to -34 and Resonance to -64). Set the EQ to flat.
3. Set the Reverb to 4 and chorus from 0 to 22 (the 60sTexasBlues sounds good with chorus to 22).
4. Now go into DSP settings and select the Jazz Combo Basic. Set it with these settings:
- Panning: 5.0
- Volume: 3.3
- Distortion: 10.0
- Bass: 10.0
- Middle: 0.0
- Treble: 3.3
- High Treble: from 5.0 to 10.0
- Output: 49
- Speaker Type: best are BS 4x12, AC 4x10, BC 2x12, AM 4x12
- Mic Position: as you prefer. Some cabinets work good also with "side" setting
- Chorus: Off
- Vib Speed: 0.0
- Depth: 0.0

You can play with the "Treble" setting to change the distortion color, and/or changing the cabinet.
You can also add a second DSP with an EQ in your song channel increasing the 5000 Hz band to add presence.

Hi Francesco,

Could you post a recording of the sound (not necessarily a song) for us to hear?

Thanks,

Excellent work, Francesco! There's no comparison between the before and after sounds. You've nailed it!
"Learn" your music correctly, then "practice" it. Don't practice mistakes because you'll learn them.
