Zoom MultiFX Guitar Patch in style of Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water" Ritchie Blackmore left rhythm overdrive guitar.
Absolutely classic vintage drive rhythm tone with much high end and that gritty crunch.
With all the drive, it manages to not be muddy,so it’s a highly usable rock and blues sound.
Audio demo shows the other rhythm tone as well (video soon).
Audio is a direct recorded Strat with Fender Tex-Mex Pickups. Bridge used for the crunchy tone. At the end of video, examples of other pickup positions.
NOTES:
My goal is not to use the exact simulations of effects, amps etc. that the artist would use, but to get closest to the tone (even using the effects in an unusual way).
