Zoom MultiFX Guitar Patch in style of Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water" Ritchie Blackmore solo & right rhythm distortion guitar.
This is the 2nd rhythm & solo Tone – the one on the right audio channel. It carries the iconic hard rock riff with a very growling, full-bodied fuzzy distortion. For solo add delay or more PreD.
Audio shows first both rhythm tones (I have patch of 1st too). Later all pickup positions and a solo bit.
Audio is a direct recorded Strat with Fender Tex-Mex Pickups. Sounds best with Neck pickup. Demo of others also in video.
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).
