"Sandstage" Mesa Boogie Mark IV Tones (Helix Preset)
On Sale
$2.99
$2.99
In this signature Helix LT preset you'll be getting the "Cloned Tone" I created based on my custom Sandstage preset on my Eleven Rack. This tone is one of many I've been using on it for years.
The preset uses the Cali IV Lead amp, modeled from the legendary Mesa Boogie Mark IV* amplifier. Usually, you would pair this with the 4x12 Cali V30 cabinet/speaker emulations, but I chose to use the 4x12 Greenback 25 as a dual-cab, again, to match how my original Eleven Rack preset was setup. I used Dual Cabs, both the 4x12 Greenback 25s, with the only difference being the mics used for each cabinet. One uses a 57 Dynamic and the other uses a 121 Ribbon.
There are also some other great features in this preset, such as an EQ block in the place of a traditional Bright switch, and another EQ block to smooth out the highs and lows. Feel free to tweak to personal taste; by all means, make these tones your own. You can expect some juicy, tight, beefy tones from this beast of a patch!
In this preset pack, you'll get the following snapshots:
Snapshot 1: Sandstage Rhythm
Once you purchase my presets, I can notify you via email whenever significant changes are made as I continue to tweak the ones I use the most. So you'll always have my most up-to-date presets.
