H9 Presets
Description
Derya Nagle preset.
Description
This preset makes every note on the guitar sound like the “same tone.” The guitar signal is completely obscured by the ring modulator so regardless of what is played, or where it is played on the fretboard, the result is always the “same tone.” While I achieved the sound I wanted, I have no recollection of how I actually made it and it is not clear why the preset works the way it does. It sounds refreshingly unusual. Enjoy!
Description
At toe you've got no modulation, at heel your delay is drenched in filtered modulation
Description
Expression Pedal Heel: Delay B = 1/2
Expression Pedal Toe: Delay B = 1/32
Unlimited rhythmic variations + octave shifts; thanks to the delay length precedence.
The Flex / Learn switch ... is useless here. Octaves are octaves. Useful w/ other intervals.
EXP PED changes the rhythm texture of the delay pair with every movement.
Delay B determines the feedback loop length, until it drops < Delay A @ 1/8 (taking over).

Use an expression pedal or the HOTSWITCH for an infinite sustain freeze-effect.

Zack at Zvex deserves a lot of credit for developing original effects in a very crowded field. One example is his excellent Seek Wah. This H9 preset is reminiscent of the Seek Wah's seemingly random autowah sound. It works best with my treble pickup. 9/8/2022
Description
Octave jumping choppy sequence.

Here is my version of the Boss SG1 Slow Gear pedal. Like the original, it is limited/touchy. You have to learn to play the effect for it to work correctly. That means you pick harder or softer to find the dynamics sweet spot. Also, play some note of various speeds to find the speed sweet spot. With the exp pedal at heel, the sweet spot will be faster. With the exp pedal at toe, the sweet spot will be slower. I put a completely different Swell sound in the hotswitch just 'cause I could.
Description
Distorted and quick semitone up and down delays.
Description
Created on Space with Blackhole algorithm.
Hotswitch toggles between Inverse gravity 0 (green) and Inverse gravity 74 (orange)
Volume swell in a drone string and then pick strings heavily for a metallic sitar in space
Description
Expression pedal controls delay time.
Description
While Repeat is latched, the parameters can still be manipulated with an expression pedal, so the loops can dynamically evolve. And since a latched Repeat is essentially 100% Feedback, the actual feedback controls can be set somewhat lower. Un-latch Repeat, and the loops can decay at adjustable rates.
Expression Pedal Heel: Delay A = 75 ms.
Expression Pedal Toe: Delay A = 3000 ms.
Delay A = a short slapback flutter echo + quick fade at the default (EXP PED heel).
Delay B = a long loop with a somewhat long decay time. Mirrored notes minus the flutter.
The Repeat switch latches the loops for infinite feedback & loop mangling in Delay A.
Expression pedal speeds / drags the "tape reels" for extreme pitch bends in Delay A.
Latch Repeat [Delay A buffer full] for retro tape speed pitchbending and '50's space FX.
Unlatch Repeat for long loop decays that can still be manipulated with the EXP PED.
Description
Start out with the THRESHOLD control relatively high ... around -6.0 dB. Then carefully adjust the THRESHOLD for your own particular strength of pick / finger attack. Fractional deciBels between -6.0 and 0.0 dB can make a big difference in the output.
This preset starts out with a 'slow gear' effect, with a ramping attack & 1-second RELEASE time. The expression pedal lengthens that envelope decay to 4 seconds. Make adjustments to that 'recovery' time so that you don't step on the next notes played.
The HotSwitch shifts the envelope to fast attack + quick release. Clipped, funky notes (plus a THRESHOLD that worked better for my picking style). Combinations of HotSwitch'ed & expression pedal allow you to create many different envelope shapes on-the-fly.
Description
SlowGear Tremolo does just that: A fast buildup of delay taps that peaks, then trails off into a rapid tremolo. The Speed of the Chop is mapped from 1/16 - 1/4 note for live slowdown effects on the tails. The HotSwitch raises the Taps density from 8 to 64, for more emphasis on the 'swoosh', with a resonant tremolo sustain.
Description
Pat Travers style liquid chorus
