Presets
Description
This is one in a series of four compressor/boost/EQ presets designed to overdrive the next element in the signal chain (an amp or a pedal). They are all numbered and similarly named. I am using these presets to overdrive a Kingsley Page to sound like a tube-driven TS808, KLON, VOX TOPBOOST etc. The Hotswitch adds 9dB of boost and an expression pedal adds 9dB of boost and compression. Your choice. Naturally, these can be adjusted to taste. 9/7/2022

If I had to gig (rock, blues, pop, country, jazz, etc.) with one H9, an expression pedal and a hotswitch, I'd use a few presets from a set of ten presets I've made for this minimalist purpose. All are posted and begin with a number and the letters BST (for boost). So presets 1BST..., 2BST..., 3BST... to 10BST... provides at least reverb and/or delay and a boost to comp and solo without changing presets. They may also provide selectable overdrive and/or distortion, or chorus. I'd use one preset for the full length of a song and use an exp pedal and/or hotswitch to do things like add distortion and/or a boost for a solo. Since I'm not changing presets there is no glitch or dead air during any of these changes. Adjust to taste. I have also posted a BONUS 11th preset called 122RV HSBOOST for a Leslie that works the same way. 9/2/2022

Here is a fuzz with some octave and fifth action going on with both the expression pedal and the hotswitch. Play around. Have some fun. 9/7/2022

Everybody thinks it's fun to play a song like Jessica (Allman Brothers) with their H9 playing the Maj 3rd harmony along with them ... that is until the bridge changes modes. Then it's a train wreck. This preset and an expression allows the H9 to play through the bridge with you in A dorian and then back again. Naturally, this trick can also be used if a song merely modulates into different key or changes from ionian to mixolydian (and back), etc. But you can only make one change per song. But if you run midi, you can use that to change keys, harmonies, modes, etc. to your heart's content. 9/8/2022

This H9 preset was inspired by Jimi Hendrix's And The Gods Made Love from his Electric Ladyland album. You "play" it with an expression pedal, the hotknob, or your guitar but it is intended to be inherently unstable regardless of what you do. The only way to stop it or fade it out is to deactivate the preset with the left footswitch or turn the volume all the way down by holding the left footswitch and then turning the volume all the way down with the hotknob. 8/30/2022

I once traveled to far off lands to find the best Binson Echorec H9 presets in the world. I'm posting three of these presets with a total of seven beautifully cacophonous delays. Use an expression pedal and the hotswitch to get at them. Most, if not all of these seven, were originally created by Brock (it's tough to recall which ones) and I just tweaked them a bit (as should you). Thanks to Brock for his endless generosity. 9/7/2022

This is a typical mid-scooped tonestack setting for a BF Fender amp. I'm using this in one H9 and a spring reverb preset (SPRING HSTREM - also posted here) in another H9 as a silent practice rig. I plug a pair of headphones into the right and left outs of the second H9 and boost the output level in SPRING HSTREM to about 12 to 17dB (to taste). Light a cigar. Pour some scotch. And play into the wee smalls of the morning. 9/7/2022

Here is a fuzz preset on the heavier side of things. Activating the hotswitch will boost the output level enough for a lead. 9/7/2022
