THANKS IAN for getting these up so fast!
Rush
2112- As preformed on All The Worlds A Stage (ATWAS)
I.
Overture II. The Temples of Syrinx
III. Presentation
IV. Soliloquy
V. Grand Finale Performance Notes:
All Presets were designed to be played with Speaker Sim OFF through a Marshall 9200 Power Amp with a 4x12 Cab Loaded with Celestion GT 12-75’s. IMO this sounds good with the Speaker Sim On through the PA as well. Guitar used was Yamaha Ty Tabor Signature (RGX-TT) with a Duncan Jeff Beck in the Bridge and Vintage Rails in the Mid and Neck Positions.
There is no Phaser in the VL3. Phaser is an essential part of Alex’s tone. I did the best I could with what I had. Wah should be set to SMART WAH
Preset #1- Overture/ Temples of Syrinx Steps: None
The Hit Button engages the Delay for the intro
The Drive button is the boost for the solo
The clean tone at the end Is achieved by rolling back the volume knob on the guitar.
