Hi Alessandro, Thanks for this tip for Brian sound. I modified it for my taste and to make it little heavier. I use a metal muff with zero distortion at the input. Unfortunately there is only 5 pedal place available in the G1X4.
Thanks to both you and Alessandro for developing the patch. Heavily distorted but in a clean, articulate way, epic harmonics and bright, warm notes. Definitely reminiscent of Brian May's rig and settings on We Will Rock You/We are the champions medley. And when I switch to the bridge pickup and roll the treble all the way down on the tone knob I'll be damned if it doesn't sound like Tommy Iommi's rig from early 70s era Sabbath. Great patch, thanks again to Alessandro and Zsolt.
