Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I've had the G1X four for a few days. I'm trying to figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas for playing Bryan Adams' Summer of 69? Thanks everyone
Zoom G1X Four – Summer of '69 For Summer of '69, I'd build the patch around a Marshall-style amp, because the original recording has that classic crunchy rock rhythm tone rather than a Vox-style chime. 1. Compressor M Comp Sustain: 35 Attack: 25 Level: 100 Tone: 55 2. Overdrive TS Drive (Tube Screamer style) Gain: 25 Tone: 50 Level: 80 The TS Drive is used mainly to tighten and push the amp. 3. Amp MS800 (Marshall JCM800 style) Gain: 45 Bass: 50 Mid: 65 Treble: 60 Presence: 55 Level: to taste This is probably the closest starting point for the Bryan Adams rhythm sound. If MS800 feels too aggressive, try: Gain: 40 Mid: 70 4. Cabinet If using a separate cab: MS 4x12 Mic: Dynamic Position: Center or slightly off-center 5. Delay Digital Delay Time: 250 ms Feedback: 15 Mix: 20 The delay should be barely noticeable. 6. Reverb Plate Reverb Decay: 25 Tone: 50 Mix: 15 Signal Chain M Comp → TS Drive → MS800 → Cabinet → Digital Delay → Plate Reverb Good luck. If you have the patch please share it here. John
