    Patch comments:

    We read (and hear) that Bartolini BH2 pickups are darker and, without a bright end. I bought an Ibanez SRMS625EX-BKF (with those PickUps) and confirmed some of that.

    The trick is to reduce the low-mid frequencies (between 180-300Hz) with the 3-Way Mid Frequency switch = 250Hz + Mid knob = 0.

    "Active EQ" = ON
    "3-Way Mid Frequency" = 250Hz
    "Bass" = 50
    "Mid" = 0
    "Treble" = 50
    "Balance" = 50
    "Volume" = 50

    Plus, with our wonderful Zoom B1/B1X Four, we can bring more clarity, and even get more flexibility with some other effects:

    Effect: "DYN Comp" (Dynamics), active - "yes"
    "Sense" = 6
    "Attack" = Fast
    "Tone" = 25
    "Volume" = 20
    Effect: "RCBoost" (Overdrive / Distortion), active - "yes"
    "Gain" = 85
    "Bass" = 15
    "Treble" =
    50
    "Volume" = 85

    Effect: "Dark Pre" (Overdrive / Distortion), active - "yes"
    "Bass" = 35
    "L-MID" = 35
    "H-MID" = 50
    "Treble" = 50
    "Blend" = 50
    "Gain" = 15 (set to 60 for a very nice Metal sound)
    "VOL" = 50
    "Boost" = OFF (LO)

    Effect: "ZNR" (Dynamics), active - "yes"
    "Detect" = GTRIN
    "Depth" = 100
    "Threshold" = 35
    "Decay" = 0

    Effect: "AMPG SVT" (Amp simulator), active - "yes"
    "Bass" = 0.0
    "MID-F" = 220Hz
    "Middle" = -15.0
    "Treble" = 0.0
    "Gain" = 30
    "Ultra" = BOTH
    "Volume" = 75

    Patch Volume: 100
    DSP Load: 73%
