The goal of this “all-in-one” preset is to replicate my analog pedalboard and some of my go-to wet effects as close as I could. I captured my AC30 and Prosonic amps to be the anchor for my tone and then captured each of the drives on my main board to give you access to nearly the exact same tones I use every day. I also included a handful of my other drive captures as a bonus!

“HUMBUCKER” PRESET
As of right now, the preset that’s available is designed around my Duesenberg Starplayer TV with stock pickups—a Grand Vintage Humbucker in the bridge and a Domino P90 in the neck. Though this preset can work with single coils, its primary design is for humbuckers. However, the amps can be tweaked to accommodate single coils as I demonstrate in some of my QC song specific demos on YouTube. Also, I’ll be working on a single coil specific preset soon which I’ll include as a free update!

PRESETS INLCUDED
TS RIG – ACPRO HB V1
This is my main preset designed to be used as a “toolbox” that contains most drives and effects needed to program a song-specific preset. I copy/paste this preset when designing song-specific presets and make tweaks to the scenes based on what the song needs.
You can certainly also use this preset on its own and use the various scenes I provided to cover your bases for an entire setlist.
TS RIG – DRIVES V1
A preset only designed to deliver and preview the extra drive captures I included. I did not intend for this preset to be used live.
