Brian May Patch -H90

[Securb]

There was a Brian May-like patch that sounded like his guitar on the Flash soundtrack that I cannot find on the H90. I remember using it on the H9. If anyone remembers the name, I would appreciate it.

Also, if you know of any other Brian May-like patches I should check out I would appreciate the help.

I don’t know what everyone’s tried or heard before in Diatonic.  Of course it’s important to select the matching Key & Scale, and the harmonies desired in Pitch A & Pitch B.  Stick to single-note lines and simpler double-stops.  But it’s equally important to simulate the multiple guitar overdubs.

Add up to several dozen milliseconds of delay time, with Delay A offset in time from Delay B (and also from your dry guitar).  Balance between the harmony voices with Pitch Mix.  Use an EXP pedal to slightly vary Pitch Mix to either side of center at A10+B10.  That will a little greater emphasis on one or the other ‘overdubbed’ voice.

Here’s a quick example I tossed together that may give you a head start.  Quant is OFF in Diatonic, for more forgiving string bends & wider vibrato.  The Weedwacker instance in Series is optional.  I just used it to push the midrange, and add some hair to the output.

After a little more thought & refinement … I attached a Program here to get you started.

• The three HotKnobs adjust the effect mixes, delay times and distortion components.
• EXP pedals vary the Pitch Mix in a subtle way, or add Feedback to the delay lines.
• AUX or HotSwitches change up harmony intervals, for 3 variations on the base Program set.

I like the idea of using momentary switches to do hammer-ons & pull-offs, much like a Digitech Impossible or HammerOn pedal can do.  They’re easily accessible, and help to break up the static nature of the ‘overdubbed’ guitar voices.

A bit of pre-H90 overdrive doesn’t hurt the emulation.

Cool to see this thread pop up. I found the patch and used it on our album last year. It is at around 1:58 on this track
