Metal Rhythm and Lead Presets

[snouttrout]

I have tweaked until I found some really good metal rhythm and lead sounds.  I am using a PRS 7-string with D'Activator pickups and the DV Mark Standard 4x12 cab in mono mode. Somebody else give these a try and let me know what you think. Note that I adjusted my settings for the band mix, so make sure you turn the master up!

Master 12 o'clock

-------------------------------------------
Rhythm

NSS:
  Thresh: -61.8 dB
  Release: 0.28 sec
  Attack: 0.4 msec

AMP: Recto (US) CH3
  Gain: 10:00 o'clock
  Bass: 10:30 o'clock
  MID: 2:00 o'clock
  High: 10:30 o'clock
  Presence: 12:00 o'clock
  Level: 1 o'clock

This setting doesn't sound really good until you crank the amp. Like I said, put the master on 12 o'clock. It sounds great in the mix.

Lead

NSS:
  Thresh: -61.8 dB
  Release: 0.28 sec
  Attack: 0.4 msec

DIST: Tube 9
  Drive: 0
  Tone: 5
  Level: 5

Amp: Triple 6 CH2 (High Gain)
  Gain: 12 o'clock
  Bass: 12 o'clock
  MID: 5:30 o'clock (maximum)
  High: 11:00 o'clock
  Presence: 10:30 o'clock
  Level: 5:30 o'clock (maximum)

Delay: D-Delay
  Time: 690 ms
  Regen: 31.3%
  Stereo: 0%
  Mix: 21.9 %
  Level: 0.1 db

The delay seems to be a bit too much unless playing with the band, and then it's fine. The Triple 6 CH2 gives a very smooth and mid rich lead sound that I love. These settings cut through the mix wonderfully, and it doesn't sound harsh at all.

What do you think?
