DV Mark Multiamp FG-inspired foundation

------------------------ Guitar -> input trim / light compressor -> OD/boost (Crunch/Lead only) -> NAM amp-head capture -> matching FG IR -> chorus / modulation -> short stereo delay -> plate or dark hall reverb Do NOT capture chorus, long delay, or reverb into the NAM amp model. NAM works best for the nonlinear amp/drive portion; ambience remains more controllable after it. INPUT ----- Set interface instrument input so hard picking stays clean. Aim for approximately -12 to -8 dBFS peaks. FG CLEAN -------- Amp type: high-headroom American/neutral clean or very clean boutique model Gain: 2.5/10 Bass: 4.0/10 Mid: 6.2/10 Treble: 5.2/10 Presence: 4.5/10 Master/model level: unity IR: FG_Clean_Wide_Tight_IR.wav Compressor: Ratio 2.5:1 Attack 25 ms Release 100 ms Gain reduction 2-3 dB on peaks Drunken Chorus: Rate L = 0.23 Hz Rate R = 0.31 Hz Depth = 22-28% Pre-delay = 8-12 ms Mix = 16-20% Stereo phase offset = ~90 degrees Optional detune = L -5 cents / R +7 cents Short ambience delay: L 78 ms / R 112 ms Feedback 8-12% Mix 8-11% High cut 5.5-6.5 kHz FG FUSION CRUNCH ---------------- Amp type: hot British / articulate fusion crunch Gain: 4.8/10 Bass: 3.5/10 Mid: 6.8/10 Treble: 5.0/10 Presence: 4.2/10 IR: FG_Fusion_Crunch_Tight_IR.wav Pre-boost: Drive 0.8-1.5/10 Tone 4.5-5.0/10 Level +4 to +6 dB Keep bass reduced before distortion. Post EQ starting points: HPF 75 Hz, 18 dB/oct -1.5 dB @ 250 Hz, Q 0.8 +1.5 dB @ 850 Hz, Q 0.8 +1.8 dB @ 1.45 kHz, Q 0.9 LPF 8.5 kHz, 12 dB/oct FG FLUID LEAD ------------- Amp type: singing high-gain lead with moderate compression and clear pick attack Gain: 5.8-6.4/10 Bass: 3.2/10 Mid: 7.2/10 Treble: 4.7/10 Presence: 3.8-4.2/10 IR: FG_Fluid_Lead_Fat_IR.wav Pre-boost: Drive 0.5-1.0/10 Tone 4.3/10 Level +5 to +7 dB Post EQ: HPF 80 Hz, 18 dB/oct -1.2 dB @ 280 Hz, Q 0.9 +1.8 dB @ 720 Hz, Q 0.8 +2.2 dB @ 1.25 kHz, Q 0.9 +1.0 dB @ 2.2 kHz, Q 1.0 -1.5 dB @ 4.8 kHz, Q 1.2 LPF 8.0 kHz, 12 dB/oct Delay: L 285 ms / R 340 ms Feedback 18-22% Mix 12-16% High cut 5.5 kHz Reverb: Dark plate or hall Decay 1.6-2.2 s Pre-delay 20-30 ms Mix 8-12% High cut 5.5-6.5 kHz OPTIONAL HARMONIZER ------------------- Place after amp + IR and before delay. For diatonic fusion lines: Voice 1: +3rd in key, 12-18% mix Voice 2: optional +6th, 8-12% mix Keep formant/pitch correction natural and tracking fast.
