Vintage Rig

(Amp Input + FX Loop)

Programs 20-29 are organized to work as a custom effects rig when used with the MPX R1 MIDI Remote Controller. All of the programs feature vintage wah and analog overdrive in combination with a volume pedal and a modulation effect (UniVybe, OrangePhase, Flanger, Chorus). Tap echo and plate reverbs are also built-in.

These programs are designed to work in the high-gain channel of your guitar amp, set for moderate gain. The Screamer and Wah effects are programmed to have high output levels to increase sustain when they’re pumped into an amp that’s already being pushed pretty hard. If you want to use this rig with a clean amp channel, you may want to decrease the Gain (Screamer) and Effect 2 (Wah) levels a bit.

21 ToeWah/Flng

Alternate between amp input wah and effects loop stereo flanger by pressing the MPX

R1 Toe Switch.

22 ToeWah/Phas

This variation swaps the wah with OrangePhase. Both effects are in front of your amp.

23 ToeWah/Chorus

Chorus effects sound different when they go in front of an overdriven amp. Press the MPX

R1 Toe Switch to hear for yourself.

24 ToeWah/Aero

Swap between the amp input wah and a stereo flange in the effects loop.

25 ToeWah/Uni

While it’s almost impossible to play through these effects and not think of Hendrix, the vintage power trio of Wah, Screamer and UniVybe has become the tonal foundation of many other players. These effects are all in front of your amp — where they belong. Echo and Plate are in the effects loop.
