18 Clean Blackface Tones (Final Revision? 9-1-24)

These SIMPLE insert mode programs use a blackface tonestack approximation instead of an amp sim.

(9-1-24) This is a retooled version of my now-deleted “36 Clean and Dirty Blackface Tones” with an improved tonestack, various tweaks, and two new programs.

While you can substitute in an amp sim or some such, I just plug my guitar and headphones (or stereo) into my H90 and play. Also, a fistful of these programs could get you by as an H90-only backup rig in a pinch. Further, you could always bypass the EQ to use these programs with a regular guitar amp.

I made this list as simple as possible. Basically, every program has a clean tonestack and either delay or reverb. They are generally ordered from effect-sparse to effect-dense with two sounds per program/algorithm (no HS or HS1). The most important controls are assigned to the six Quick Knobs on the face of the H90. Developer notes describe each program. No aux switches are used.

The programs were created using the middle toggle position of a Les Paul but I prefer using a bass pick up for the Leslie preset in SPACEY TIMES.

This list is derivative of my own master list and grateful attribution to others is also provided where possible. And, many thanks to the geniuses at Eventide.
