EJ meets a Reverb Guitar Pad

This preset is a green modulation reverb with a considerable amount of decay and mix, in order to get a nice guitar pad plus a kind of “Eric Johnson-ish” chorus, not sounding muddy whatsoever.

Some additional considerations:

1st – My main guitar is a Strat. Darker guitars (like most LPs) can ask for some small adjusments, for instance: a little less “low”, more “hi” and — maybe — a compressor before your reverb.

2nd – I like reverb pads, but I usually don’t like shimmer sounds. So, if you’re like me or if you are looking for a more natural pad, you will enjoy this preset. And if you need a thicker pad, just add more decay and/or mix and “voilá”!

3rd – Volume swells work really well with this sound. Add some delay and you’ll be able to find some EJ and Steve Morse clean tones. Trust me.

4th – If you like this sound, however if you want more note “separation” between strings and pad, just add a compressor with some attack on it and you will have a lot of clarity without compromise your pad.

If you try this one, please let me know your thoughts.

Take care,
Victor
