GR3 Preset : Santana and Satriani

Hey all!

I'll receive my GR3 Kontrol edition tomorrow and just wanted to ask you guys if there is any chance to get presets which could give me sounds like :
- Satriani in "The forgotten part 2"
- Santana in "Europa" (in fact there is 2 types of sound in this one).

That will help me to have fun with the software just 5 minutes after I'll get out of the box.

I don't know if there is somewhere a kind a "GR3 Preset Database", that would be great.

Thanks a lot !

 

for presets go to the website and click on Community. from there you can access the guitar rig user library.

There is actually a satriani preset that is decent, you just have to tweak its e.q. to your guitar. You can acheive a decent santana sound with the clean hiwhite or ultrasonic amp and one or two tube screamers chained together(one for a boost the other with gain maxed). Guitar rig takes alot of tweaking to get sounds together, so keep tweaking.

 

thx !

Thanks a lot Tribedescribe !

I found a santana preset on the community but nothing concerning satriani, can you help me ?

 

Go to the Tone Workshop board up above.

I have posted several Satch tunes and uploaded the presets I use in some of the post.

I don't really ever try and create patches that sounds like this song or that, but you may like the patches anyway.

The Vai tune I posted also uses that same patch as the Satch tunes.

 

Hey EL34xyz,

Thanks !

I've been to the Tone workshop, but which is the post where you upload the preset you use ?

Probably have to search on my user name to find more, but the link above has the presets I use for Satch and Vai type tunes.

 

This question is not going to be easy to ask, for two reasons: first because English is not my mother tongue and secondly because I'm a beginner in the use of Guitar Rig.

Well, here we go. I would like to make the note to last longer. I'm using the Santana preset available here but to play Europa, it doesn't work, like during the chorus, the note last a very long time...but ith these preset, no way to keep the note more than 5 seconds....

I used to play with a friend's pedal, and when I added distortion, I was actually able to have the kind of sound I'm looking for....and it was a pretty cheap pedal, so I'm sure there is a way to do the same with my new beloved guitar rig !

Thanks !

 

you're talking about sustain - right? usualy this depends on guitar type (strats sustain lesser than les pauls, tremelo sustain lesser than hardtail and so on)

besides guitar (which I believe has the most influence), there are a number of tools (available in GR) that may significantly improve the sustain, such as compresion and distorsion.

 

Thanks for your answer kope.

Yeah, I'm talking about sustain. I have a Les Paul type guitar.

In fact, this is the bank I'm actually using (I uploaded it here):

I'm using the preset call "Santana - Europa Disto", I've downloaded it here. I like the sound of that preset, but I just think that there is not enough "sustain"..maybe I should say disto, because sustain is more concerning my guitar itself than the settings of the rig. Anyway, I tried to modify it by adding some components, like "DISTORTION" or "CAT" but it actually change the sound ! I don't want to change the sound but only adding some sustain...is it possible ?
