Patch Names - The Original Tones

[tootone68]

Have you ever wondered what a patch name refers to? Sometimes its very obvious (e.g. Erupting - EVH Eruption), other times its completely cryptic, or a reference to some band/guitarist you've never heard of. Apparently this cryptology is to avoid copyright or trademark infringment. Line6 will go straight ahead and say "The U2 Edge Sound" -- Boss go for the more obscure "Irish Delay".

I have made a list of all the GT-10 cryptic patch names, and where possible put a proper translation/description. Will you guys help fill in the blanks (TBC). Cheers, TT

First off I want to say that not every patch is based on a certain band or artist. Here are some I can help on:

Sedated Punk- The Ramones (I Wanna Be Sedated)
Dirty Ska- Any ska music
Mister Foo- IS The Foo Fighters
Rocking Man-Rush
Dovers Cliffs-Eric Johnson (Cliffs of Dover)*do you live in a box? just kidding
Dime Floods-NOT Dimebag just a clean patch
LA Rap Metal-Limp Biskit or Beastie Boys
Craftworks- Just a synth patch

HTH

dime floods? sounds like a pantera patch to me... aka the song floods by dime... but i dont own a GT-10 so yea

[tootone68]

Dovers Cliffs-Eric Johnson (Cliffs of Dover)*do you live in a box?

Clearly I do... I'm a telecoms guy, don't get out much

Thanks for opening my horizons

Dime Floods = Floods by Pantera without a doubt.

Did you not get the preset list with your manual? There was a 4 page list with mine that described each patch quite well.

Try this link and you can download a .pdf file of the whole list.

That list is useful, but it doesn't refer to specific artists as the patch names are clearly alluding to.

Peace,

I updated the list (see first post).

Here are some of my thoughts:

DEVIL BOYS - first thought was Motley Crue from Shout At The Devil days

HECKA-CASTERS - I'd bet this is supposed to emulate The Hellecasters (check 'em out!)

FUNKY BILLIE J - Billie Jean by Michael Jackson?

[pepezordust]

I updated the list (see first post).

Hi.


White Friday, for me sounds like a joke with Black Sabbath. I don't Know, I didn't hear it yet. What do you think ? Is it a distorted patch a la Toni Iommi ?
