Two presets are included: One with amp sims for direct-to-PA and one for use with a 3-channel amp and effects loop like the JP2C+ (John Petrucci and I use it this way).
These presets replicate the song's effects and scene changes.
🔹 Preset w/ Scenes – Set up for the various song sections.
🔹 Amp & Cab Sims – Included for direct users.
🔹 MIDI Block for Amp Users – Optimized for live amp setups (4-cable method).
🔹 Authentic Song Effects – Includes key effect setups like Rhythm + Heavy Delay (Intro), Clean + Chorus (Verse), Lead + Delay (6/8 - 7/8 Break)
Important Note: Preset uses Per-Preset Overrides. To view scenes in song order, navigate to the per-preset layout. I use Layout Links so that when I select a Preset from Layout 1 (Presets), it automatically goes to Layout 6 (Per-Preset).
