Factory Presets

These are the sound settings that are assigned to each channel A1-B5

when the MIMX is shipped from the factory. With a single click of a but-

ton, you can obtain the MIMX's distinctive combinations of sound and

effects.

A1: Immortal Shred

AMP SELECTION: Psycho

This preset is ideal for the speedy riffs that are typical of the slash metal

or death metal bands in today's music scene. The mid-range is cut to

emphasize the high and low ranges, and a firm and robust sound is

created by raising the bass without excessively reducing the middle.

A2: Shrapnel Heroes

AMP SELECTION: Psycho

This preset can be used for guitar solos in a broad range from hard rock

to heavy metal. The EQ is relatively flat. If you add a fairly fast delay this

preset will give you a nice sound for soloing.

A3: Cruel Heaviness

AMP SELECTION: 90s Brit

This preset is for riffs that emphasize rhythm. It is ideal for low-tempo

songs and the boosted low range will give you a heavy distortion sound

that will pull together the sound of your band. This is ideal for the loud

rock sounds of today's music scene.

A4: Legend of the Beast

AMP STYLE: Hard Rock

This is a solo guitar preset for that classic 80's Metal Sound. This preset

has a sound character that is suggestive of the Golden Age of Metal as

typified by numerous British and LA metal bands.

A5: Emotional Clean

AMP STYLE: 60s Clean

This preset gives you thick lows, a brittle attack, and reverb to create a

warm atmosphere. By using a single-coil pickup you can produce a vin-

tage brilliant sound. By lowering the mix level of the reverb effect you

can emphasize the sense of attack.

B1: Sounds of the Right Hand

AMP SELECTION: Guitar God

This preset is ideal not only for heavy and tight riffs but also leads. The

distortion obtained by raising the GAIN to the maximum and a punchy

mid-range are a good match for humbucking pickups. A flanger is lightly

applied to produce a sense of drive, and delay is added to create spatial

effect.

B2: Purple Tone

AMP SELECTION: Rock

This is a high gain setting that strongly cuts the low range and adds a

distinctive character to the mid-range. By using a single coil pickup, you

can recapture the sound of the mid 70's. As you raise the MIDDLE con-

trol, the sound will take on a classical atmosphere --- adjust to your taste.

To take full advantage of this sound, play the hard rock riffs that were

revolutionary at the time and have now become the origin of today's

heavy rock.

B3: Crystal Clean

AMP SELECTION: Jazz Combo

This preset was designed to produce sparklingly clean and crystal clear

sounds. It is most suited to the hard rock and heavy metal "Power Bal-

lads" of the 80's and 90's. Try playing it using single-coil pickups, either

the center pickup or a combination of the neck/middle pickups. Raise

the effect mix level to get a more lavish sound.

B4: Solo DNA

AMP SELECTION: Rock

This preset was created for you to play those shredding solos made

famous by the guitar gods of the 80's! It's a setting that's great for going

wild with your musicality. Make free use of string bending, dive bombing,

pinch harmonics, sweep arpeggios and express your imagination.

B5: Samurai Edge

AMP SELECTION: 70s Brit

This preset is a good choice for comping or bluesy riffs played with a

single coil pickup. It has just the right amount of distortion to accentuate

the nuances of your picking, and has a nice crisp high end. Adjust the

amount of reverb to your taste.
