VH1 sound with GR3: Step 4 - Finalizing, Compressor, Cabs

I finally changed the cabinets. The article said Eddie used 4 412 cabinets in the studio. The only point in this if they placed addition mic far from the stack to get the "size" of the sound. That's why I add an extra cabinet and increased the size of it to mimic the wall of sound (I placed the mic far).
For the close mic he used Sm57 mic with off axis.

I add a Tube Compressor after the cabinets to add some pump (like a real cab would)

The Chorus/Flanger after the Tape Echo is optional but it ads some harmonics, and curtain Van Halen songs requires it (Ain't talk' about love).

The Reverb was to loud so I add a volume pedal to control it (If I changed the Wet Mix it would destroy the sound, try it :)





Here is the final sound for this preset
The file is pretty big use Save as ...
