  • • Basic Acoustic
  • Another natural sounding setting with adjustable EQ, room reverb and hammer noise.
  • • Kingston Spring
  • Slight amounts of tape compression and saturation give character to this preset. Combined with the vintage spring reverb, you can give your sound a true Jamaican flavor.
