The only problem with things like that, is that it all depnds on your type of amp. Not every amp is going to behave the same as far as the built-in EQ goes.

Yeah..... what were these tones devised for in particular? (and by that I mean, what amps?)

Correction, the Clapton woman tone is wrong, the Clapton "woman" tone is achieved through a Marshall Amp with all setings at max and the pick-up set at the front end i.e. Rythym, and at times with the occasional wah-pedal.

Yeah, Clapton always put his Vox wah at half pivot.

And if it's ok to post our own amp settings:

My settings:

Fender Frontman 15G Amp

Normal Volume: 10
Gain: 7
Drive Volume: 6.5
Treble: 6
Mid: 10
Bass: 4

I'm going to experiment with these settings though and see how it turns out.
EDIT: I'm stuck with the British Crunch setting, my already sizzling single coils sound like some hot humbuckers. heart
EDIT2: On closer inspection while it gives the guitar a nice "crunchy" sound it just lacks the extra bite I get from my settings, however the sound is definitely solid and will indeed be my mainstay for Rythym pieces or songs with simple leads (like Crossroads, it just sounded so vintage coming out right now from my amp) from now on 3nodding . But don't let my opinion deter any of you guys from trying the settings out.

Yeah true, most amps have a different sound to them, so those wouldn't be entirely accurate.

Just make sure that you post your amp as well.... some of the amp settings will not work exactly from amp to amp, but that's okay.

K, edited my settings to include my amp.

I've always went with the following, no matter what amp I use:

Bass - 10
Treble - 10
Mid - 1
Reverb ( if it has it ) - 1
Gain ( on crunch channel ) - 10

Who'd have thought that the guild's Metal Maiden was a no-frills sort o' gal? mrgreen

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but I find that if you use the bridge humbucker on clean, you can achieve a tone that's akin to an acoustic. 3nodding

BTW.....

Using Guitar Rig 2, I tried out the John Petrucci tone on it's Rectifier (they call it the gratifier) and it's un beleivable. Both the crunch and the Lead are just unreal. IT BLOWS MY MIND!

Most of them wouldn't work properly on conventional solid state amps, because of the presence control. Generally, only valve (tube) amps have presence controls.

Depends on Volume.. the louder I get I turn the bass down cuz the added volume brings the bass up automatically. And when I'm playing dirty I play on the Treble Pickup cuz that also helps to reduce the bass.
