DOBRO Simulation

1. Voicing - Try settings 1, 4, 6, 15 (jazz) and 16 (acoustic). You need a clean bright voice and these settings sound best to my ear. Since a DOBRA is an acoustic guitar setting 16 works really well. To my ear settings 1 and 15 also work really well.

2. Bass - Try from 1-3. You have to cut the bass out to get that tinny DOBRO sound.

3. Treble - Try from 7 to 10. You have to exagerate the trebble to simulate the DOBRO sound.

4. FX Select - Level 7 to 10. Exagerate the chosen effect.

5. Effect - Vibratone. I prefer the first vibratone setting with the slow rotating baffle to simulate the DOBRO.

6. Gain - about 7.

7. Volume - anywhere from 3 to 5 or as loud as you and your neighbors can handle.

I play through a telecaster and to my ear the middle pickup switch position sounds best but the neck only position is good as well. I max the trebble on the tone knob and volume knob.

Let me know if you agree this sounds somewhat like a DOBRO and if you like it. I jammed a bunch of songs using this setting and the guys thought it sounded cool.

Organ Simulation.

If you're already using one of my DOBRO simulation settings above simply change the effect from Vibratone to pure Chorus and IMO it makes your guitar sound quite a lot like an organ.

I think the best organ simulation is with amp voicing 1, 15 and 16.

Let me know what you think of these two settings and if you have a favorite or cool SCXD setting post the details in this thread.
