Snow (Hey Oh)
Snow (Hey Oh) is a perpetual-motion machine of cascading sixteenth-note arpeggios, and the tone is deceptively simple: John Frusciante's 1962 Stratocaster running clean into a Marshall Major, with a Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble adding the liquid shimmer that makes the figure glisten. There is almost no dirt — the magic is in the clarity, the chorus, and Frusciante's relentlessly even right hand.

What we checked
Computed by a program, on this recipe, every time this page is built. How this works
Preset files — 1 of 3 complete
- Helix builds complete — every block in the recipe is in the file
- Quad Cortex 5 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Replaced with a stand-in: LA Compressor, Vintage Chorus, Plexi 100, 4x12 Greenback, Plate. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
- Katana 1 block missing from the file; 4 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Not in the file: Reverb. The recipe calls for this block, but we have no verified model ID for it on this platform, so the preset is written without it. Add it by hand using the settings above.

What we didn't check
- Nobody played this through a real amp. There is no human listening test behind any number on this page.
- The settings are reasoned from the sources below, not measured off the record.
- No audio has been rendered for this recipe yet, so you cannot hear it before you load it.
- 3 platforms on this page (TONEX, Kemper, Fractal) get a model pointer, not a preset file — nothing was built or checked for them.
