Them Bones
Dirt opens with this riff, and it sounds like one massive guitar. It's actually six tracks. Dave Jerden split Cantrell's G&L Rampage across three rigs, each covering one frequency band: a Bogner Fish preamp into a VHT for the lows, a Bogner Ecstasy for the mids and a Rockman direct for the highs. He then doubled each one and panned the pairs apart. The song is in drop D tuned down a half step, and it's played dry. There's no flanger like Rooster has, just the split and the odd-meter riff.

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: Noise Gate, Studio Compressor, Ecstasy Red, 4x12 Marshall Bulldog, Room Reverb. 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; 3 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.
