Has anyone created or have a link to an Eric Johnson chorus pre-set? I would love to re-create the sound he gets on "Forty Mile Town" Thanks

LOVE Eric. Here is a solid rundown of gear used on this track (circa the Ah Via Musicom period) via Vintage Guitar:

For Ah Via Musicom, he used his fabled 1954 and ’58 sunburst Stratocasters, as well as an early-’60s ES-335 for much of “Cliffs of Dover” (along with a Chandler Tube Driver).

A Marshall 100-watt half-stack and Maestro Echoplex EP-3 completed the studio rig, and live he also deployed a Howard Dumble head (“It’s like an overgrown Twin with lots of voltage running through it”), through a Marshall 4×12 with a Tube Screamer, Fuzz Face, and MXR digital delay.

For clean tones of the period, there were a couple of old Fender Reverbs set about halfway, with a TC Electronic chorus and Echoplex, to help Johnson achieve bell-like chord effects. He also preferred to turn the Marshall’s Presence and Treble knobs down all the way, to help conjure his much-admired violin tone.


Looks like you should consider looking into the TC and see if this works for ya:

Probably about as close as one can get without actually having Eric stop by....

Cheers!
