DSP Rig
Gary Moore Tone — Plugins & Amp Sims
Gibson Les Paul Standard (including Peter Green's original 1959 burst for a period) into a Marshall 100W. The tone is thick, hot and articulate — mid-heavy with aggressive pick attack and dramatic sustained vibrato. No heavy effects; the emotion is entirely in the hands.
Gary Moore's signature crunch tone — built around Marshall voicings — can be replicated in the box using modern amp sim plugins and IR cab loaders. This page maps the full DSP signal chain: guitar sim → amp sim → FX → IR, so you can dial in that emotional, singing character without physical gear.
