80s Schmoo - LA Guitar Racks
Big hair. Wide guitars. Chorus for days. ’80s Schmoo brings the lush, layered spirit of Los Angeles studio guitar racks to the Sonsig ACE Dimensional Expander. From smooth four-voice width to rich tri-chorus movement and shimmering two-voice textures, these presets give clean rhythms, melodic leads and atmospheric swells a polished LA studio glow. THE SCHMOO STORY: “Schmoo” is an affectionate nickname used by guitarists for the lush, silky, effects-rich clean sound associated with the 1980s Los Angeles session-guitar world of players such as Michael Landau, Dann Huff and Steve Lukather. The term appears in online guitar discussions at least as far back as 2014; its original coiner and date are not established. Our name celebrates that sound and the spirit of those elaborate studio racks, bringing their spacious, layered character into a collection you can mix and match. Enjoy each preset on its own, or combine two ACE instances to layer contrasting chorus colors and build a wider, richer guitar sound. PAIRS WELL WITH: the 80s Schmoo - LA Guitar Racks preset pack for LX480. Put Sonsig ACE first for width, movement and sheen, then let LX480 supply the rhythmic echoes and lush vintage spaces. Try Valley Silk Four-Voice Chorus in ACE into Valley Pan Delay into Hall in LX480 for the full LA rack experience. Created by Randy Young.
