Here`s a tread just for fun.
Sometimes when I go trough the factory presets I find myself wondering why the preset is given it`s name
Here`s some examples I can drag out of the top of my head(sitting in the living room now and don`t have the ER beside me).

Sandstage - Enter Sandman, Metallica
Black Hat - Slash
Volcanic - Eruption, Van Halen
10 Cent Sack - Cowboys From Hell, Dimebag

If anybody have the full list then you can post it here so everybody can put in their contribution.
It could help people expand their musical horizon to, say you fall in love with a preset and can`t connect it to something...then maybe if it`s based on an artist their never heard before, it will help people to find new artists and idols...or maybe not.

It`s just for fun, some sort of guessing game. :-)

Here is a few that sounds right to me...

Saturation - Joe Satriani
Baby Pool - Nirvana
Swamp Sound - CCR (Born on the Bayou)
Jazz Funk - James Gang (Joe Walsh - Funk #49)
Browntown - EVH (Unchained)
And yeah, I think Sweet Open G is the Stones "Honky Tonk Woman"

There is a similar topic at digidesign's forum here:

I summed it up on the DUC site so I post it here to.

Rock Royal = Queen
Loads of love = Zeppelin's Whole lotta love
Subway God = RHCP
7 string god = Vai
Irish Echo = U2
Sandstage = Metallica
Black Hat = G n' R
New Orleans = The Hip
Volcanic = VH eruption
Alt Oxford = Judas Priest
Weeping = Hendrix
Sanstain - Santana
Whos that? - Pete Townsend
American Rose - Steve Vai
Hedstock - Hendrix at Woodstock
Blonde cop - Andy Summers
Sweet Open G = early Stones
Texus Nexus = SRV
Fat Cat = BB king?
Loose the Pick = Dire straits
Luna steps = the police "walking on the moon"
10 Cent Sack - Dimebag Darrell, Cowboys From Hell
Schoolboy Grind = AC/DC
Exhale = Pink Flyod's "Breathe In"
London Town = Sounds like intro to "My Generation" the Who
Toronto Tone = Rush
Saturation - Joe Satriani
Baby Pool - Nirvana
Swamp Sound - CCR (Born on the Bayou)
Jazz Funk - James Gang (Joe Walsh - Funk #49)
Browntown - EVH (Unchained)

Hey bro, a few of these that you listed were suggestions from someone for FUTURE presets, not one's that are ACTUALLY on the Eleven Rack. Those were...

New Orleans - The Hip
Sanstain - Santana
Whos that? - Pete Townsend
American Rose - Steve Vai
Hedstock - Hendrix at Woodstock
Blonde cop - Andy Summers

And for some other ideas for Future presets, I'd like ta see these...

Ah Via Tone - Eric Johnson
Building the Tone - Steve Vai
Dream Rig - John Petrucci
Scary Mob - George Lynch
Tube Grange - Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top)
Decadence Onun - Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme)
More Than a City - Tom Scholz (Boston)
Master of Battery - OLD Metallica sound
Thrash Symphony - Megadeth
Shred Fest - Yngwie Malmsteen
Mr. Shred - Paul Gilbert

And is it me, but does "Subway God" sound more like Eric Clapton (Sunshine of Your Love), than RHCP??

I agree with several of these examples, but some I just don't hear it..

Hello to all. I'm a recent ER owner and have just now joined Eleven Rack Presets.
I've been wondering about the origins of the various sounds and FX in Eleven Rack, and this thread answers most of my questions. Happy to get on board so early and looking forward to witnessing the site grow as well as availing myself of the resources. Also hope that I am able to contribute to someone else's use of ER as well.

I thought that Subway God was a reference to the "Clapton is God" graffiti that showed up in the subways

I was playing some old Clapton with the Subway God rig. I agree especially when you kick in the ts9. I was jamming some Blind Faith as well as Vintage Cream. It pretty much nails it

London Town could also be Dire Straits (Sultans)
