Subject: Re: SDS7 Sounds

Actually, there were no true "factory" presets for the SDS7. I used to
have all my Simmons gear worked on by an ex-Simmons tech (before I lost
contact with him) and had asked him to restore my SDS7's factory
presets when a battery went out. He informed me that each 7 was
slightly different from the next (hardware wise) and they found it
almost impossible to make universal presets that would sound good in
every unit. I have two SDS7's with the Memory cartridge and have tried
swapping presets and I always have to tweak them to get the sound
right. I wish I had better news for you, but that's my understanding
of how the preset thing was handled.
