I did some Dick Dale CDLC, but just used Clean guitar. I know Dick Dale uses an early strat, a Fender Showman set to "blow the roof off" and spring reverb.  The ODLC Miserlou sounds pretty good. How would I extract the tone from Miserlou and use it for my CDLC?

The easiest way is to simply use the import / import from file within the Rocksmith DLC builder or Toolkit and select the dlc file which will let you just select the tones you wish you import.

Otherwise you can assign that tone within Rocksmith and use a similar feature to import from your Rocksmith profile which will let you access your hotkeyed tones.

Finally, if all else fails you essentially just go into tone designer and write down all the information of the tone and then create/add a new tone in the builder/toolkit and fill that same info manually.

 

Also, if you have trouble finding the ODLC file itself (the naming convention is somtimes strange) the best way I found is to go into your Steam DLC for Rocksmith, uninstall and reinstall it so that when you sort by newest that DLC will be on top.

Thanks! I appreciate it. Your notes and this video helped a lot!  I was able to grab the tone out of Miserlou and use it for Shake N Stomp, Lets Go Trippin' and Surf Beat. I haven't uploaded the updated versions yet, but that did the trick! Now to fix tones on Baja and Mr Moto. Can't have surf without a reverb!
