Kiko Loureiro’s love for music has always come naturally. Even at an early age, he was already a curious listener who loved spending time in the school library, consuming its vast music collection. At age 11, he started taking acoustic guitar lessons. And a few years later, he found his true calling in the world of progressive and heavy rock, jazz, and fusion.

In 2015, Kiko was invited to join the band Megadeth. Together with Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson and drummer Chris Adler, Kiko recorded Megadeth’s fifteenth studio album “Dystopia.”

ADD THESE PATCHES TO THE PATCH POOL

  • DoomRhythm - This is the main rhythm sound I use on stage with Megadeth, a MS800 with TS DRIVE and a little bit of Reverb.
  • Ktronik - Californian lead sound , not too bright not to boommy... just right!
  • ChugWug - Heavy gated Main rhythm with Xtasy Blue.
  • Conquer - MS 800 Lead sound with phaser just like the intro of "Conquer or Die" song.
  • Livid - Bright clean sound with StereoCho, Delay, and Spring. All around wet clean sound.
  • Getdown - Crunch tone with Octave using MS 800. It' s fun to jam over this tone.
  • Truecolor - Acoustic guitar emulation with Chorus and Plate for live application.
  • Thicktoria - BG MK3 and AnalogDly are used to create a thick lead tone.
  • Pagetwo - Roto effect in a FD TWNR. Perfect to play open chords and get a Jimmy Page vibe.
