Contact Fractal for your Custom Title
My favorite album these days is Big Wreck's Albatross (brought to my attention through this forum).
I love the songs, singing, arrangements. And superb guitar tones too: powerful, great fuzz tones, and great transparent compression.
So I googled Ian Thornley's gear. He uses Fortin and Soldano amps and Pigtronix effects, such as the Philosophers Tone: a combined compressor/sustainer/overdrive (see video below). This compressor has a Blend control, which in fact is a mix control.
So I checked out the COMP block in the Axe-Fx (I used Pedal 2 mode) and realized it has a Mix control which I've never set below 100% (as advised in the manual).
I've been experimenting with that. And lower Mix settings work great, especially with distorted tones.
Just wanted to share this with you.
