Hi.
One of the great features of the Axe FX that I use regularly are volume blocks placed in the signal chain (controlled by an expression pedal) so that I can seamlessly crossfade between an acoustic sounding patch and a louder, distorted patch.
However, I'm just curious....does anyone know how this can be done using conventional stompbox pedals and a single amplifier? I know that stompboxes like the Boss AC3 acoustic simulator will let you switch between an acoustic sound (from the pedal going to an acoustic amp) to a distorted sound (coming from a distorted second amp which is activated when the AC3 is bypassed) but this isn't what I'm after as it involves two amps and no crossfade between the sounds.
Thanks.
