Where do you run it in the signal chain? Post AMP, pre CAB?
I run it between the amp and the cab blocks.
Can you make that recording?
I am not currently set up for recording.
Nah. I want well-captured tracks so I can understand their transfer function.
Not sure how soon it would be, but I will try and record a track for you demoing all modes of MIMIQ etc and in A/B comparison of course.
Thanks. If you can record just the pedal. Nothing else. That'd be best.
I have explored many avenues with this, there are several ways to do it but only 1 is TRUE double tracked.
3) The only way to achieve a true double track live, is with another guitarist, backing tracks, or a looper. In this case ill explain how I utilize the built in looper on axe-fx. Hopefully you have the MFC foot controller. So, obviously you will have to play & record the part to loop it back first. I record/loop my riff then using one controller: IA switch, exp pedal, or scene controller. I assign the looper balance to go either full L or R and then do the opposite with my dry or main signal via volume block. Engage the controller and play along (same RIFF) with the loop (I personally like an exp pedal). Now your double tracking live. Note: Put looper at end of the chain and in parallel, mix 100, adjust level to liking. Also put the volume block at the end of the chain, in your main signal path. Might have to play with the L&R Pan parameters in Looper and volume as well. Sorry not in front of my axe-fx.
Lastly, I understand the need to have precision, and this way unfortunately doesn't allow for an immediate double track bc you have to record it first, but I think it's a cool effect live MONO to STEREO double tracked. Also, just FYI, you can do all of this with MIDI program changes if you have that capability. I've done it and it is PRECISE and effortless on your performance end. Otherwise you'll have a little bit of tap-dancing to doif it were easy everyone would do it.
Let me know if you need more explanation, I can try and get you a patch screen shot or something.
Funny you asked that, I went home yesterday and figured out a work around. What i did was set each amp to MUTE instead of THRU. I then assigned a scene controller to adjust the PAN/BALANCE on the amps and CABS. Scene 2 is my lead and I don't want it double tracked, so I turn off one of the amps in that scene, (specifically the amp receiving the R signal or Stereo from MIMIQ) and the scene controller is set to 50% for both AMP & CAB Balance parameters so I can get my signal back down the center, or MONO/STEREO without the double track effect. I am able to keep the MIMIQ pedal on all the time using this method, there is MAYBE a teeny-tiny little bit of variance in tone but nothing audibly noticeable, if even at all, & especially not noticeable to an audience. Try it out, it works great!
I would highly recommend using either the LOOPER or Playing to a Click but Definitely not both. Your looper and Click will NEVER be on time UNLESS you are using program MIDI Changes to make your changes in DAW that is also providing the click, in that case your computer would make it perfect. You would be surprised how easy it is for your band to follow your loop. A helpful thing to consider is to utilize the enhancer block, so that your loop and live playing are not competing for stereo fields. Keep one in the center (LEAD-MONO) and one wide (Rhythm-STEREO).
What is your need for the IA switch? Why not just turn the pedal itself on and off? I guess it depends if you have the pedal on your pedal board or in a rack backstage.
