5 Minute Tones

[Smittefar]

Nice one - For the 70s funk autowah, I think I would turn up Q even higher in the filter block. The synth and pitch things sound awesome.

What does the filter in the synth block do? is it lo-passing the sawtooth wave?

trust your ears

Trust your ears indeed. I try not to even look at the names of things if I can help it to try and avoid bias in my mind. If I’m trying to just craft a sound anyway. I know what I like when I hear it.

From memory yes but I'll double check

Yes, just watched that earlier today

Copped this approach from the awesome lexicon PCM81 - works a treat on the Axe-Fx III and FM3

 

[Smittefar]

It sounds great - A great way to use ADSR - It is one of the more daunting modifiers for sure

I've always loved the morphing setup for so many things.
It gives the consist of whatever you're using it on, the illusion that it's alive..breathing so to speak.
Thanks LEON for this BEAUTIFUL example/demo and instructions with a preset.
You rock dude!

I think the five minute tone format is great for the “ThE aXe TakES TOo mUcH TweAKing” crowd, but I always find myself wanting more. I just dig your tones and playing.

Thanks, that's exactly why I started it. Once the full Cygnus release is out I'm going to do a big deep dive video.

Thanks Leon for another great video. I was beginning to doubt myself when I was using significant low cuts on the input EQ of the Friedmans. I was wondering if there was something wrong with my playing technique or my ears that made me perceive the large amount of bass and low mids in these amps. You’ve confirmed my use of the input low cut!

Mimicked the settings and it sounds great! Clearly, Leon's PU's are brighter or hotter than mine LoL.

When I added the delay in parallel like in the video, it double my output. I tried the mute in/out's and am biffing it apparently. Anyone recall the correct way for adjusting this? I'm checking Wiki as we speak.

I tried with the common options and it works without adding volume:
- mix 100% level as you prefer
(otherwise depending on what you want to hear... you can have level at 0 and play with the input gain)

Thanks, Leon, for mentioning that you're using a Duncan JB in this video. There have been a few times in the past where I've wanted to know what pickups you were using as a reference point.

Nice BD guitar, too, BTW. Hippo, birdie, two ewes!

O M G !!! Sounds rocked, as usual (and no, I really haven't dialed up that kind of tone for myself), but the Stereo Mind Guy was great fun at the end!

Very nice - and great exhibition of stank face at the end

Thanks Leon. Basics question …. Can you remind me why you put the delay block where you do vs. in the straight block path?
