On behalf of all I dub thee Sir Yek The Giver! :encouragement:

Thank you Sir Yek!

Talk-box effect, using the Formant block.

Place after Amp block.

Use External 1 (pedal) to control the vowels.

Note: External 1 is also used to engage the effect, using special modifier settings instead of auto-engage.

In any case, thanks for all these, Yek (and other contributors)!

Dimension D's 4 modes in two blocks using X/Y. I bundled these from iaresee's excellent demo

Mutron emulations, both "up" and "down". Using Filter blocks.

Place the Filter at the start of the grid. If you use both Filters in a single preset, use separate rows, or put them in series and change the Bypass modes into Thru.

Also use the Controllers block for Envelope settings.

PEQ.

I use this PEQ when rehearsing or gigging through FR amplification. It's in all my "amp" presets.

It adds a low midboost (Tyler Grund's tip) for punch. It also applies a low-cut and high-cut to overcome the Fletcher-Munson curve.

Place at the end of the grid.

Note: its Bypass parameter is attached to External 3. Use I/O > MIDI / External 3 Init Value to engage or bypass the block (in all presets containing this block at once!).

Firmware v12.

This one works great! Since I am just now venturing into FRFR, I have OUT2 going to my guitar cab and OUT1 going to the FRFR - any reason this should work before the FXLoop? So the last part of the chain would be PEQ -> FXL -> CAB.

Seems fine with just the FRFR hooked up - haven't tried with both yet, but I suspect it will be ok.

It works before FXL but it impacts the signal going into your guitar power amp / cab.
You won't want that.

Look at this for an example of how to place it:

Look at this for an example of how to place it:

I guess I am a bit confused... Both OUT1 and OUT are going to different inputs on my Matrix amp. OUT1 of the amp goes to a Xitone wedge and OUT2 goes to my guitar cab.

In both cases the PEQ is before the power amp and speaker, although it is a bit different on the FRFR side since the CAB block is in between.

Maybe I am missing something obvious?

 

[yek]

Ah okay, your amp does double duty.

The PEQ is targeted at FR only. That's why you want it out of the FXL path (= OUT2), and only in the OUT1 path with Cab block, by splitting the rows.

I was wondering if anyone had any compressor blocks they could share. Haven't gotten the hang of doing anything cool with this yet. Thanks.
