    Pedal steel, anyone?

    No, just a PEQ in my main preset for tone shaping because I play guitar more. I’m doing it that way just to save CPU for my guitar signal path and all the other blocks I also run in the same preset. Don’t get me wrong, use what sounds best to you. If I was playing only pedal steel and not both...

    Pedal steel, anyone?

    I play pedal steel live very often, all through my axe fx, it works and sounds great! I actually just use a PEQ block, no Amp sim. I know a few other great players who play through a solid state peavy and another uses the old line 6 red bean POD, you’d never guess it either…I think your friend...

    Anyone compare that new 2290 pedal to our 2290 delay?

    I’ve had the 2290 pedal for about a month now. In my comparisons the Axe Fx model sounds identical to me.

    Is it possible to use the smartphone to play backing tracks?

    You can use 1/8” to 1/4” stereo cable from your phone into Input 2 L/R. You have to put input 2 block into every preset you plan to use the backing tracks with though. You can use pitch shift block to drop the recordings too if they aren’t in the same key as your guitar is tuned, or vice versa.

    Formant effect for Levitating by Dua Lipa?

    I use the Roland GR-55 for that sound. The base of the sound is under the “Aaahs” PCM sound type. I haven’t tried to use the formant sound in the axe fx. I suspect it may be too far into keyboard/synth territory tho. I can’t recommend the gr-55/axe fx combo enough though, the other guitar player...

    Strings - 9s tuned to Eb and setup

That said I play with a light enough touch. You will have problems sounding sharp if you pick/hit/fret...

    Glad you’re finding the presets somewhat helpful.

    +1 I also have to send midi PC to my IPad (because I’m choosing to use scene midi) - the OnSong app then sends the commands back to my Axe, which sends it ‘thru’ to my Roland GR55 on midi Ch.2 - it works, but it’s an extra place for something to go wrong.
