    Wish Axe-Edit (NOT Axe FX!) as a plugin!

    I'll bump this up for the Fractal folks to see again. I appreciate the enthusiasm but Axe-Edit is just a control interface for the hardware, so as @mr_fender just mentioned it wouldn't make sense, the way it is now. But you might be on to something here. If the Axe-Fx was configured as an...

    FM3 My Fractal on a new Spotify worship release.

    At that point in time I was doing mostly club gigs so it would have been Top 40 Pop, also Rock/Funk/Jam band stuff. It was nice to have something so portable that could be used as a monitor with a DI into the PA if needed.

    Nice work on all these tracks! The GK 250 sounds great and brings me right back to the 80's. I had the 250ML combo for smaller gigs and loved that thing! I had the mic stand mount that let me keep it almost in my face.

    There was definitely 'distortion' modules in the GP-16. It was a LONG time ago and I'm not a young guy anymore but I'm sure I remember some variations of drive, crunch, and overdrive.

    I completely forgot about the Roland GP-16 that I got in maybe 1988? The FX were pretty good and the amp models were serviceable. The thing that was cool for the time was being to move the Amp and FX blocks around. I still have it somewhere. It had been put away long before I discovered the...

    I think it was 1994 when I bought a Digitech 2101 (along with the extra DSP expansion).

    Wish Harmonic generator with level controls for each harmonic

    Thanks Glenn, well said. I think the confusion stems from my using a synthesizer example to show how harmonics can be created.

    Wish Harmonic generator with level controls for each harmonic

    You missed my point. The guitar is the sound source. You would be generating harmonics from the guitar and that's literally what you are asking to do. If you use a guitar as the sound source it creates guitar harmonics. Think of it, as someone else mentioned, as a pitch shifter, but a very...

    Watch the Harmonium video and think of how you could apply this idea using the guitar signal as the oscillator.

    Speaking of harmonics this plugin is interesting, although I don't see how this can be applied to a guitar signal. It's based on musical key rather than the pitch of a note. Somewhat related, maybe the harmonics part could be adapted to the AXE with the pitch block?
