    Reproducing Petrucci's Wah

    Hopefully this can help approximate settings. The rack has +/-15db eq knobs. The pedal has +/-18db eq knobs. We don't know where the pots start/end on the pedal, but we can see min/max on the rack knobs. We know middle is 0. The rack wah seems to have different settings to me, I would think it...

    Multidelay mix issues

    I could the Megatap in the preset it is in, I will try that this evening. The preset the Multi Delay is in I use mix set at 100% with an envelope volume effect at the beginning of the chain for an ambient volume in effect.

    Multidelay mix issues

    As per 5.37 Common Mix Parameters on page 116 of the Axe II manual, the Multi Delay mix laws are causing me issues. If the effect is "Mute Fx in" the signal still hits the effects mixer, and causes significant volume drop in presets. Is there any known workaround other than using a scene...

    Multi delay Volume Decrease?

    I am having this issue as well. It is my understanding that the mix law for the Multi Delay is what is causing me problems. Page 116 of the Axe Fx II manual shows the mix law, and that the mixer is after the effect and affects the dry signal even with Mute Fx In. I use the Multi Delay in 2...

    FX8 and Axe-Fx II effects threads: Drives & Boosts (DRV)

    All threads but DRV have seemed to be erased. Is there anyway to get a "fx block subforum" under General Topics as there is already one for "Amps and Cabs"? The reason I ask is that most fx blocks exist for the Axe-Fx II, XL, AX8, and FX8. It would be nice if there was a place all could share...

    The FX8 is absolutely amazing. At first the interface seemed daunting, but is actually very well thought out.

    not sure about the new delay mix law

    I'm talking about where the signal path splits from the main direct line. There is a branch off from the main line that goes to delay 1's input. Then a shunt under delay one.
