Blue Box Effect a la Pat Travers

Hey ya'll, the new D/AD (A/DA) flanger and Leon's @2112 posts got me inspired to go back and check out some of the coolest Pat Travers tones I heard growing up. This preset emulates the MXR Blue Box effect on the guitar solo in Off Beat Ride from the Puttin It Straight record. Credit to @2112...

The Cure - 'Just Like Heaven'

Anyone have a preset for this tune? My band is now doing this tune. Sounds like there is two electric guitar tones going on: a rhythm tone and the tone used for the tag line. Cheers.

Replicate Electro-Harmonics Freeze

Hi All, I searched but could not find a way to replicate the Electro-Harmonix Freeze pedal effect on the AxIII. For rehearsal and performance purposes, I need to be able to play a chord and have it sustain indefinitely so I can play melodies over it. I have used the looper and made a long loop...
