sounds good. i think the delay mix can come up, but the number of repeats turned down. especially that last climbing part, the delay is pretty strong on the recording and adds to the solo.
i've been using a Control Switch instead of a pedal for this, adjusting the damping for the bend timing. i can't slow it down for some of the notes, but overall it's fine and i don't need a 2nd expression pedal. i do the same for Wah. so convenient!!
I do the same thing with a piano sustain pedal, style that looks like a proper sustain pedal. Bit larger size makes it’s easier to find under foot and by adjusting the dampening per preset I can have it do things like slow swells or fast wah sweeps etc. easier than sweeping an actual expression pedal in some cases and more consistent too.
Sometimes I use it for slow/fast changes too when holding it down. Certainly cheaper than an exp pedal too
I have 3 real expression pedals, one being spring loaded, then one sustain pedal I use as an expression, and 2 I use for dedicated looper control.
Fractal gear is certainly not lacking for means of control, and really the sky is the limit with regards to what you can make all these pedals and switches control. Sometimes just need to get out of the hardware mindset where you couldn’t assign parameters to most knobs. Likewise, you don’t need one pedal to control just one thing, you can assign lots of parameters to one pedal. For example I like to increase the rotary mix as I increase the speed so it’s faster and more intense, and a single pedal sweep does that, with a little dampening so it has a proper sounding lag time like the real deal when the motor ramps up the speed.
It’s funny, back in the 90s I had this silly little thing called a 3rd hand or something like that. It was a foot pedal with a mechanical shaft that you attached to a knob, so when you moved the pedal it would twist the knob. It slipped a lot and kind of sucked lol. But, it did give foot control to a parameter of my choice so I loved it.
Fast forward to today and anything and everything can be controlled by foot, by envelopes, by lfos etc.
Great time to be a guitarist
