I'm wanting to set up my "go-to" stereo patch which will hopefully provide we with the following:
Scene 1: main sound Panned Left
Scene 2: main sound center
Scene 3: Main sound Panned Right
Scene 4-8: Main Sound with various filters/effects applied.
Currently, the patch looks sorta like this once it hits the "stereo" stage (forgive my crude drawing, I binned Axe edit when it crashed everything):
... DRV1 > AMP1 > CAB1 > FILT1 > GEQ1 > LOOPER > out
.............\ AMP2 > CAB2 > FILT2 > GEQ2 > > out
ignore the filters, I use them for a Lo-Fi sound
I have the Amps/Cabs panned left and right and the GEQ's are being used as a "kill" switch where they are both bypassed for scene 2 (Giving stereo), the 2nd is bypassed for Scene 1 (Left output only), and the first is bypassed for Scene 3 (Right output only) - if that all makes sense.
I have my MFC set up to do it all via scenes, but I'm having trouble with a few things.
1 - Is using scenes in this function to switch between a left/center/right stereo sound the best way when all thats available is the AXE FX ii & MFC 101? - could you recommend any other ideas for doing so? I quickly realized that bypassing everything on the "right" track ends up with a direct clean signal (Which I want to avoid).
2 - Is there a "Copy Block" function I can use to make a copy of my AMP/CAB 1 block and paste it to AMP/CAB 2? When I switch between my scenes, the right only sound seems different to the left only - somewhat weaker, yet the settings for all I can see are the same on both amps and cabs (barring the balance controls of course). Anything else you can think of that might cause this?? If it helps, I'm doing this prelim setup using headphones, will tweak the actual sounds at rehearsal later in the week - meaning that a possible copy/paste feature would be very useful once I've nailed it for one.
3 - Going out on a limb here, but I'm wanting to use the looper to a degree to emulate a second guitarist - we have one, but hes away for a while and were not going to get a fill in, however, I can play his lines and would be able to record/loop them live, but I'd like to - if at all possible - to have the looper set so that while it is playing the recorded loop, there's nothing but that recorded signal coming out of that side. One option I can think of would be to record the loop phrase while playing the song, then hit the play button, hit my "right only" channel and then in theory, the looper will spit out the recorded phrase on the left side while my continued playing/soloing/harmonizing will come out the right side and neither through the opposites. Does this sound about right or is there a better way to do this?
I went through the Wiki ages ago but theres a lot of presumed knowledge to it, most of us dont know what it's even referring to sometimes.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions offered.
