All Hail the Mighty Butch Walker

In the video, Butch says he’s using a 2290 slap back delay and the small plate reverb. I think both are contributing to that “room sound“ that he does so well. On the 2290, I do about 140 ms with about 8% mix. On the small plate do about 10% mix. That should get you about 90% of the way on his reverb sound.

I was using the digital mono for slap back. Switched to the 2290 after watching the video. It’s better but colored a bit compared to the digital mono. It’s nice.

I knew his would be good, the man has a great ear for guitar tone.One of my favorite recorded guitar tones were the tones he got on the injected album he produced, and of course the tone from Ready Sex Go were absolutely rocktastic! and yeah we really need to persuade him into sharing his presets! they sound amazing!

Injected is a blast from the past!

My mom used to work for Musicland and was friends with the record label reps so would always get free CD's and concert tickets. She'd bring home boxes of promo albums which were usually meh but Burn it Black was one of those and I thought it was killer.

We saw them on their tour at a tiny little club and I was about 10 feet away from the amps. That was still during nu metal and pop rock, so they were a rare kick in the ass rock and roll band. Fantastic group, really wish they had more success.

UGH I wish i could have seen them live!
That burn it black album was in serious rotation for a very long time. Even today when i listen to it i can't believe that they didn't blow up!

He plays the best sounds I have ever heard from the Fractal Audio universe. So real, so open and aggressive. I wish I was able to adjust my FM3 like this. That's my task for the next few days, or weeks :)
I think, I'm on the right track with little gain and little effect. I'll probably have to reduce the bass further and tighten up the DynaCab ...

Edit:
Mr. Walker was so kind to describe his way of crating this sound, so it took 20 minutes for my to get very happy.
This FM3 makes me so glad!

Where did he describe it?

Thanks for shining the light on Injected. Never heard of them, I really like their album (on YT). Ordered a used copy off eBay...
There is another amazing one-record band no-one knows about, really hard to find anything about them, called "Fat". I think they might have been a precursor to rap metal (a genre which otherwise I don't like).
 
Hi everyone, like many of others, I've been really inspired by this vid and its led me to explore the amp saturation switch. I was wondering if there was a way to have a cs controller bring the saturation switch in and out but be able to save it with each scene? It seems that it's all or nothing in that, when you bring it in or out, it applies to all scenes? Hope that makes sense!

Yes. Go to the control switch per scene settings and change the behavior to either on or off rather than last.

If you assign saturation on/off to a control switch, then go to the software editor (Axe-Edit, FM9 Edit, etc.) and click Controllers along the top bar, then click CS per Scene and you’ll see a grid of all of your control switches per scene. Assign on and off and that should become the default for each scene.

Thanks for taking the time to reply - much appreciated. To better explain, I'm looking to replace my drive blocks with this approach. I like to bring in more gain on the fly (regardless of the scene and channel I'm on), save it and come back to it later - just like you can with the drive block. I'm pretty sure that it's not possible but thought I'd check with the community

I could well be wrong, but isn't that what the CS per Scene setting Last does?

As you can tell, i don't really use control switches hardly at all myself, or I'd know what I'm talking about.

EDIT:
No that's not what Last does, see below.
Apologies for any confusion.

Yes. In fact, it's a built in feature of my TonePacks. Just go to Saturation in amp tabs, pick IDEAL Sat. type -- you may have to adjust the satuartion value if that gets too loud, then right click and the modifier window/dialogue box comes up. Where it says Modifer type NONE, click in that box and you can assign it a CS switch or a pedal -- anything. (BTW - I use CS5 for Saturation, CS2 for Amp Boost, CS3 for FAT and CS4 for Brite switch).

CS per Scene set to ON or OFF will set the state of your saturation control switch for each scene (ON or OFF).

CS per Scene set to LAST will retain the last state of that control switch globally.

It sounds like the best way to accomplish your goal of saving it and coming back to it later is to set the CS per Scene to ON or OFF and assign saturation to a footswitch on an FC-6 or FC-12 and change/edit/save as you go.
