Double tracked guitar LIVE idea

Ok, so basically I've been playing Live for a year now with the FM3, and I wanted to achieve a bigger sound—something like a double-tracked guitar. To do that, I initially used a dual delay set to 20ms and 50ms to make my sound bigger, but it still sounded like a delay. It was an improvement over just one signal, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

So, I came up with this idea. Unfortunately, in the FM3, we only have one of each when it comes to amps and cabs, so here's what I did: I split my signal with the Vol/Pan block. The top path is the left, and the bottom is the right. Then, I added a mono digital delay at 20ms, set as clean as possible—just giving a bit of delay (duh) to my signal, with some latency.

After that, I set the input to stereo on the cab block, with two different cabs receiving each signal. The result? Amazing. It was closer to a studio sound than I expected.

Hope it helps someone out there!

Enhancer block classic mode does the exact same thing with less DSP usage, just put it in series at the end of your preset. I have it always on when practicing or playing live. Moves the guitar out of the center of the mix so it's much easier to hear because it's not competing with as much other content. Unfortunately not possible on FM3, but combining the Enhancer with slightly different amps hard panned makes it even wider and more natural sounding.
 
Yeah use the classic enhancer block in place of the two volume blocks and delay block. It will save you some CPU.
