YesCan it now? I’ve been waiting for that
Man, when I see posts like this I realize I really do not know WTF I am doing with the FX on the Axe, parameter overload. Thanks for sharing this AB!
Would love to see more people doing/sharing custom FX blocks like this. Will have to look at FracTool from @AlGrenadine ; I think it can convert blocks now... I have a good library of them from my II where I copped settings from some of the folks that are really master FX guys like @fremen and @simeon who have been kind enough to share things with the community as well.
Have you tried turning up the swirl, gurgle, spit, and puke parameters?There is no way I can accurately emulate my Electric Mistresses (late 70s) with the Axe FX. I've owned two, and each one had a unique signature. Each produced a complex noise that interacted with the signal. It would swirl, gurgle, spit, and puke in very unique ways at different points of the LFO period. I could easily tell which unit I was listening to just by listening to the noise they produced. They also distorted in unique ways. And neither had anything close to a logarithmic LFO waveform. They were both triangles, though not perfect ones. These EMs seemed like they had very poor quality control and poor quality components. I don't see how it's possible to replicate, considering the fact that the variation between instances is huge. I haven't tried a contemporary example. Maybe things have changed.

That's like the first Rush lick i learned years ago!
AustinBuddy - when you are done with the EM I could use a "Spirit in the Sky" frizzy fuzz tone; one that has that low end signal that sounds like you are only getting the tops and bottoms of very clipped note waveforms; the low end almost farty sound; pick your description. Sorry for minor hijack
Master Fuzz, turn the bias all the way down to get that gated/voltage starved tone, roll the tone pot way back on your guitar, neck pickup, ideally a tele, and finger pick. Will get you 95% there
I tried to import the 2 blocks in their respective folders but had an error report when the Axe edit refreshes the blocks definitions. Anybody had the same issue ?
The settings are visible on page 1 but I'd like to know, in case I missed something when importing the blk files. I'm still with FW5.06, maybe it has to do with that ? Thanks.
You know I never tried this before - can't wait to try it? What a great tip @bradlake!The easiest way to do this now on the III AFAIK, is just drag and drop the BLK file
Right on top of an existing block of the same type, then save the block.
actually....it may not work as I thought it did , as I now cannot locate that saved block....working on sorting it out now.You know I never tried this before - can't wait to try it? What a great tip @bradlake!

I have no idea. I made it on firmware 5.07.
I'm all for going all out to replicate specific effects. I like the example 2112 posted. The vibe is there, but the LFO shapes of mine were different. The first half of that clip sounds very much like my old units, but neither of mine lingered at the extremes of the sweep. The second half doesn't really sound like them at all though.Where there is a will, there is a way...paging @Admin M@ !
It is possible you have to put two flangers in parallel...maybe the first is log and second
Is triangle...combined we might get something...we are zero’ing in on this...
