My band maybe about to cover one or two songs by KORN. I don't own a 7-string guitar and even if I did I wouldn't be able to bring another guitar to the gig because of lack of space in my car. I considered using the pitch shifter on the Axe-II but not only does there seem to be significant latency but the Pitch block seems to do really strange things to the sound of the preset (artifacts, garbling, strange EQ stuff). Also, if I lower the guitar's pitch the required high notes will then be out of reach.
I've decided instead I'll just use my 6-string ESP in D standard and omit the Root note of the chords, allowing the bass to fill out the rest. In Korn, the bass is largely adding percussive sounds to the ensemble rather than bottom end, with the guitars providing much of the low end girth. Is there anything I could do with my preset to create the low B-string grunt? (Raise Depth?) Or should I leave it to our bassist to provide the missing low-end?
