Fine Young Canibals She Drives Me Crazy

I had a request to do this song in a cover project of mine. The overdriven tone has a kind of swell effect. Is this done with a shimmer drive or a short volume auto swell on AX8? Any idea how to set the delay on the verse guitar parts? Thanks in advance!

The OD sounds like it's being pretty tightly gated.

 

[thegrizman]

OK great thanks I never considered that it was gated I can try that.

 

[levipeto]

Yes, but it's gated after the reverb!

Not hearing any delay on the guitar. Sounds like the distorted chords has some chorus and are doubled or there is a second guitar playing. I wouldn't worry about the tones, just you a clean amp and turn on a rat drive during the chorus sections

I did some work on this over the weekend and hope to put up my first preset to the forum. The gate suggestions were spot on as I would never have guessed that. I did X/Y on amps and it is pretty close so far between the overdriven and clean guitar parts. I may try the Metal Zone for the overdriven tone instead. I tried it on another 80s patch and it really nailed it. I hated that pedal when I owned it so have not touched it on the AX8 but is great for distortion. with bass rolled off.
