If you're running out of filtering options, I'd suggest splitting first with a crossover block and then filtering those two signals down further with filter blocks.
Also, you're recombining the mid and high signals at the drive block -- was that what you meant to do? You'd be doubling some frequency content doing that by summing the two signals at the input to the drive block. Might account for your "mid band seems a lot wider" problem? Try using two drive blocks and not combining the lines after you split them until you're post-AMP blocks?

Another great tip thanks!I'd also consider combining the three signals using a Mixer block. It gives you a single place to balance each line's level and pan them if you want. And then put your gate block after the Mixer block.
You've got plenty of CPU so go wild with more blocks!![]()
Another consideration regarding "cutting the same frequencies" is that the plug-in isn't showing the Q and you'd want to make sure your Filter blocks use the same Q.
Ive found it REALLY difficult to get the mid range like in the parallax, the low end is actually really close - I think what people are saying about the mid freq range is probably pretty important - right now im in the process of trying to find a guitar amp with that sort of tonal profile.I will admit I love Parallax on bass!!!!
It takes like seconds to get a great sound.
I would love to be able recreate something similar with the Axe 3! I’ll give these presets a go to start with!
Could you tone match it?Ive found it REALLY difficult to get the mid range like in the parallax, the low end is actually really close - I think what people are saying about the mid freq range is probably pretty important - right now im in the process of trying to find a guitar amp with that sort of tonal profile.
Please let me know what you find!
Im not sure how I'd go about doing that - should I just use 1 amp or have the signal split and do one tone match per frequency?
I'd start by matching the end of your signal chain with the output from the parallax plugin that you like.Im not sure how I'd go about doing that - should I just use 1 amp or have the signal split and do one tone match per frequency?
Yeah it lets you solo a band - I've never tried tone matching, is there a great tutorial out there?I'd start by matching the end of your signal chain with the output from the parallax plugin that you like.
Or you could do it band-by-band if the parallax lets you solo a band.
Three years later I'm here to say this sounds amazing on my dUg 12 string.Ive given up on the parallax emulation for now - but I did create a nice preset in the mean time, please take a look and tell me what you think![]()
I completely forgot I ever posted this - I should re-download it and see how it sounds to me nowadaysThree years later I'm here to say this sounds amazing on my dUg 12 string.

Agreed - I had to dial back the guitar amps a smidge and boost the bass, but the approach is rock solid. I love my Parallax plugin. It's how I found the thread!Sounds great to me! I just added more of that really low end to the signal by bumping that filter up a bit.
