How to get a HUGE/WIDE tone?

[deakle]

I play mainly through my Blue Ella headphones which provide an excellent stereo sound for my purposes. I am after that tone where the guitar sounds really huge and wide. Would I be better served to use a stereo chorus, reverb or maybe the micro-pitch? Or a combination of all 3?

Sure - also the enhancer block - test all 3 settings until you get it wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

Delays with one side out of phase like the 2290 sound super wide through cans too.

enhancer classic mode set with max width before dual left input / right input attached hard panned amps + cab IRs

Use shorter delay times if you want things to be less obviously "effected", but this tutorial was a revelation to me. You cannot get truly wide without some temporal anomalies.

Be careful if you ever mix to mono. That kind of stuff can get weird, or disappear.

I like reverb, personally.

All I can say is, if you want huge wide tone, download my preset here: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/a-lot-of-tone-for-only-60-cpu.188863/ Let me know what you think !

Enhancer Stereoizer mode is my favorite.

Place your monitors further apart

Copy the PITCH block out of the PETRUCCI RIG preset and into whatever preset you're playing through.

2 similar amps+cabs hard panned, enhancer block on classic mode, stereo reverb. That's the closest I've been able to get to actual double tracking with the Axe-FX III. This is really useful live when playing through IEMs or at home through headphones.

Just finished the cheesecake, and not near the axe fx. Is this a factory preset ?

Tried that - really made the "bottom end" a lot bigger!

Try delaying one cab 24 milliseconds.

Enhancer block, stereoizer setting for a more natural sound, Modern for WIIIDE but little less natural.

"bottom end"
