Wish Longer delay in cab block -Solved

[MisterE]

For the trick to widen your sound - get a better stereo separation - we sometimes use the Petrucci trick.
This s a delay of 6; 9 or more milliseconds on one side of a stereo cab.
Now you can only go as high as 1 millisecond.
You need a mono delay and two volume blocks to achieve this.
This adds up to 7% CPU.
I'm sure, a simple delay in the cab block would use a lot less CPU
And with the Ax8, every % counts ;-)

Why would you need the two volume blocks ?

 

[Bakerman]

At least one volume block might be needed if the delay method was used at a certain point in the chain.

Are you already using the enhancer block in modern mode? Classic mode will do exactly what you're describing.

 

[MisterE]

Since we only have one cab block in the Ax8you need:
- one block panned 100% left
- one block panned 10% right with a delay block in series

I'm not so fond of the enhancer block

Alternatively you can use the enhancer block in classic mode. Width control = right channel delay, range 0-20 ms.

I don't like the way it sounds when using a chorus too

 

[Bakerman]

The width control in classic mode is a simple delay on one channel. A longer cab block delay would be exactly the same thing. Using a delay block is also the same, assuming no drive/mod/EQ is used in delay block.

You're absolutely right Bakerman.
I tested with 2 scenes and a looper before the amp and switched continuously between the two.
The Classic enhancer does exactly what you describe.
Thanks for the tip.
