After playing at church today, I was chatting with our sound guy and he mentioned that for years he has thought it would be cool to have an effect that split the frequency spectrum into a few bands (just like a multi-band compressor) and applied distortion only to the mid bands, leaving the bottom end and top end undistorted. I figure if any device could pull that kind of thing off, the Axe would be it. I figure a couple filters splitting up the sound and routing it through two different amps (one clean, one distorted) could do it, but I wanted to see if anyone else had other ideas on how to pull it off. I'm going to try to see if I can mock up his idea. Maybe if it works well, the logic for the MBC could be used for performing the frequency splits and routing the selected bands through distortion without affecting the others as a new effect.
