Hey guys, this weekend I gotta lead our college worship service with no keyboard player. I know the Axe can do what I'm talking about, and I just wanted see if I'm thinking of this right and to get some different takes on how you guys might approach this.
If you wanted to play guitar and have a background kind of pad sound going on with you (I'm talking more of the "illusion" of a keyboard player being there, to where you can't really notice it big time, but if it was gone, you'd notice it wasn't there), how might you accomplish this?
I'm thinking of taking a delay or multi-delay "crystal" kind of sound, set to unisons or octaves (no fifths or such for my purposes), and setting the delay tempo to that of the song itself (dotted eighths or eighths depending). I'd maybe put a reverb after they delay made to sound "in the background" to get it out of the mix a bit. Then, I'd make the delay repeats set to only one or two so they don't muddy up the next chord too much. Would it be a good idea to put these effects all in a row OTHER than the amp row to separate them a bit from the guitar sound?
That's my take on it. Anyone see anything wrong about this or something better?
Thanks bros,
Shane Jr.
