Hi guys,
I just got inspired to learn the end solo to Hotel California yesterday and started looking into doing to harmony thing at the end. Using Mark Day's preset as a starting point I created a new preset with his custom scale on my Ax8. It didn't sound right and today I used his preset on my Axe Fx 2 and made sure I copied the setting from his pitch block and it sounded much better on the Axe Fx 2. So I started doing some A/B testing and what seems to happen is that it's tracking quite slow so when I play it creates sort of a wobbly sound, not very pleasing at all. Here's a Soundcloud recording of them both after another, the Ax8 first (recorded into my iPhone - it's not really about sounds quality and you can hear what's going on):
As you can hear, the Axe Fx 2 sounds much tighter.
Is this a known problem with the Ax8 or somethings that's being worked on at all? Or does anyone know of any workarounds or have I screwed up the config? I tried the Economy setting but that just made things worse.
I've attached the screenshot of the pitch config and the preset for reference.
