Rotary sound is weak

[King George]

Hi fellow players,
I just got my FX8 and am having trouble getting a lush rotary sound like my Strymond mobius pedals makes. Any suggestions on what parameters to change to make the sound good?

If these don't rock your rotary boat I don't know what will.

What were you doing for these?

Here's the preset: http://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=3975

You can extract the ROT block from the preset using Frac-Tool.

In this preset the ROT block is after the AMP+CAB block in the signal chain -- something that would be impossible to do with an FX8 + real amp (unless you're using a load box and another power amp maybe?). Should behave reasonably well between the preamp and your power amp if you're running in 4CM.

It really demands stereo to get it to swirl in the room. In mono it throbs pretty well though. You can play with the low frequency depth to adjust the throb.

How would that work for my FX8 though?

Thanks for sending this and replying. The sound is nice but not as good as Stymon Mobius. Is there a way to contact Fractal tech's??

Do you have a reference clip so we can first try to see if it's doable?

Listen to this

 

[simeon]

try it before the amp.

stereo spread = 0
drive = 6
hi depth = 50
low depth = 50
mix = 100%

How do u get the speed to increase?
And how do u get more depth?

I am trying every setting and all I get is warble no rotary like my mobius. Any fine tuning suggestions?

Use Rate to control speed.

There are separate Depth controls for Hi and Low.

The Mix control also affects the over all "depth" of the effect.

 

[King George]

Thanks for that!
Does anyone know how to assign tap Tempo to your delay?

For Delay you assign the delay time to a specific tempo, as opposed to a time in MS. It will adjust based on the tap tempo. I'm assuming here, since I am an Axe Fx user not FX-8.

 

[unix-guy]

By the way, I would strongly encourage you to read the manual!

Block are basically the same. Again they are Brilliant over there..
