Shimmer Pad [Video]

[Whynot Jansveld]

Hey guys, I’ve had this shimmer pad in my main preset for a while now, and while I use it on bass, it works great on guitar or any other instrument as well. I designed it not so much as a reverb type effect but more as a ghostly atmospheric pad that kind of hovers in the background, reacting to what you play. Great for sound design and such, or to add a layer to a song. It's made up of just 3 blocks, which of course you can freely combine with your favorite amp setup. Hope it’s useful to somebody, enjoy!

Excellent and informative video! So useful how you explain what certain parameters do in such an easy way to understand, every guitarist/bassist should watch this! I thought I had a good grasp on some of those parameters but I learned a thing or 2 from this.

Thank you for sharing, I hope you make more!

Great stuff.

I used a stock preset from the AxeFX Ultra on one of our songs that this reminds me of:

I wasn't able to recreate that sound when I switched to the AX8, so this will be a fitting replacement , tvm!
