Ambient modulated soundscapes, using automatic volume swells, Plex Delay for detuned stereo delays, chorus and high-feedback flanger. Play slowly. Amp: Archean. FM3 and FM9: liter versions.
007 - REVERB CRYSTALS (Axe-Fx) // CRYSTAL REVERB // CRYSTALS REVERB (FM9)

Simulates a church organ, using the Plex Delay block in Plex Shift mode with stereo panning and "Cathedral" reverb. A Drive block adds grit to the sound. The slow attack comes from the Input Envelope in the Plex Delay. No cab block. Play slowly. The "Lon Chaney" scene refers to the organ sound in classic horror movies with actor Lon Chaney.

12-string simulation (Rickenbacker) through two amp blocks (FM3: single amp). Amp(s): Double Verb.
043 - DUAL AMP DUAL DELAY // CLOUD DELAYS

045 - EKKOPLEK JUNIORS // PLEXES
Simulation of a vintage Echoplex tape delay with wow and flutter. Some scenes use two amps to maintain a stereo image. A synth produces background noise (Axe-Fx and FM9 only). External Controller 1 controls the speed of the tape. Amp(s): Jr Blues. The FM3 has its own version.
048 - BI-AMP PLEXIS // POLYFUZZ CROSSOVER
In the Axe-Fx and FM9 presets, a Crossover block splits the signal at a frequency point, after which the two signals are processed separately. Amp: 1987X. Previously: "PLEXI BIAMP". In the FM3 version multiple Filter blocks emphasize a fuzzed signal in different areas of the spectrum. Amp: Plexi.
050 - SATAN'S HOLLOW // SATAN'S HOLLOW FM9 // SATAN JR'S HOLLOW

LFO-controlled Wah and Multitap Delay blocks, a Megatap Delay and "Stone Quarry" reverb generate a sci-fi soundscape. The preset title possibly refers to the James Cameron movie. Amp: USA Pre. Presets are different across devices.
065 - DOUBLE DIFFUSOR // MTD DIFFUSOR FX
Rhythmic pattern from two Multitap Delay blocks in Diffusor mode. ADSR controls filter frequency and phaser rate. Previously: "DIFFUSED PHASER". FM3 and FM9: single Multitap Delay.
068 - MEDIATION WORKSHOP // MINDFUL (FM9) // MEDITATION BREAK
A very complex preset that uses a lot of internal controllers and External Controller 1 to create layers of sound. Play slowly. No amp blocks. FM3: lite version.
073 - ADRENALFLANGE / NEW JUPITER
" Adrenalflange" (Axe-Fx) has a sequencer-controlled flanger, probably based on an Adrenalinn.

092 - BOUTIQUE BATTLE // BOUTIQUE MENU
Features two "boutique" amplifiers in a dual-amp setup: Dumble (ODS-100) and Trainwreck Rocket (Wrecker Rocket), with slapback delay. The Axe-Fx and FM9 presets use two amps in a dual setup, while the FM3 version switches amp channels.
096 - RAINY NIGHTS III // RAINY NIGHTS FM3
Soothing guitar sound, using overdrive, delay, bias tremolo, spring / cavern reverb, chorus, dual compressors and stereo enhancer. The Volume block is tied to a scene controller to smoothen scene changes. Verify that the Sequencer is running. Amp: Deluxe Verb.

098 - ARPEGGIATOR M@DNESS (B MIN) // ARPEGGIATOR M@DNESS FM9 // ARPEGGIATOR M@DNESS FM3
Psychadelic arpeggio through a phaser, reminding of early Pink Floyd. Make sure to try all scenes. The arpeggiator engages through an envelope follower.
