What do you guys think about this? I was avoiding to use 2 Amp blocks with my XL cause 2nd amp block was changing amp resolution from Hi to Low (which i can easily hear if i just listen - hear the guitar track).
But with the Axe FX 3 its possible. Having a 2nd amp block doesnt change the Amp Resolution. So i am working on this now: 2 Amp blocks, both Hipower Jumpered. One set to Glassy Clean and the other one fully pushed (Both inputs and Master Volume) maxed. Then with the mixer block via the 4 channels it has i can get 4 different mixes:
A: Clean (Amp Block 1)
B: Edge of Break Up (Amp 1 + Amp 2)
C: More drive (Amp 1 + more of Amp 2)
D: Full drive (just Amp 2 or blend Amp 1 to taste)
With Mixer blocks output Level its easy to match Levels of each channel.
Anyone doing this? What do you guys think?
for recording purposes i am definately gonna start using 2 amp and 2 cab blocks and blending different amps. I think this can be key to getting different-signature guitar tones and not repeating the same ones from last 50 years....i know i know, there are folks out there doing this kind of thing for decades, i am new to this idea.
side note: amp channel switching has still gap and its not seamless as in other blocks. cab block also has a dropout when you change channels.
