Wish Wish please - Mimic (Mimiq) Block

sprint said:
+1 - mine has gotten complicated partly because I have my rig set up to select either Enhancer or Mimiq or HX Double Take. I thought HX double take would eliminate Mimiq, but it's not quite there (I find the transitions the HX does are too pronounced compared to Mimiq which "wanders" more smoothly / pleasently

Same, not a fan of the double take, it’s way too obvious and unnatural sounding. The retro reel however, with modulation off, is JUICY

One side of the signal (left in my case) goes untouched and does not pass through the pedal. The other side of my signal (R) goes through the mono In/Out of my stereo Mimiq pedal (set to 1 voice, all wet, no dry, tightness at noon). This yields the full (and best imo) effect of the pedal (I'm not keen on >1 voice - also why I think the mini (mono only) Mimiq version is really all one needs (the stereo multi dub aspects
of the stereo pedal are not great or
superfluous imo).

Ok that makes sense. So basically it’s exactly the same as running the normal way on the "1 dub" setting, but you’re just bypassing the dry side of the pedal completely. So you’re splitting your guitar’s signal before the mimiq. Gotcha.

probs a dumb question but are you guys using this pedal : gtr>mimiq>axe fx or using the mimiq in an effects loop configuration and just placing those In/Out blocks before 2 separate amps in the grid that each have their own signal path? any panning of these amp blocks also?

hardpanned amps - wherever mimiq is placed it needs a stereo path after it. Sounds slightly better before hard panned amps to my ear but good after as well.

When I was using it I just ran the right (processed) side in front of a second amp. On 1 dub mode the left side has no processing so there’s no reason to run it thru more cabling and another round of AD/DA conversion. So you can actually just use the mini pedal 100% wet on one side for the same effect. Both amps hard panned. Using slightly different amps / cabs hard panned helps with the width and realism of the stereo image in addition to whatever else the mimiq is doing.
 
Maybe we could get a Delay Block, which can be controlled by a modifier in random mode like the pitch block?. Together with the pitch block this should do the work of the mimiq pedal.

That's a nice effect, but no, that's not how a Mimiq works. A mimiq shifts the delay in response to an attack envelope, not randomly. And it doesn't do any pitch shifting.
 
How is it that a specified range of random delay will not suffice for doubling effect?

I’m guessing there’s subtleties missing that makes all the difference in the world? Like earlier notes by the doubled recorded track …etc

When you sweep the delay time, you get a momentary pitch shift. For instance, if you’re telling the delay to be shorter, you’re telling the delayed signal to happen sooner. That means that the waveform has to be shortened, and the peaks and valleys of the waveform get pushed closer together until the delay time catches up to where you want it to be. So you get a temporary rise in pitch. If you sweep the delay time back and forth, that’s the how a chorus effect is made.

Compare that to actual doubling of the signal, where there is a random difference in the attack time of a note, but the waveform is unchanged.

Isn’t the signal still the same length just happening sooner or later though?

Double tracking effect would be an awesome option during solos! 😍🥰
