Nice and syrupy. Reminds me of the TC 2290 delay, which had a chorus feature and optional 2k, 4K, 8k shelf. I’ve never owned a 2290 but there are emulations I’m used to. Do you often use a chorus or thickener? Seems the first time I notice. Are you experimenting with blocks? The options are quite deep. Really like it.
@@jimshomestudio Jim your ears are well tuned! I shouldn't be surprised, though. Your mixes are always phenomenal. For this guitar, on my last two videos, I switched to a Texas Star clean on my FM3 which is based on a Mesa Lone Star. For this track specifically, I dialed up my stereo chorus to 30% and it's based on the Dytronics Songbird, I believe. I normally have it set to 11-12% for just a little extra thickness, but this backing track had a lot of harmony so I wanted my lead to harmonize as well. I also boosted the mix on my Aurora multi Delay, based on the Keeley Halo. I also changed the reverb from a studio to room with a little boost. Thanks for the comment! Always a pleasure hearing from you.
@ i have a few chorus go to’s. There’s an old Eventide feature called Micropitch that was used on all the classics up through the 80s. A good example is Boston’s first album. That taught me how to hear chorus, which has that slight wandering pitch, up and down. When I was younger I had a Boss Dimension D, but I must’ve given that away. These days I have TC’s 1210 which is weird to conventional. And the Harmonizers these days have a good collection of Chorus, but you sometimes need to mute your dry signal path and just keep the chorus effect. Never understood that, and still like to keep my dry signal mixed in, which helps my recordings but dilutes the chorus effect so bad I end up putting a flanger plugin on the effects channel. Always interested in how it’s supposed to be done. Watched a LOT of programming Fractal videos from Gurtej Singh and Leon Todd, where the insane power of an AxeFX can be exploited in exactly the same way you would do in a studio with outboard. Sounds like you have your signal routed in series, where the effect is most prominent. Hope it’s a happy holiday for you and the fam Chad.
On a side note, you’re familiar with Floyd Rose bridges? I just got my very first, and discovered a parts company called FU-Tone. I ordered some screws and bolts that are colored to match the guitar, so I want to ‘bling’ it out. That’s when I got paranoid that I could screw it all up and started watching the tech videos how (and how not to) set them up. Wish me luck, that’s my X mas gift to me this year.
@@jimshomestudio Yeah, I've experimented with parallel signal paths but they never seem to meld quite right to my ears. I typically go input>compressor>drive>amp>cab>chorus>delay>reverb in series and just blend with the mix knobs on each block.
Awesome sound 👏🎸
@@ziofender6699 Trying to get less sizzle and more tone... You still got the smoothest sound around, my friend!
Great playing. Subscribed
