Is there anything specific you want to ask or suggest in return?
Nothing much to ask, but I can suggest a few specifics to flesh out my previous answer. There are higher gain Distortion choices, but I’d go with Sculpt. If need be, boost it using In & Out Gain controls at the Preset or Program level.
Split Mode with ‘spectral panning effects’ enhances the multiple guitar illusion, along with offset Delay A & B times in Diatonic. But this will also work in mono, or for input + one guitar harmony.
Core Program:
- Change the Key, Scale, Pitch A & Pitch B to match song harmonies.
- Program, Diatonic & Sculpt Mix all fold in some pick attack from the clean input.
- Adjust the Gate Threshold for balancing sustain vs. compression noise buildup.
QOL Enhancements:
- Control the Pitch Mix with [A] HotKnob, Band Mix with HotKnob, and [P] HotKnob for control over both.
- EXP pedal mapping to tame down the Low & High Drive, while dropping the X-Over frequency.
- This being the ’80’s, EXP also controls the mandatory wah action [Filter Pre, Filter Post, Env Filter Sens] here.
