$Dreamy Ambient swells guitar tone : Ether - Fractal AXE FX 3 / FM3 / FM9 preset Put this tone together while piecing together a preset based on a 1959 SLP amp, its an ambient sort of tone with a few moving pieces but in essence: before the amp: chorus - for some modulation tremolo - for some movement 1/8th tempo DMM delay - 1/4 dot time for more modulation and delays , relatively low mix after the amp stereo tape delay - 1/4 tempo , higher feedback + mix , lower L/R ratio to increase width big wide reverb - to give an ethereal sort of space where this all lives once again Im using @TheOtherJohnBrowne LCFR-150 IR thanks again John!
