Bought the Fractal FX8-MultiFX early 2016 and used it mainly for home recording so far, together with my Marshall JVM410 (4CM cabling), a Rivera Rockcrusher (power attenuator) and a Radial DI-box with a good cab-sim.
I started to do Live-performances early this year with a duo-partner again.
I checked out the FX8-presets of one of our program songs "Europa" from Santana with a direct recording.
I normally only use some FX8 pre-effects (e.g. compressor, OD-effects, Wah) for the recordings.
But I was wondering how good the post effects will sound (leslie/rotor-sound and reverb) when directly recorded.
What do you think ?
Tried to stay close to the original. Having that said: the Outro part is more or less improvised in the style of CS.
Love this song since many years.
Not that easy to play to get the right sustain in the lead parts and to have a good vibrato/bending intonation. It is also challenging to stay soft and smooth in the beginning and to push the dynamics and aggressiveness towards the end of the song.
I rolled back the volume & tone knob on the Warmoth for the initial part roughly by 60%.
Played it (as CS) exclusively on the Neck pickup (Suhr Doug Aldrich).
With the exception of the cleanish Bridge part, the guitar sound is more of a modern high gain type.
Any feedback is welcome
