HD500x - two guitars

[Nick_1973]

I'm trying to find a way to get two tones at the same time from one guitar. What i'd like to recreate is the tone of are you gonna go my way by Lenny Kravitz. I've got a good enough sound, but i'd like to find a way to play one octave up, at the same time as the original tone. Make sense?

 

When you listen to the song, Lenny is playing one octave up, over the original. Easily done with two guitarists, but can it be done with one?

Have you tried using the Octaver FX block?

i can recreate the octave of the original tone wit the pitch glide, but what i need to be able to do is play both at the same time. Could i split the path and run two signal chains?

The Pitch Glide effect has a "mix" parameter that allows you to mix the unaffected sound with the transposed one as you like, and this would be the simplest solution.

 

But if you need 2 separate outputs, one of which is transposed, then the only solution (DSP resources available allowing) is to create 2 same parallel chains, one in Path A and the other in Path B and put the pitch glide only in one of these, and in the mixer block make sure that one Path goes all the way to the left output and the other to the right one.

Absolutely. 

 

 

In fact, even without the specific octave feature you are looking for, having two chains running two different sets of tones can make you sound like 2 guitarists.
