Mysterious Ways - Axe-FX Patch - All Settings Revealed....

Okay- here are the settings for getting my Mysterious Ways sound in your Axe-FX. This sound, like all guitar information, shouldn't be a secret. I hope this inspires some of the other players out there to be more forthcoming about helping other players out and explaining their methods. The internet should be a learning tool, not a showing-off tool...

I added a Phaser after the filter and put a modifier on the Depth control in the shape of a smiley face - Start 91.7 / Mid 46.5 / End 100% - that seemed to add some grit and give more of the scooped sound.

I also got the Filter to close momentarily by changing the slope on the Q:

Start 100

Mid 65

End 96.5

Slope 93.3

The cutoff now becomes totally dependent on the THRESHOLD and ATTACK which will vary with your guitar. The RELEASE needs to be very fast.

@DownhillingGuitarist - Awesome. Glad you are experimenting.  Post a clip?

Why didn't you just use the preset?

@LukeAir2008 - What do you mean? Which preset are you talking about?

Ive just bought an axe ultra last week so your videos have been such a pleasure to watch. However mine didnt come with a manual so ive been on the fractal website. So my question after watching this video is how do you get the modifier/envelope working? I used the same settings but my filter dosnt move, so im doing something wrong... In which menu do i get the envelope and how does it work with the filter? Hope you can help. Great videos by the way.

@minpinful - Do you understand that it is not supposed to sound even close to analog? This is a recreation of a sound from a digital effects unit, with a different digital effects unit. It is supposed to sound digital.

If the Axe FX has Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release there in lies the answer. You need to adjust them to closely follow the envelope of the guitars dynamics.

Thought you might want to take a look at these youtube postings.

After viewing them I realized how complex The Edge’s rig and sound is. If I were you, I’d count my lucky stars that; 1 – I could play Mysterious Ways and 2 – I only needed two effect processors to do so. Besides, it’s so soothing to stare into the bluelight of the Korg A3.

Thanks 4 sharing,

@dushiemcbag - no, this patch doesn't use a pedal. just select envelope as the controller inside the Axe-fx. Check the fractal forum and look for the threads discussing how others have used this video.
