Dude, you ROCK! As great as the fractal products are their tech-support is, well not as great as their products! You are extremely knowledgeable, talented and HELPFUL!
yeah I'm just gonna take the time to state that I just got an AX8 and you literally have an answer to all of my questions. As in I look it up on youtube and the first suggestion is you, sir. Right on!. Thanks!
Nice Video, Leon - and - you set the pitch block before Amp! Have to try this......I was never satisfied which the pitch after the cab...Would be very interesting if could dive deeper in the settings of the other page - Mstr/Track.
So funny that my Boss GX-700, made around the year 2000, had a 3 part programmable harmonizer too, with panning and volumes available for each harmony, and it sounds pretty damn good even now. Still own the it.
This helped a bunch just getting the concepts down. Sometimes I play older Satriani or Vai and I am not able to replicate them. For example, Hill of Skulls off Surfing with the Alien. More recently I have been listening to Andy James’s Arrival and he has some subtle sort of pitch I cannot recreate on the song After Midnight for example. Lastly, how to recreate that Eagles solo harmony AxeFX2? I will check out yours other videos on Harmony as well. Update: I figured out Andy James Harmony on Arrival, “After Midnight” Set to Fixed Harmony, voice 1 @ -12 voice 2 @ 16, and 30% mix. Thanks Leon! The concepts you taught helped me to figure it out.
Is it me, or do the harmony features on this device, and many others, sound more like a synthesizer more than two guitars playing in “harmony”? I own the Axe-Fx III and this is the one feature I never use. Leon, your channel is awesome and I’ve learned a great deal from your videos regarding the Axe-Fx III.
I'd say the tracking is what's giving it that synth style attack. It can be tweaked but i rarely use this so haven't had any experience doing it. AustinBuddy has a great harmony patch for the AX8.
I agree with John, I also learned from an Austin buddy video how to set custom harmony, which sounds better. I have it set on my expression pedal to do 2 custom Harmonys,pedal up off ,half way ,one harmony and down another. I use this in eagles hotel California
Hey could you do a video on the harmonies in Is This Love of Whitesnake? I once read that you have to change 2 or 3 different scales modes to cover them correctly, or write you own intervals... Not sure, it was something I read a long time ago but never got around to doing it myself. PS: To do it right you have to do it using the 2 voices for up and down harmonies no?
how do you create ( custom? ) a harmony such as Come Together - Beatles where there harmony interval changes from a 4th below to a 5th below? Another example is My Sweet Lord, where you need to have the harmony go into a second octave with a different interval?
Greetings Leon, hope you are well...i am curious how well you like the way the notes track with this as compared to say, something I use like the Boss PS-6 harmonizer pedal? I have always been dissatisfied with pitch shift/harmony pedals they just never seem to track well. Have a good one! :)
Hi Leon Could you take on a challenge? I have gotten a lot out of your tutorials. I have a meris pollymoon Pedal that I love but can't seem to be able to get the same sound from my AX8, I think if any one can it's you, HELP!! Thanks.
AustinBuddy is using the custom scale feature.. I was referring to using custom note(s) in the Intelligent Pitch block.. I am curious how to set that up and when it would be the better option...
Hi, having AX8 I tried to setup the harmony from Orion (Metallica) time 4:17 on. But without success because it seems to be triple harmony and more over the pitch shifting on each harmony part is not the same pitch interval… so do you think is it possible with AX8 ? I mean with “intelligent” pitvh shifting or something like this ? Thakns

Too much fun! Thanks for sharing, Leon.

Very informative, Ill start experimenting with pitch block after watching this!
Sounds great Leon! but if you put the pitch block after the amp and before the cab the effect sounds much cleaner Six!
I'll have to try that out, cheers!
Leon Todd how did it work?
Perfect timing Leon! Need to set up harmonies a 5th and an octave above for the last chorus of Dani California. Very helpful

Super cool bro. Thanks for this video
Great Sir. u r amazing
Leon! You are my hero!
Awesome ..... thank you !
Nice Editing, getting right down to the matter… No fat!
Thanks. I figure the last thing anyone wants is to hear an Aussie drone on endlessly. Play more guitar!
Awesome thanks !

HEY TODD! how about something like this, but for the Axe 3?
I own the fx8 and i can’t get it to work! Should it be such a differense to the ax8??
Hi Leon Could you take on a challenge? I have gotten a lot out of your tutorials. I have a meris pollymoon Pedal that I love but can't seem to be able to get the same sound from my AX8, I think if any one can it's you, HELP!! Thanks.
Thanks for coming back to the pitch block... how about custom notes to intelligent pitch?
I'll have to figure that out, thanks for the suggestion.
Leon Todd - Same here.. something about the custom notes and the intelligent harmony isn’t clicking for me ... thanks

Look up "custom scales" - it may be possible that way!
is it possible to find this tone somewhere?
Hi Leon, what pickups do you have in your strat? Thanks

Does the pitch block have the ability to drop tune such as the Whammy DT
Yeah you can use it in poly mode. honestly not it's strongest suit though.
I think the pitch shifter is very awfull in the AX8, unfortunatelly I was not able to have good results.
How you can match killing in the name pitch part, tried but not close to the actual sound
Try the classic whammy with an expression controller
thanks for the response, did it before but sound diff, will continue checking and tweaking ;)
Ace Frehley les paul back there?
It's a Greco replica ;)
