October 2024: Fractal Audio's VP4 Virtual Pedalboard has been added to the wiki.
Delay block
The AFXII adds improvements to the Delay block: a two-band parametric EQ for the wet signal with low-cut and high-cut with adjustable slopes for the cut filters. The EQ stuff is on a separate GUI page with a graphical display. Source
Delay blocks now have a master feedback that goes to 200% for oscillating delay effects. Source
The tape delays model the preamp too. Source
Matman: "Axe-Fx II leaves the Ultra in the dust for delay flexibility. ALL your sounds are in here. Bit reduction. 4-band parametric EQ in the loop Hi and Low Cut... 12/24/48 db slope... Q control. 2 mid bands with selectable Q, gain, freq. HOLD switch. Master feedback goes over 100%. 60+ different tempo settings. Better TIME parameter resolution. Plus all the original flexibility of the Ultra/Standard." Source
The Axe-Fx has two different types of Delay blocks. The regular Delay is a basic delay with enhancements. The second is a complex Multi-Delay (separate How-to). The regular Delay has 5 modes: ▪ “Mono”: both inputs are summed and only the left delay line is used ▪ “Stereo”: independent left and right delay times and feedback ▪ “Ping-Pong”: criss-crosses the signal so that the echoes ping-pong left and right ▪ “Dual”: allows full control over the delay block providing controls for all parameters ▪ "Reverse”: mono reverse playback The Ultra's Delay block has an additional mode: Looper (separate How-to). ▪ The Delay provides a low-cut and high-cut filter to simulate old analog delays. Use the Filter Slope parameter to increase the speed of the roll-offs ▪ There are also two delay time modulators for modulated delay trails (there’s no dedicated modulated delay mode). Alternatively, place the delay in a parallel path (mix at 100% of course) and add a chorus or flanger behind it to modulate the trails ▪ Delay trails can be carried over to the next preset.
