F.U.C.K. vs Balance Tone: SLO-100, 5150 Reissue, or x88ir for the ultimate '90s Ed rig?

The Axe-Fx does a great EVH detune effect. The detune effect is honestly one of the more important elements of his tone from that era. I think the detune I dialed in here might be a bit overdone but it was more for illustrating the effect.

1 dry
2 pitch mono
3 pitch stereo
4 pitch stereo + delay

I had Kemper/Fractal/Helix/Tonex and they do the trick but at some point I was not feeling the dynamics and the "under the finger" feeling while playing them.

If you don't like the amp modeling, you can always use it as an effects only thing in the loop of your amp.

I do like it and I keep going back to them time to time. The Kemper "Brown Sound" pack from Top Jimmy was dead on.

Also the modeling stuff is awesome, you are playing VH Sammy area and half second later you are playing Hendrix, it's very convenient.

I have been waiting for the AXE FX IV to come up so I can buy a III - Guess it's another topic

Great demonstration of how important the stereo delays make to this tone widening the tone.

Yep. Even that thread he necrobumped from 15 years ago was at least thoughtful and not just "cool".

I'm not the expert in the room on this but I love how the TC Mimiq spreads the tone out right in front of me when I stand in front of the two cabs.
