Single Guitarist... Wanting to thicken up my tone a bit live

[bionicmark]

One of two things...

I'm not sure what kind of cab you're using, but you can always have another 1x12 or 4x12 (whatever it is you're using) on the opposite side of the stage.

Or, run another xlr and mic off your cab (in this case you'd need a 2x12 or 4x12 cab) and take up another channel on the board. Run one channel slightly lower than the main channel and add 250 milliseconds of delay on the lesser volume channel at the board. That's the easiest & least cost effective fix. It WILL sound huge FOH.

Well, this thing is awesome. Absolutely love ALMOST everything about it.

Unfortunately it has one fatal flaw. No matter how I have set it, where it is in my chain etc... Any time I do a pinch harmonic, it has this horrible digital popping sound. I called TC and they tried to help me but couldn't. i went up the road to GC to try it on a different amp and it did this same thing. Even tried one GC had used in stock and it did the same. Frustrating. I picked up a Carbon Copy (my 4th ive owned now) and I guess I am sending this Mimiq back.

Bummer, man. I haven't run into that problem myself. Wonder if it's a certain pickup config or what?

Carbon Copy's a great pedal though. Love that damn thing to death when I'm in the mood for delay.

I just got an Eventide Pitchfactor. That will widen and thicken the tone but good. It's an always-on pedal for me. I'm not even playing in stereo and it's killer in getting the EVH Balance tones and more.
Sounds like Brad Gillis' huge tones on the Speak Of The devil album. That and some delay on the solos and it will fill in a trio.

I have experimented with a few different setups but my favorite so far is using my main head with a different, second head as a slave. The main head and slave have different power sections and run through different speakers so even though they are both using the same preamp signal it really fills out the sound and adds some extra body to it.
