Successful 12 String Simulations?

Paul LaPlaca · Jun 6th 2016

So far no luck for me.

I've tried the parallel stomp route with a chromatic pitch shift and studio EQ shelving off a bit on the top end so the E string is completely free of the effect and B string about 25%.

Also put a chorus on the other path with a crossover around 400hz or so to stabilize the bottom.

All looks good on oaoer but the tracking on the octave is sloppy and the attack is really slow, almost a volume ramp up, no pick attack at all.

Wondering if I am missing something or if anyone has any ideas?

Tough to do 12 string emulation with regular pickups

I've been looking for a way to do something like this, or even just create a clean sound for chords/strumming, which has another layer over it that either sounds like a 12-string, synths or keyboards to help fill songs up. I'd love to hear suggestions from anyone who has found a way to do this.

i use a Mosaic pedal, extremely useful.

For me, the goal is to do it with the Kemper as opposed to buying more gear.

Same here. The Kemper pitch cannot do this this as good as the Mosaic.

My thoughts about it can be found here: 12- string guitar simulation like in the Digitech Mosaic

I guess this is one for the suggestion box?

Relatively happy with the ability to choose a key for harmonies but slightly disappointed that the tracking and stability for a simple patch like this is a little wonky.

Exactly, a feature request.

I hope we get a new pitch fx that can do this, the harmonizer is great for playing single notes but useless playing chords. Listen to Allan Holdsworth playing chords, He have the greatest clean sound with effect ever.
