Classic FX ver. 2.2 new features walkthrough

An excellent overview of the new features of Classic FX version 2.2 from Gavinski’s Tutorials.

Gavin McCloskey writes:

"This is a really excellent update of Classic FX by Igor Vasiliev that brings the app to a new level. I think this is a somewhat under appreciated and misunderstood app. In the video I will talk about the 3 main new features and show you how to use the brilliant new triple-linked lfo section, which looks very complex at first, but is easy once you figure it out. I’ll show you how this app can be used for subtle effects but can also get pretty batshit crazy, which, let’s face it, is what a lot of us hope for in an app from Igor Vasiliev."

Processing guitar with the Classic FX app

Two great examples of how to make your guitar sound more interesting with the Classic FX app.

Almost all presets are suitable for changing the sound of a guitar. Some of the presets enhance the sound and make it smoother and more atmospheric. More drastic presets will add distortion and oversaturation.

For any preset, you can set the level of its presence at the output using the "Effect mix" control.

For more details on effects and parameters, see the app description.

Classic FX ver. 2.2 has been released

Classic FX version 2.2 released with a new LFO option and even more processing algorithms and presets.

In this update a new LFO option has been added for automating morphing between the two effect slots A and B. Now you have three linked LFOs to create more complex waveforms to modify the morphing. Or you can use one LFO for simple automation. Each LFO has two ranges, fast and slow and two types of waveforms. You can set the LFO frequency in beats synchronized with the main BPM, or in seconds. Also you can see the final waveform of all the LFOs on a graph at different scales.

This update brings six new processing algorithms based on reverse delay, saturation and distortion. These new algorithms Back Talk, Bitcrusher, Oversaturate, Gated Echo, Gated Reverse and Shining will give a completely new sound to any instrument or voice, from soft saturation and ambient fuzziness to sharp and hard overdrives and bit reduction.

Complex and integrated effects sound much more varied and interesting than simple effect modules, and will give you the opportunity not to waste time looking for combinations of single effects, but to start creative work with the sound of your instruments right away.
