Thanks to Joseph White for the suggestion of running the Halo with the Lore. I've taken it one step further and popped the Very Good Amp Company's FUZZ into the picture too, along with Danelectro's '66BT Baritone. A good mix for a party!

This video was made for fun. No solicitation was entered into - but it was a cool suggestion!

About the signal path for those interested:

1. The Dano goes to the Fuzz.
2. The Fuzz goes to the Axe's front input.
3. The Axe is running a good old 'blackface' 60s Princeton Reverb model with a little room reverb. My favourite.
4. After the Axe's cab block (1x10" Princeton) I send the signal to the LORE via Axe's Output 3 (left - mono).
5. The LORE sends its mono signal to the HALO. (To Halo's left mono input).
6. The HALO sends its stereo left and right outputs back to the Axe's Input 3, left and right.
That completes my FX loop in the Axe.
7. The LORE + HALO loop is mixed (post cab) with the Fuzz/Guitar/Princeton signal (pre amp); summed to the Axe's Output 1 and sent to Logic via USB.
8. I master in Logic at 48/24 with its native plugs and generally use the 'Classical' master preset as it's natural and airy.
9. Final Cut Pro X masters the lot and I up it to you.
9. Done.

This may sound complicated, but it's not really. The Axe makes my twanging and demo life enjoyable and easy. And that's why I love it.
