Note

The presets supplied here (at present time) are from the Ultra Model. In the 4.x series the Ultra and Standard Axe shared the same 128 presets duplicated on Banks A and B.

In the 5.x series Cliff introduced major new features via firmware update. This was accompanied by new preset Banks A and B for the Ultra to take advantage of these new features. The presets then differed for the Ultra vs. Standard. The Ultra now had 256 unique presets while the Standard remained unchanged.

The list of Ultra only presets have been identified here. This allows users to use the remainder of the new Ultra presets on their Standard Model for an increased factory library.
