=How to audition the factory presets yourself=
+
__TOC__
−
* If possible, use stereo studio monitors when listening to the factory presets. It makes a lot of difference and you'll hear the presets the right way.
 
−
* Use a guitar with single coil pickups. The Axe-Fx is very sensitive to the type of guitar you're using. The first 40 "basic amp" presets can sound too dark when using a guitar with humbuckers.
 
−
* Preset output levels can vary from preset to preset.
 
−
* Some presets may include a noise gate that has been set to a threshold that may not work well with your guitar.
 
−
* Some presets contain an ENH block (Enhancer) which is for stereo use only. If you're running in mono and audio output is set to “Sum L+R”, [[Phase cancellation]] may occur.
 
−
* Some presets include a Delay block with the Phase Rev parameter engaged. This is a stereo-only feature. If you're running in mono and audio output mode is set to “Sum L+R”, you may not hear any delay trails because of [[Phase cancellation]]. Switch off Phase Rev or select output mode “Copy L>R” instead.
 
−
* When using stereo output mode "Copy L > R" you'll lose the part of the signal that's hardwired to the right channel.

=Restoring factory presets=
+
=About the factory presets=
−
When saving your own presets you have to overwrite factory presets. You can restore the factory presets at any moment:
 
−
* from onboard ROM (which contains the original three banks), or
 
−
* from disk after downloading them from [http://www.fractalaudio.com/support.php Support]. They are also included with Axe-Edit. Go here for update instructions: [[Factory presets, updating]].
 
  
−
=Listing all factory presets=
+
Fractal Audio's amp modeling products come with three sets of 128 factory presets (Banks A, B, and C). Bank A showcases amp models, while Banks B and C showcase effects.
−
* User Alec Lee [https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0AlXgNa5vH3j1dGdTQVdrZ19Sblc2UmRNaVUybUZCQWc&output=html listed them all.]
 
−
* Factory preset list and banks categorized by amp type, provided by user jma (updated for firmware 6.0): [http://jma.elementfx.com/Factory_Presets_by_amp_type.zip ZIP file].
 
  
−
=Factory presets updates=
+
The VP4 has banks of four presets, from A to Z, 104 presets in total.
−
Fractal Audio may post new versions of the factory presets on the Support page after major firmware updates.
 
−
Go here for update instructions: [[Factory presets, updating]].
 
  
−
=Sound of the factory presets=
+
Factory presets are stored in regular preset slots, so you can easily clear or overwrite them. See below if you want to restore factory presets, you can do so by bank or individually.
−
* When hitting the strings in a normal manner, clean factory presets such as Bassman, Doubleverb, Shiva Clean do not and should not distort.
 
−
* When really digging in the strings, using a high-output bridge/neck humbucker, some clean presets may get into distortion a little. Don't worry, they SHOULD probably be getting into distortion, based on their settings. If you don't like that, just turn down Drive in the Amp block.
 
−
* If some factory presets easily make the Out 1 Clip LED blink, their signal level it too hot. Just turn down Level in the Amp block to solve this.

Fractal Audio updates the factory presets periodically and makes them available on the [https://www.fractalaudio.com website] and the [https://forum.fractalaudio.com/whats-new/posts/6512952/ user forum]. Older versions can be downloaded from the [http://archive.axefx.fr unofficial archive].

=Install or reinstall factory presets=
 +
 
 +
Fractal Audio provides a separate bank file for each bank:
 +
* Bank A: 000-127
 +
* Bank B: 128-255
 +
* Bank C: 256-383
 +
 
 +
In addition, an <q>All-Banks</q> file that contains ALL three banks is included. Always read the included <q>READ_ME.txt</q> file for more up-to-date information.
 +
 
 +
The VP4 has a single bank file with all factory presets.
 +
 
 +
Use [[Fractal-Bot]], either the embedded version inside the Edit application associated with your unit, or by using the standalone version, to upload a <samp>.syx</samp> bank file to the hardware.
 +
 
 +
Want to import a single preset from a bank file? Just use the Import function in the Edit menu. First, pick a bank and then select the preset you want to bring in. Or, you can use the Preset Manager in the editor to see all the presets in a bank or all-banks file. In the left browser pane, drag or browse to the bank file you want to import and let the editor scan it. Then, you can pick the presets you want and drag them to the slots you need.
 +
 
 +
Don't forget to refresh the list of presets in the editor's Preset Picker window or Manage Presets window, afterwards. Clicking the Refresh Button ([[Image:Refresh_button.png|16px|Refresh button]]) is the quick way.
 +
 
 +
=Auditioning factory presets=
 +
 
 +
* If you're not the first owner of the device, start by reading and following the steps in <q>[https://support.fractalaudio.com/en-US/how-to-reset-axe-fx-iii-fm9-or-fm3-to-a-%22factory-fresh%22-condition-310660 How to reset Axe-Fx III, FM9, or FM3 to a "factory fresh" condition]</q>.
 +
 
 +
:The previous owner could have modified, moved, or deleted factory presets, which can change your perception of how the presets and the modeler actually sounds. Ensuring the unit is in a <q>factory fresh</q> state is the first step toward your best experience.
 +
* The presets are configured for [[FRFR]] output devices such as studio monitors, headphones, etc., with Amp Modeling and Cab Modeling enabled in the [[Setup menu]], and using the instrument input on the device.
 +
* The VP4 factory presets are split in banks, dedicated to different configurations and instruments: PRE, POST, Bass/Acoustic, 4CM.
 +
* The factory presets use Input 1 (instrument) and Output 1 with amplifier and speaker cabinet modeling and are configured for stereo output.
 +
* You can use an expression pedal in presets which use External Controller 1; For instance, the majority of presets in the first bank of the factory presets use External Controller 1 for the Wah, however some also add the Vol/Pan or other blocks on External Controller 2 or on other pedal inputs. To figure out which of the various ports are used, navigate in the Edit application for your modeler to the <span class="button">Controllers</span> > <span class="button">Modifiers</span> page to see what modifiers are used in the preset. (Clicking on a listed modifier will take you to its configuration page.) See "Global Expression Pedal Setup" in your modeler's manual for information about how to configure this. Additional pedals can be added using the instructions if you adjust the pedal's input port accordingly.
 +
<p>
 +
:''Note: Failing to set the expression pedal correctly can radically change the sound of the factory presets. It's worth taking the time to make sure this is configured correctly.''
 +
* If possible, play the presets in stereo, with the volume turned up, to hear the presets at their best. If you're running mono, and audio output in the Setup menu is set to <q>Sum L+R</q>, phase cancellation may occur. When using output mode <q>Copy L>R</q> in the Setup menu, you'll lose the part of the signal that's hardwired to the right channel. That might be a Ping Pong delay or a stereo Cab block with both sides hard-panned.
 +
* For easier control, use the editor.
 +
* Preset output levels can vary from preset to preset, though a great effort is made to minimize this. If a factory preset makes the Out 1 Clip LED blink, the overall signal level in the digital domain is too hot. To solve this, turn down Level in the Amp block or in the Global EQ.
 +
* If you're wondering why an amp model in a factory preset doesn't sound exactly the same as your own amplifier, read <q>[https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/why-your-amp-doesnt-sound-like-our-amp.172907/#post-2090367 Why Your Amp Doesn't Sound Like Our Amp]</q>.
 +
* Just like real amps, presets are sensitive to the type of guitar and its pickups.
 +
* If you think you've encountered an issue with a factory preset, report it as a possible bug on the [https://forum.fractalaudio.com user forum].

==FX8==
 +
 
 +
Cooper Carter compiled a list of all FX8 factory presets, including the amps (traditional and amp models) that were used when creating them. [[media:FX-8_Factory_Presets.pdf‎ | Download the list (version: August 2015)]]
 +
 
 +
If you place the FX8 in front of your amp, you won't experience the factory presets as they are intended. Some of these are configured for POST only (FX8 in the effects loop of an amp) or 4CM. An easy way to overcome this, is connecting a patch cable between OUT [PRE] L MONO and IN [POST] L, and connecting OUT [POST] L to the amp.
 +
 
 +
Some factory presets are configured for stereo output and won't sound like they should in a mono setup.

Latest revision as of 20:09, 17 January 2025

The contents of this page are currently being updated, because of the release of new factory presets.

About the factory presets

Fractal Audio's amp modeling products come with three sets of 128 factory presets (Banks A, B, and C). Bank A showcases amp models, while Banks B and C showcase effects.

The VP4 has banks of four presets, from A to Z, 104 presets in total.

Factory presets are stored in regular preset slots, so you can easily clear or overwrite them. See below if you want to restore factory presets, you can do so by bank or individually.

Fractal Audio updates the factory presets periodically and makes them available on the website and the user forum. Older versions can be downloaded from the unofficial archive.

Install or reinstall factory presets

Fractal Audio provides a separate bank file for each bank:

  • Bank A: 000-127
  • Bank B: 128-255
  • Bank C: 256-383

In addition, an All-Banks file that contains ALL three banks is included. Always read the included READ_ME.txt file for more up-to-date information.

The VP4 has a single bank file with all factory presets.

Use Fractal-Bot, either the embedded version inside the Edit application associated with your unit, or by using the standalone version, to upload a .syx bank file to the hardware.

Want to import a single preset from a bank file? Just use the Import function in the Edit menu. First, pick a bank and then select the preset you want to bring in. Or, you can use the Preset Manager in the editor to see all the presets in a bank or all-banks file. In the left browser pane, drag or browse to the bank file you want to import and let the editor scan it. Then, you can pick the presets you want and drag them to the slots you need.

Don't forget to refresh the list of presets in the editor's Preset Picker window or Manage Presets window, afterwards. Clicking the Refresh Button (Refresh button) is the quick way.

Auditioning factory presets

The previous owner could have modified, moved, or deleted factory presets, which can change your perception of how the presets and the modeler actually sounds. Ensuring the unit is in a factory fresh state is the first step toward your best experience.
  • The presets are configured for FRFR output devices such as studio monitors, headphones, etc., with Amp Modeling and Cab Modeling enabled in the Setup menu, and using the instrument input on the device.
  • The VP4 factory presets are split in banks, dedicated to different configurations and instruments: PRE, POST, Bass/Acoustic, 4CM.
  • The factory presets use Input 1 (instrument) and Output 1 with amplifier and speaker cabinet modeling and are configured for stereo output.
  • You can use an expression pedal in presets which use External Controller 1; For instance, the majority of presets in the first bank of the factory presets use External Controller 1 for the Wah, however some also add the Vol/Pan or other blocks on External Controller 2 or on other pedal inputs. To figure out which of the various ports are used, navigate in the Edit application for your modeler to the Controllers > Modifiers page to see what modifiers are used in the preset. (Clicking on a listed modifier will take you to its configuration page.) See "Global Expression Pedal Setup" in your modeler's manual for information about how to configure this. Additional pedals can be added using the instructions if you adjust the pedal's input port accordingly.

Note: Failing to set the expression pedal correctly can radically change the sound of the factory presets. It's worth taking the time to make sure this is configured correctly.
  • If possible, play the presets in stereo, with the volume turned up, to hear the presets at their best. If you're running mono, and audio output in the Setup menu is set to Sum L+R, phase cancellation may occur. When using output mode Copy L>R in the Setup menu, you'll lose the part of the signal that's hardwired to the right channel. That might be a Ping Pong delay or a stereo Cab block with both sides hard-panned.
  • For easier control, use the editor.
  • Preset output levels can vary from preset to preset, though a great effort is made to minimize this. If a factory preset makes the Out 1 Clip LED blink, the overall signal level in the digital domain is too hot. To solve this, turn down Level in the Amp block or in the Global EQ.
  • If you're wondering why an amp model in a factory preset doesn't sound exactly the same as your own amplifier, read Why Your Amp Doesn't Sound Like Our Amp.
  • Just like real amps, presets are sensitive to the type of guitar and its pickups.
  • If you think you've encountered an issue with a factory preset, report it as a possible bug on the user forum.

FRACTAL AUDIO QUOTES

[1] The presets were dialed in loud so as to be sure the Fletcher-Munson effect did not influence the sound.

[2] I use and prefer low output pickups and the presets work fine for me. I just consider them a starting point as everyone should.

[3] (Cygnus v16) I tested every preset on three guitars this time around: 1) Anderson HSS, 2) American Deluxe Strat SSS 3) Kiesel Vader long scale HH (BareKnuckle). Multiple beta testers also went through the set, and Cliff reviewed Bank A.

Firmware updates

Firmware updates may have an impact on the installed factory presets.

After installing new firmware, Amp blocks have to be reset only if the firmware release notes say so.

This preset shows how to send a signal with cab modeling to Front-Of-House (Out 1), and a second signal without cab modeling to a separate output to feed a power amplifier with a traditional guitar cabinet.

127 - AMP MATCH TEMPLATE [4CM TEMPLATE (FM9)] [PERFORMANCE TUTORIAL (FM3)]
Template for matching the sound of real amplifiers using Tone Match. Pedal 2 (directly connected to the Axe-Fx) enables "Reference Solo". More information about Tone Matching The FM3 has an alternative preset because it doesn't support Tone Match. The FM9 preset is a template for "Four Cable Method" connection setups.

128 - BYPASS
All inputs are connected straight to the outputs, so the input signal is the output signal, effectively creating a bypass and DI signals from all analog outputs.

Dropped factory presets

The presets below were dropped from the 27.03 factory banks. You can still retrieve them from earlier factory preset banks.

6TH STONE FROM THE SUN [6TH STONE FM3]
The Pitch block between amplifier and cab adds harmonies (7ths, and in some scene octaves), with pitch detuning, reverb, and stereo enhancer. Not clear if the preset title refers to Third Stone From The Sun, a slightly psychedelic song by Jimi Hendrix. Amp: USA Clean. FM3: lite version.

ASCENSIONS
Delay repeats are shifted up in pitch, with different intervals per scene, with the Pitch block placed between amp and cab. Play single notes. Amp: USA Pre.

ASIAN DOCUMENTARY
Stereo pitch-shifting between amp and cab and a tremolo create oriental vibes, with LFO-controlled stereo panning in the Pitch block. Play single notes. Amp: USA Clean.

AUTO WAH FUNK
Fat auto-wah (envelope controls the Wah block). Amp: ODS-100. Previously: "IN A FUNK".

AVANT JAZZ
Stereo pitch-shifted delays from the Plex Delay block. LFOs and ADSR make things crazy. Play single notes. Amp: Jazz 120.

CE-1 CHORUS/VIBE
The chorus and vibrato sounds of a Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble. Like the original, the processed sound is panned mostly to the left and the dry sound to the right, using dual amps (FM3: single), so listen in stereo. Also features the Vibrato mode of the original pedal. Amps: Double Verb.

CENTRIFUGE
This is a mesmerizing swirly stereo guitar sound, using 100% wet Rotary blocks, LFO-controlled filters, and delays. External Controller 1 controls the rotary's rate. Amp: 65 Bassguy.

CLOCKTOWER
Phased ping pong delay through an LFO filter.

CLOCKWORK BANANA
LFO-controlled sound effect dating back to the first generation of Axe-Fx processors.

COMB DELAYS
Percussive comb-filtered delays from a Multitap Delay. Amp: Band-Commander.

CORBOMITE MANEUVER
LFO-controlled Pitch and Wah blocks and stereo delay create sci-fi sounding delay trails. The preset title refers to Star Trek. Amp: Band-commander.

DELAY LEADS
Various amps and delays, including circular delay. FM3: different scenes.

DIATIONIC CHIMES [DIATIONIC CHIMES FM9]
Pitch-shifted delays. Amp: USA Pre. Previously: "WIND CHIMES". FM3 and FM9: lite versions.

DOUBLE DIFFUSOR [MTD DIFFUSOR FX (FM9)] [CRONOECHO FM3]
Rhythmic pattern from two Multitap Delay blocks in Diffusor mode. ADSR controls filter frequency and phaser rate. Previously: "DIFFUSED PHASER". FM9: single Multitap Delay. On the FM3 the "CronoEcho" preset demonstrates the Dual Delay type where the combination of "golden" time ratios and self+crossover feedback create a diffused effect.

ECHOES FROM GOD [ECHOES FROM GOD FM9] [GODLY ECHOES FM3]
Eight repeating and diffused delay lines from Plex Delay blocks, and a consecutive delay adds hard-panned delay repeats with a short delay time to the left and with a long delay time to the right. Amp: Double Verb. FM3 and FM9: single Plex Delay.

ELECTRO-SWEEP
Ambient sci-fi effect, using 100% wet Megatap Delay into LFO-controlled panned sweeping filters.

FEEDBACKER (EXT 1) [FEEDBACKER PEDAL (FM3)]
External Controller 1 (pedal) fades in sustained musical feedback from the Pitch block, with pre and post-compression and stacked Tube Screamers. Watch out for bursts of non-musical high-frequency feedback. Amp: USA Clean. FM3: different scenes.

FIFTH TRIBE [5TH TRIBE]
Delayed pitch-shifted voices. External Controller 1 adds effects from the Plex Delay. Play slowly and hold notes or chords. Amp: CA3+.

FORLORN [FORLORN FM9] [FORLORN FM3]
Delayed pitch-shifted notes with lots of reverb, stereo enhancer and automatic volume swells. Sounds like an orchestra tuning before a concert. Play single notes slowly. FM3 and FM9: single Pitch block.

FREEWAY JAM
Probably based on the guitar sound in a jazz-rock tune by Jeff Beck. Amp: Double Verb, and Tube Driver.

GAMELAN 2021
Percussive Indonesian gamelan sounds, using pitch shifting. Adjust the ADSR controller for best results. Play single notes. Amp: 59 Bassguy. Previously: "GAMELAN NIGHT".

INTRIGUE
Pitch block in Arpeggiator mode, through stereo delay and pitch detuning. The psychedelic arpeggio is a reminder of early Pink Floyd. Change the number of steps or the key in the Pitch block. Slightly similar to preset "ARPEGGIATOR M@DNESS (B Min)". Amp: Double Verb.

MELANCHOLY [MELANCHOLIA FM3]
Clean tone through a phaser into 4 shifted stereo delays. Play single notes. External Controller 1 shuts down the reversed delays in scene 2. Amp: Band-Commander. FM3 and FM9: lite versions.

NON-LIN VERBS
ADSR-controlled reverbs. Amp: Double Verb.

PERCEPTUAL REVERB
100% diffused signal from the Multitap Delay gets reverberated. Amp: Band-Commander.

PHASER "TREM" SYNC
Four different phaser types and a synced LFO control the phaser and volume for a tremolo effect. Amp: USA Clean. Previously: "PHASER PARADISE".

PONG CHORUS
Ping Pong delay through Tri-Chorus. Amp: 59 Bassguy.

REICH-LIKE
The title refers to the composer Steve Reich, famous for his compositions based on repetition. This preset creates layers of sound through a delay with long feedback. Watch the Tempo LED. External Controller 1 ends the delay feedback. Amp: Shiver.

REVERB CRYSTALS [CRYSTAL VERB (FM3)] Stereo crystals effect from the Pitch block. The preset's envelope follower is assigned to the Pitch block's Input Gain, acting as a fade-in control for the crystals. Diffusion blends the separate trails together in some scenes. See also: factory preset "CRYSTAL ECHOES". Amp: USA JP IIC+. Scenes are different across devices. Also demonstrates pitch-shifted reverb types. FM3: lite version. NOTE: parts of this preset have been migrated into "CELESTIAL REVERBS".

SHIFTED BAND DELAYS

TEN-TAP ALPHA
Rhythmic pattern from the Ten-Tap Delay block, panned stereo. Amp: Vibrato Lux. Previously named: "DELAY PAN ALPHA".

TIME AFTER TIME
Based on the heavily modulated spanky clean guitar sound in "Time After Time" by Cindy Lauper. Flanger, pitch detuning, delay, and pre and post amp compression. Amp: Brit JM45.

VALENTINE'S MASSACRE
Eerie sounds from down-pitched and LFO-controlled detuned crystals, reversed delay, stereo enhancer. Amp: Band-Commander. The title refers to the Valentine's Day massacre in 1929.

FX8

Cooper Carter compiled a list of all FX8 factory presets, including the amps (traditional and amp models) that were used when creating them. Download the list (version: August 2015)

If you place the FX8 in front of your amp, you won't experience the factory presets as they are intended. Some of these are configured for POST only (FX8 in the effects loop of an amp) or 4CM. An easy way to overcome this, is connecting a patch cable between OUT [PRE] L MONO and IN [POST] L, and connecting OUT [POST] L to the amp.

Some factory presets are configured for stereo output and won't sound like they should in a mono setup.
