When speaking about the factory presets in the Axe-Fx Standard and Ultra:

• "The presets were created using studio monitors. Event 20/20 to be exact. They're very neutral. Guitars were a strat copy and a PRS."
• "The presets are meant as demonstrations of the capabilities. Also they are designed to evoke the "wow" response. As such they tend to be overprocessed. Think of them as a starting point."

Listening to the factory presets

• If possible, use stereo studio monitors when running through the factory presets. It makes a lot of difference and you'll hear the presets the right way!
• Preset output levels can vary from preset to preset.
• Some presets may include a noise gate set to a threshold that may not work well with your guitar. Turn the threshold to zero to switch the gate off (Layout menu).
• Some presets contain an ENH block (Stereo 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 signals which are hardwired to the right channel.
