Installing new versions of factory presets

Fractal Audio periodically updates the factory presets for current processors.

Use Fractal-Bot to upload factory preset banks to the hardware. To select and upload individual presets from a bank, use the software editor.

Auditioning factory presets

Just like real amps, the processors are sensitive to the type of guitar and its pickups.

Preset output levels can vary from preset to preset. 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 Main in the Global EQ.

If possible, play factory presets in stereo to hear the presets at their best.

If you're running mono and audio output in the I/O menu is set to “Sum L+R”, phase cancellation may occur. This can happen if the preset contains an Enhancer block in Classic Mode, or a micro delay in the Cab block. Or when a preset contains a Delay block with the Phase Rev parameter engaged.

When using output mode "Copy L>R" in the I/O 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.

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

Axe-Fx III

Iii-front-transparent-1024x271.png

The Axe-Fx III has 384 factory presets, divided over 3 banks (A B C). Many of these were ported from the Axe-Fx II and optimized for the III, adding scenes and new features. The factory presets use Input 1 (instrument) and Output 1 with Cab Modeling.

Camilo Velandia demonstrates the first factory presets (March 2018): part 1part 2part 3part 4

FX8

FX8-mk2-top.jpg

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.

Many presets have multiple dialed-in scenes. The factory presets use Input 1 (instrument) and Output 1 with Cab The Axe-Fx III has 384 factory presets, divided over 3 banks (A B C). Many of these were ported from the Axe-Fx II and optimized for the III, adding scenes and new features. The factory presets use Input 1 (instrument) and Output 1 with Cab Modeling.

Camilo Velandia demonstrates the first factory presets (March 2018): part 1part 2part 3part 4
