Determining Your Setup

The "Setup" filter helps you to focus on those presets best-suited for how you use your Axe-Fx.

FRFR/Direct presets (like all of the Factory presets) are designed for "full-range flat-response" systems such as studio monitors, PAs, headphones, etc.

Pwr. Amp + Cab presets use real power amps and guitar speakers.

4-Cable Method (aka :4CM") presets require a special setup with connectors both in front of and in the effects loop of a real amp.

Fx Loop presets in the loop of a real amp. A loop may be SERIES or PARALLEL and the preset needs to be built accordingly.

Gtr Amp Input presets should be used in front of a (real) head or combo. Guitar->Axe-Fx->Amp Input.

Other setups also exist (e.g. combinations of the above).

The Axe-Fx II manual (chapter three) includes more information about setups.

"Cab" search results ignore the settings of this filter.

Description Here is my attempt at Joe Satriani's studio tone from the early days with his first few albums from the '80s. - Scenes 1 & 2 are both crunch channels (Scene 2 w/ delay and reverb), - Scenes 3 & 4 are both lead channels (Scene 3 w/ delay and reverb, Scene 4 the same again but w/ chorus ala 'Surfing...') - Scene 5 is the clean compressed tone w/ reverse delay as heard on 'Day at the Beach'. Change parameters from Y to X if you prefer normal delay. Yes, so it turns out that if you crank a Fender Super Reverb amp model (for lack of a Pro Reverb, the amp he ACTUALLY used isn't on the Axe-Fx... yet...) and stick a Super OD (again for lack of a virtual DS-1... yet...), and crank the presence, you will absolutely get a replica of Joe's guitar tone from those awesome early albums of his. Sounds great through a cab as well if you have a presence boost you can adjust (if necessary). Anyway I hope you enjoy! If you like it, please email me and I'll see what else I can come up with. :) marklumsley@gmail.com
