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.

Set Up 4-Cable Method

Description Here's my attempt at Kenny Hickey's guitar tone from Type O Negative. I didn't "Tone Match" it but I modeled the sound after his tone on the album "Life is Killing Me". I used the USA Pre Clean, which is based off of the Mesa TriAxis. I was lucky enough to see Type O live several times for that album touring cycle. Live, I saw Kenny had a rack with a TriAxis, ADA Preamp, a Mesa 2 Ninety and a Rectifier of some sort as a backup. I don't have a guitar with a sustainer so I threw in another OD for that sweet/horrible/awesome feedback. I used a PRS tuned to B standard and it sounds killer (to me, at least.) Mix and match the scenes to your taste. Adjust the input trim on the amp block to your liking as well. Cabs are a V30 and Recto Mix. I use the chorus, delay and reverb blocks activated to make up for the lack of Pete Steele-esque wall of bass sound in my studio.
