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 Introducing the Lega Cygnus Rig! This is my own take on Leda's current guitar tones that he used in Far East Dizain, as well as his own solo albums. Leda is a Japanese guitarist who is known for his Japanese metalcore djent playstyle. He used to play 6-string ESPs in Drop C going into a Marshall Kerry King JCM800 before using ENGL Powerball and Friedman HBE with Babymetal, often switching back and forth between the two amps before making a gradual transition into modelling. He first started off with a Kemper just like Takaoyshi Ohmura and Mikio Fujioka (RIP), before making a further digital leap into the world of Fractal Audio. This artist was very tricky for me to profile because I couldn't find any amp models that gave me the Kerry King JCM800 sound right out of the box. Perhaps an output or input EQ combined with the Brit 800 model might work, but instead of spending hours trying to make it work, I've instead decided to match the guitar tones that he uses in his modern era of musical playstyle. Ever since he started using Fractal in the band Far East Dizain, Leda used Mesa Dual Rec-style amplifiers. The album "Dizainerve" is known for the use of the Mesa Triple Crown; however, Leda still opted to use the Dual Rec-style amplifier live. Even in his solo projects, he is known for using the Dual Rec as part of the rhythm guitars to help the guitars blend with the backing instruments better. Do note that Leda uses extended-range guitars. I've done my best to match the tones with a 6-string guitar, but do bear in mind, depending on the guitar you use you may want to play around with the amp's EQ a bit.
