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 Direct

Description This preset was inspired by Synyster Gates' rhythm tone in "The Stage". As there is currently no commercially available capture for his Schecter Hellwin amplifier, I opted to go with a Peavey 6505+ red channel (appropriately so, as James Brown designed both amplifiers). I also opted to use a Dyna-Cab Recto IR blend, as not everyone may have Gates' IR collection that he sells. Hellwin cabs and Recto cabs share critical similarities (thick/heavy build, V30-loaded) and so that led to my decision to use those in the preset. I designed this preset with very careful attention to detail and a fair bit of isolated track playback, so I hope that it satisfies you and I hope that it continues to inspire players and fanboys alike!
