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 This is an idea to work with tube amps that do not have midi. This preset will allow you to use a channel from your tube amp and switch to a clean amp from the FM3. You can tweak it as you like or use your amps clean channel and switch to a high gain amp from the FM3, whichever option you want. What this does is bypass the out2 block and enables the return block to use the amp from the FM3, clean or high gain. But if I want whatever channel i have in my tube amp, i then bypass the return block and this enables my amp channel, clean or whatever you want. This preset is set to have the clean amp of the FM3 in scene 7 and scene 8. Rest of scenes are set to work with the high gain of the amp, using the FM3's effects.
