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 is an old preset that I've since updated based off of Metallicas Orion. I tried to use the exact amp/cab combo Metallica is mostly known for which is the Mk2C++ with speakers to match. The speakers should be a 4x12 Rumble EV12L 121, 4x12 Rumble EV12L U67, 4x12 Rumble EV12S 88. You can find the cabs if you search for them in the Fractal Forum. Someone uploaded them as a pack just in case this doesn't work. I am using a BBE Sonic Stomp pedal based on the BBE Sonic Maximizer In 3 Out 3 and then being sent/recieved. It should sound pretty good with or without this pedal but be careful if you have your own pedals in this layout. You can hear the old example of this preset if you youtube and search Metallica Orion Guitar Preset by user IbanezRG320FM. If you liked this, or even if you didn't, I would still appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong. Thanks and enjoy!
