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.

Fractal Product Axe-FX III

Firmware Version 28.x

Set Up Direct

Description Fractal Audio Axe-Fx III Preset (Firmware 32.02) This is the exact preset used by John Petrucci during his 2026 Live Tour. Since this preset utilizes the internal amp modeling of the Fractal unit rather than external physical amplifiers, it was exceptionally difficult to obtain. I was able to acquire this through the assistance of a member of Petrucci's live gear transportation crew. Details: Scenes: Contains 8 distinct scenes. Additional Presets: There are 5 more related presets which I will be uploading shortly. Notice: The output levels are set very low by default. Please adjust the volume blocks according to your specific monitoring environment.
