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 [Shared] John Petrucci’s Dream Theater 40th Anniversary Tour - Main Preset (FW 32.02) This is the exact main preset used by John Petrucci for the Dream Theater 40th Anniversary Tour. I managed to acquire this exclusive data from a member of the tour’s backline and gear transportation crew after a "private arrangement" (significant backdoor payment). Since Petrucci is relying entirely on the Fractal unit's internal amp modeling for this tour—bypassing physical amps—this specific preset has been extremely difficult to obtain. Key Details: Legendary Tone: The moment you load this, you will experience the dense gain and signature atmosphere of Petrucci's latest live sound. The tone is simply insane. Confirmed Compatibility: I have verified that this preset delivers the signature Petrucci tone even when using Ibanez or Fender guitars. Whether you have humbuckers or single-coils, this preset adapts perfectly. 8-Scene Configuration: Fully mapped from crushing rhythms to soaring leads and pristine cleans. ⚠️ MANDATORY WARNING (Read Carefully): The output levels and internal volume blocks within this preset are currently set to extremely low (near-zero) levels. Do not suddenly crank your volume if you don't hear sound immediately. Please adjust your volume blocks cautiously to match your specific monitoring environment.
