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 As heard in SoloAWeek 20. Not a Mesa Mark Series amp tone as one would expect for Dream Theater. When I first did this in 9/2011, I wasn't quite happy with the MK II or IV in the Axe-Fx. I liked the Danger Zone tone for Octavarium, so I added some gain and changed the delay. At this point, the MKs have been insanely improved and are so good I would have used one of them without thinking twice.
