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 This is my current go-to metal rhythm patch. It's a super-tight and clean 5150 III set up for a Wet/Dry rig. I use this patch through my cab (Randall XL 4x12) and one JBL studio monitor. You can either blend the two signals for a 3D bedroom level sound or you can use the FX loop out as a WET only FX channel through your speaker of choice with your cab running dry. I have an EMG 81 in the bridge so if you are running a lower output bridge pickup, use the filter block level to boost the gain a touch. My guitar is naturally very bright sounding so you can increase the low cut in the filter block to clean up some muddy low end if need be.
