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 4-Cable Method

Description Preset for early Van Halen. The Drive, Delay X and Reverb X should almost always be on. The drive is used to boost the amp signal on the gain channel. Delay X I have setup to hold the feedback to replicate what Eddie did with the echoplex. Delay Y is set with 1 repeat for Ain't Talkin Bout Love etc. Phaser is setup for VH1 and Flanger is for Unchained. The Chorus is set for "Van Hagar" tone. Bump the presence up on your amp to get the VH tone and use the gain channel.
