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 II

Firmware Version Q-9.x

Set Up Direct

Description For me I have finally tweaked the PERFECT Van Halen 1984 preset, especially tweaked for Girl Gone Bad, Very harmonic rich tone. I started off playing through the free awesome Larry Mitchell patch then noticed it had a Van Halenish tone to it so I went through my saved blocks one by one from other Van Halen presets and tweaked. You have to have the Larry Mitchell free "Deluxe Larry Mitchell" Ir in u007. Scene 1 is rhythm and scene 2 is lead. You need hot pickups to get the grit and grind, lay back on the volume. Also brings out the harmonics in the Wait solo by White Lion I forgot to mention I am running direct frfr into 2 asm12 Friedman cabs
