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 I've been working on this patch to recreate Eddie Van Halen's tone from the Van Hagar Era (1985-1995). 4 amps were used with 4 scenes; The Marshall 1959SLP Jumped, SLO-100, 5150 Block Letter, and a Fender Bandmaster (Which I personally believed he used ALL OVER the 5150 Album). All amps go into 5150 cabs however there are Marshall Cabs on channel B in the cab block to experiment with. There are also 4 channels of the pitch block which are all slightly different settings between dual and quad detune. This patch was made with a MusicMan Axis.
