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 After having played with this for a bit, I find that the question is not, "Can the Axe-Fx sound like a Trumpet?" but "Can I play the guitar so it sounds like a Trumpet player." The first thing that's missing is breath. I added an expression pedal to control a filter. I still wasn't great at that part. The second thing that's tough is silence. I added an expression pedal to squeeze the gate threshold so it could make it super choppy at times. The main thing that's tough is getting the articulations and vibrato "right", especially in a synth with some latency that tends to fight with your sense of swing. So you need to play in an anticipatory way too, and pay close attention to when to play legato vs more punctuated. I quickly had to ditch the pick too, not only for control, but to minimize pitchy burps. https://soundcloud.com/mysticworks/feels-so-fractal
