Thanks Chris, I'll go through these. We all appreciate you, Chris!
with XY, i tend to put my "primary" sound on X, secondary on Y, so not related to gain amount at all. for the Filter block, i only use the X setting, so i paid no attention to what was on Y.I have a philosophical setup question for you. I noticed that you set up your X/Y for the blocks the opposite of how I do it. For example, the drive block X is higher gain than drive block Y. Your Filter block (lead boost) has more boost in X than Y. I'm going to flip those when I hook up to AX8-Edit, but curious why you do it that way. Other than changing what was turned on in each scene, I don't think I made any other changes. Wait, yes.. I added some treble to one of the high gain scenes and presence to the other. They just sounded darker and more quiet to me.
i'm not using any speakers in the video. it's recorded direct to the stream/video and it's hitting whatever speakers you useYou mention in your video you are going direct into PA style FR speakers. Would you mind sharing what speakers you are using in the video? Sounds quite good clean or crunch. Thanks much, expecting my AX8 tomorrow
hmm, if i have time, i can manually make them. not sure how they'd translate, but i'll give it a shot.Hy Chris
Are they compatible with Axe Fx XL? if they not itis a posibility to convert them?
ahh i see.Then what does this mean?
"These Presets were made with an Ernie Ball Majesty guitar, a high output 2 Humbucker guitar, going direct to PA style full-range speakers.
Here's a GREAT article by Craig Anderton on taming piezo quack...Thanks. Made a donation. Some cool stuff here. I also use hybrid guitars (Parker, PRS, Hamer, Fender) often so the dual setups are nice.
The dual patches I set up on my Helix are more complex since I use a studio tube preamp (amp block), acoustic ir, separate delay, separate reverb, separate chorus, L.A. Studio compressor and others on just the piezo side, but I'll have to compare to see if there's enough difference. The main thing I'm trying to do is reduce the piezo quack which I can do with the tube preamp block and/or i.r. Is there anything on the Helix we could use in a dual path setup to reduce the piezo quack? EQ? Or maybe just run the piezo through a TC BodyREZ pedal?
There is some basic level adjustment needed on some. I plan to re-release the presets soon. The Selz site lets me update the files and everyone will get an email saying to download again Maybe sometime tomorrow.I suppose I can load this patch from the OP in the AX8 with FW 2.02
Do I need some tweaks/resets?
You can follow this video that shows Axe-Edit - it should be the same for AX8-Edit.Thanks for the presets, Chris. I couldn't figure out how to download the 8 patches in the one file all at once. I had to go one at a time, and it was a bit time consuming. Is there a way to move all 8 at once into preset slots? I'm new to Fractal products, so could use any advice you might offer.
Hey guys, I just finished a Bank of presets that range from Clean to Lead tones for the AX8.
You can find the link and a description of the presets on my website:

I had great luck starting with the preamp and building from there. Compression can really get you in trouble if you use too much.same here. i liked it for a while, but then i turned it off one day and was like oh there's the dynamics i've been trying to get with the compressor... i think for recordings, IRs on top of a piezo or real acoustic works, but for live, it chokes the sound or changes it too much.
