I'm working on some presets for good Marshall patches, specifically of the JCM and JVM era. Are there any specific things that you've grown to love or continue to look for in Marshall patches for the FM-9? What are some things that would make a truly great preset IYO? I've got a great start...
Here's a couple of 8-Scene Vox and Marshall Rigs, both voiced with a Strat and/or Tele. The kind of thing that would get me through any gig without too much trouble. You'll need 23.05 or later to run them. Tweak the gains for humbuckers.
Vox version...
Attached you can find my current AC/DC Angus Young preset scenes based on different Marshall Plexis and Dyna-Cabs I used based on new Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.02b1.
To change the gain level please use VolPan ("treble" gain) and Comp Output ("mid" gain) volume level. It emulates the Solodallas...
Basically my first try dialing in a short-scale double humbucker guitar with a series of Marshalls (and a Twin that I tweaked). I'm not used to the fizz or brightness that are common in Marshall tones, but playing along with songs these tones act as a good in-between to my ears: they are...
An 8 Scene patch loosely based on Hendrix's Voodoo Chile sound from Electric Ladyland. Clean Strat to a very agitated Plexi 100W with appropriate fuzzes and other stuff. Rock 'n roll!

Video demo/explanation:
Yep. Lucky me, eh? There are six of their newbie axes stacked up here. I shot the '61 OW Strat today and wrote a reasonably period-correct preset to suit the video (below). Have a crack at it if you're interested. The '57's up next. I'll run the same preset for that one...
So a forum buddy was in Toronto wheeling and dealing, and all of a sudden I own a slant and straight silver jubilee half stack.
Now I need a power amp, guitar amp or both. Not sure when I’ll actually get to fire them up, should be picking them up in a week.
These are badged 2556 but someone...
Yesterday I put up a demo/review of the 2022 Charvel Pro-Mod Platinum Pearl HSS HT. As usual I wrote a preset to suit the subject and there were a few comments from people wanting to know more, and could I share it, please? So, here 'tis.

Trying to make a Green Day preset.
Billie uses 2 100w Plexis, so I'm using the PLEXI 100W 70 since that should be the same amp. His amps are both modded- the top one is the famous Dookie/Martin Golub mod, which "cascades the front end and adds a master volume". What does cascading mean, is it...

Does anyone use a Marshall 80x80 Valvestate power amp? I have one in my rack that I used with my JMP1 and was wondering whetherto amp up my FM3 for a bigger output sound to a stereo 4x12 set up. There is a linear( FRFR I assume) setting and a “Valvestate” output setting on the power amp. Has...
Hi Guys,
Took me quite a while to figure out how to use my new Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555X amp.
I am doing lots of studio recording (Eve Audio SC305 & Beyerdynamic DT770) and live we play most of the times In Ear Monitors.
I love that sound , always stereo and really great band mix and no ear...

I recently got some lighting equipment and a decent area to record! Attached is my mid-heavy "Hot Rodded Plexi" preset. The guitar is a Gibson Les Paul 60s Standard with stock pickups. When I use my Charvel with a JB, I roll back the mids a tad and tweak for more saturation.

Hey Fractal friends... it's been a minute. Just cooked this up with my buddy Kyle. We actually thought it'd be fun to do more of a "live" rendition, so we based the tempo map off of Metallica's Seattle 1989 performance of the song. Hope ya dig it!!!
All guitars recorded with my Axe FX 3. For...
Hope ya dig it... As a token of my appreciation I've made both of my Dave + Adrian patches available for download. Files attached below...
Any support for the channel would be greatly appreciated. Cheers and UP THE IRONS!!!

A couple of classic amps, some classic stomps, a little speaker compression here and there... If you're a fan of their respective styles I hope you can enjoy this one. Tweak to taste, etc. Cheers.

Let's get HOTTER THAN HELL!!! Had lots of fun on this "test run" with the new cameras and the Axe FX III.
All guitars and bass recorded through Axe FX III. Rhythm guitars through the Hot Rod 800 model, and bass through the Ampeg SVT model, with some slight mods, eq and compression in the DAW...
Would like to trade my Supro black magick head and cab for a Marshall JMP 100 with 4x12 cab. I'm located in Waco Tx. so, I'd be open to a drive to the surrounding cities; Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and so on.
Here is the amps listing...
Hey friends! 😊 Here my humble tribute to Pearl Jam, Mike McCready and Stone Gossard. Here I used my Marshall Plexi 100W High preset for AxeFx2, AxeFx3 and AX8.
Hope you enjoy! 😊
I am starting a series of videos demoing the various metal tones you can get out of the FM3, playing a couple of riffs for each.
Would love to compare my high gain presets to other members'
Here's a little Angus patch I've been working on. Someone was kind enough to share some insight on how to duplicate the Schaffer wireless that Angus has frequently used and I think it sounds pretty good. Also, I know Angus is known for using 65w Celestion's but he also uses Greenback's and...
I hope this is a cool thing to post in this thread? It's always fun for me to compare these types of things unit to unit. Both are so good, but I do like the overall flexibility and sheer range of effects options on the Axe FX. For me, that sets it a step above. Anyway, a little look at the...
Hi People!!!
One year ago I tried to recreate the Angus Young' sound from AC/DC.
In these days I've re-make it also for Fractal Axe-Fx III. That's a really new version (named V3 version), not a FracTool conversion! ...and it sounds really much better! In first track I had to delete the backing...
I posted the clip for a preset based on Slash’s Use Your Illusion tone which will be part of the famous riffs vol3 preset pack coming out in a couple days.
I usually make 1 minute clips on instagram, but I have to admit, I was having so much fun with this preset that I couldn’t stop!
Okay so, I've created a pretty good all around Strat tone, but I have one issue with it. I'm going for a tone similar to what you hear in the intro section of "Falling Down" by Andy Timmons, it's got this sorta "glassy" or "crystalline" top end, and I'm really close to getting there, but on my G...
Gibson (Epiphone) enlisted me to demo four of their new Epiphone 'Inspired by Gibson' range. So I figured Marshalls would be the best platform. That gave me cause to write this preset which I now share with you. The Epiphone demos have not gone live yet but here's a taster (second vid below) if...
🇺🇸 A quick jam with 4 guitars and the Marshall JTM 45, Plexi 100w 1970, JCM 800 and JVM 410 Orange Lead models of the Axe-FX III (firmware 12.03). 🎸

Hello guys,
I was trying to do Cory Wong inspired sounds, following this video:
Briefly: if i turn the input drive close to 0 (actually 0.9) with this amp i get some weird very distorted fuzzy sounds (you can hear them better if you turn amp level higher and, of course, higher your speaker)...
hello, I tried to recreate something like the guitar sound of master Uli Jon Roth on Scorpions album "in trance" (The Sails of Charon). I don't know if it was perfect, but at least it was a lot of fun.
I made a very simple preset with the Marshall Plexi 50W, Greenback Cabs and some Reverb.
P.S...
Apologies as I have to drop a name for this one. One of my oldest friends, Andy Cichon, who plays bass for Billy Joel and Shania Twain, is also a killer guitarist. Andy loves his old Marshalls, fuzzes and overdrives, and lately, treble boosters. He's been consulting me about the latter and I've...
I admit it: I'm really addicted to Marshall cabinets. I'd want to buy every possible Marshall cabinet there is. But I'm glad there's a much cheaper way to own and try them. And the best thing is you can find many ready in Axe FX III factory IR's!

Amidst all of Florida's hurricane drama, I managed to find some inspiration to noodle around a bit and dial in a really basic clean preset with the JTM45 amp model (Brit JM45). I'm a firm believer in focusing on a simple "CORE" amp tone for whatever you are trying to achieve and then add...

Hi Folks just wondering if someone could throw some tips for making some more advanced changes to the amp block. I'm trying to nail down Tool tones and a big part of that is a heavily modified Marshall.

Here is a bunch of gear I would love to get modeled by Fractal. One can dream, right? ;-)
The Framus Cobra is IMHO one of the - if not the - best high gain amps ever made. Super tight and aggressive. Unfortunately not in production anymore since Framus was bought by Warwick.

I've recently become infatuated with BMTH. I like Lee's riffs. I like Jordan's sense of 'epic'. I like Oli's f#@k you lyrics and straight-up-ness. But mostly I like Lee's riffs and that he runs a .80 gauge for his E(Bb) string which he pounds the hell out of into a Marshall JCM800. I know I'm 9...
i spent many hours setting up my new Fractal patches for my first gig using FRFR speakers in quiet rehearsals and a home headphone setup. At my first gig sound check I finally used my two open back Marshall DSL-20C combos in the clean channel. I need these as the sound bleed from the cabinet...
Yesterday's 'cleans' demo/preset was so much fun I thought I should up the ante a little and move on to some medium gain. This preset also features 8 Scenes but with 8 different amp/cab pairings. Use it, abuse it and make it yours. I've called this one 'Midtown'.

Fractal Audio just released the new ML Legends Cab Pack which is dedicated to "modern sounding pre-Rola speakers". I've been receiving a lot of questions about what that exactly means so here's a comparison of the ML Legends "pre-Rola G12M 75hz Greenback" vs the more vintage sounding ML Brit Big...

Bought the FX8 early 2016 and used it mainly for home recording so far, together with my Marshall JVM410 (4CM cabling), a Rivera Rockcrusher (power attenuator) and a Radial DI-box with a good cab-sim.
I started to do Live-performances early this year with a duo-partner again. The FX8 has become...
What's up guys!
Here's my take on a classic Marshall tone using the 1959SLP Treble, I'm going for the raw, percussive bright tone of a 100w dimed plexi:cool: Works great for jamming classic rock riffs as well as some more modern stuff like the Foo Fighters! I'm using a blend of 3 factory cabs...
Is this a dark lead channel? I was trying to find a cab that fit well with it but everything sounds warm and dark with no hair on top, and I had all the high controls turned up to around 2 o'clock. I've gone thru about 100 cabs and while some of them have fiz/fuzz none of them seem to have...
In an effort to make everyone who doesn't own one jealous, lustful, amazed, or all three with the Axe-FX III, I've attempted a take on the old Marshall/fuzz box combos. It's not easy because of the impedance thing but I ran the input at 90k (thank you AustinBuddy!) and had a LOT of fun and, I...
This is my attempt to get some of the essence of the great "Babe, I'm gonna leave you" solo by Justin Derrico (Pink, Funhouse version). Not the entire solo though. Gibson LP Standard 2012 into Axe-FX II (Capt Hook 2B amp).
I just got my fractal on Friday and here are some free presets to share. Influenced by Van Halen and Dokken. If anyone wants to tweak them and post the new preset that would be great.
I just purchased a 93 JCM 900 (100w), i cant seem to find any information on the effects loop, if it is series or parallel. also if i can use the relay function on the FX8 to switch channels.
Any one out there use an FX8 with a Marshall JCM900 using the 4CM?
thoughts?

I've decided to create some mix-ready patches using JUST factory cabs and sell them for a very reasonable price!
This is my take on the quintessential Marshall “Plexi on 10” sound. The core of the patch is a ToneMatch I’ve made of a great sounding Suhr SL68, John Suhr’s take on...
After seeing a Youtube video of Billy Corgan talking about and playing with the reissue Big Muff Op-Amp pedal I thought I'd have a go at getting a Big Muff tone that works for me in the AxeFXII XL+.

I just got the Ax8 last week, and I've found that I really like the JVM OD1 Or amp with the 1960B V30 cab. I love the tone, but sometimes it sounds like it's clipping, or something similar to that effect. I know that it's not actually clipping, I've checked the levels and everything is allright...
These days I have received some email where they wondered how your JVM PATCH plays in the mix? This is the video. NO Post-Processing. Just the Patch over the Backing Track. That's it :) I hope you enjoy! :)
I had a half day off at home between flights (on the road again) and lo and behold, there's some new FW to download and love! Always a welcome thing for me. Admin suggest that the 6550/Cab#61 combo, with a tweak of the new Speaker Compression parameter, will park my boat up next to the ocean...
After reading some discussion about using tweaked guitar amp models with bass, I dug into the subject of Marshall amps a bit, and realised that the Super Bass versions of some of the amps already modelled by Fractal only have a few components which differ from each other.
It would be awesome if...

Here's a brief overview of all the MV Marshall's in the box (I think I got them all anyway). My go to on an 800/900/2000 series Marshall was always to set everything to 7 and go from there, so I've used that approach here. The goal was to highlight the inherent tonal differences from model to...
I thought it might be fun to pitch my two single-coiled Music Man guitars - 2016 Albert Lee and Cutlass - up against each other in a battle of the Floydish type. So I dragged out the old '98 Total Guitar backing track (see the vids for links) and gave 'em all I had.
I wrote a HIWATT / SLP...
Just got my Axe Fx2. Sounds promising, but I got a really big problem with too much low end. If I turn off cab moddeling, all distrotion sound thin and fizzy. (Had same problem with the Ultra). If I leave it on, the Axe Fx sounds better, but very boomy (lack of better word). Power amp simp on or...
Yep! Took a little while until i took this Amp model a spin. I usually play with 5150, Mesa Engl... etc. Modern high gain amps. But today i wanted to rock on with some Marshall sounds and remembered this Amp sim.
