Hi, guys,
I just bought a used Axe-Fx II XL+. I am not very computer literate, but was able to read the manual, start up, use the global function to turn off power amp and cabinet simulation. I then pugged into my Roland Blues Cube guitar amp (solid state) and got some great sounds right out of the box. Really amazing! Then I was (finally) able with the help of youtube, to download fractal bot, open up zip files and download Ares 1.03 into the Fractal. Here's where I'm stuck: I went to the page called the "Amplifier models list" that supposedly has the latest (and I guess last) presets for Fx II. The names of the presets I have on my Axe after downloading Ares 1.03 do not match up at all with the list. As an example, my first 3 presets (from 000 to 002) are labeled 59 Bassguy, 65 Bassguy and Brown face. The list I copied off of the website which says it is for Ares ver. 1.03 has the first 3 presets as 1959SLP Jump, 1959SLP Normal and 1959SLP Treble. Where did I mess up, and how can I get the correct presets loaded? When I downloaded Ares 1.03, I saw where you could only download some parts, but didn't realize until now you could hold out some for future presets. Also wanted to ask, if you buy and download presets like AustinBuddy, does that program overwrite all of the presets you have from Ares 1,03, some of them or what? Thanks for your responses.
