Oh, that's not a piece, it's improvised. I started in G because I wanted a major vibe, but usually I play in E min with this preset

Gotchya! Your playing reminds me of a really cool fact about playing guitar, and guitar players... There are SO MANY different ways, techniques and styles to use, sounds, tones, effects, etc., that it just blows me away how many awesome players there are out there, that each play very differently. It never has to get boring, that's for sure.
 
Plex Verb 8x2:

The Wah is connected to an FC Pedal instead of External Controller 1.

EDIT: fixed in latest release.

Reverb Dynamix:

Envelope is attached to Sequencer, but Sequencer isn't doing anything.

EDIT: fixed in latest release.

Had a lot of fun with the Hevy Devy preset on my lunch break today. For personal taste, I added some ducking to the first delay so it wasn't as thick while I was actively playing in the Epic scene. The Synth scene was super fun too. Reminded me alot of Billy Sheehan's solo in his song "Just Another Humanoid". (Except with a guitar in my case. :) )
 
Has anyone tried the Plexi 50W "6550" scene with a strat?

I really like the texture of it, but dang, it needs extreme EQ to not slice me in half with highs, like bass 10 treble 0 mids maybe 2, plus some bottom in the graphic or maybe increasing speaker impedance.

Anyone happy in this neck of the woods? What IRs?

Turn the input gain up a ways and control the gain via the guitar pot, and it should tame it a bit....
 
Mark Day's Recto:

FC pedal is connected to Vol/Pan, should be External Controller 1?

Axe-Fx III Factory Preset Banks A, B, and C — optimized for Cygnus firmware version 16.02 — are now ready for you to try and enjoy

IMPORTANT: These banks require firmware version 16.02, available here:
https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/axe-fx-iii-firmware-release-version-16-02.173356/
After installing firmware 16.02, use Fractal-Bot to send the new preset banks to your unit. Using the "All Banks" file is most convenient, as it installs all 384 presets at once, overwriting the current contents of Banks A, B, and C on your unit.

DOWNLOAD NOW:
https://www.fractalaudio.com/downlo...x-3/16p0/Axe-Fx-III-Factory-Presets-16p02.zip

NOTES:
As you know from the A/B preview, those banks were converted and polished, with numerous improvements.
Now, Bank C has been enhanced even further, with so many new and/or improved presets I lost track. Digging deep on this one, I drew from my personal private collection, plus the "Artist Preset" packs we've shared, and even included some submissions from Leon @2112 Todd, Brett @Burgs Kingman, @edo Sounds, @austinbuddy, @fremen, and @Mark Day. Special thanks to @simeon Harris for allowing us to "tap" into his awesome library of Multitap Delay blocks ;-)

We are very grateful for your appreciation of the previous "preview" release, and for your comments that allow fixing any issues. Once any new comments come in I will quickly produce a final version and put these on our website and into production.

Is there a way to download the new Factory Presets to my computer as individual .syx presets, in a list form, without having to download entire banks to my AXE FX III? I have the majority of my banks currently filled with different custom presets I use on different occasions and I don't want to have to take them all off of the AXE just to demo the new Factory preset banks. I would rather just demo them individually in the empty spaces I have left since I more than likely will only be interested in a handful of new select Factory presets.

Put the all banks .syx for in its own folder, open axe manage presets, browse to that folder and you should see a list of all the presets

Let me ask this differently. Would anyone run the real amp with treble 0 bass 10?

Maybe. Try running the gain higher. These things have bloody enormous bright caps on the volume control, so they sound bright AF until you get the volume control up pretty high and the cap is bypassing a much smaller portion of the pot's resistance.

Good call, I'll check it out. Gain is a touch below 5, and you're right, bright cap is huge. Decreasing it is one of the most common tweaks I do to the factory presets, often works better since I'm using a strat. This time, I was trying to see if I could come to terms with the amp as it's actual built, more or less.

I'll definitely try higher gain, and lower input trim to compensate.

With a Strat? They're not designed for Strats. They're meant for Les Pauls. If you use a Strat you have to clip the bright cap.
