Axe-Fx III Factory Presets for firmware 27.03

Just an opinion here....for me the progression from the legacy banks to the factory banks to Dynacabs is one of increasing convenience rather than quality. The factory banks are a bit better organized and more complete than the legacy banks, and Dynacabs make it easier and more logical to find the IRs you want. That's all.

I'm just intrigued that the choice would be to go back to now quite old IRs from the AxeFx2, rather than making use of the new Dyna-Cab tech.

The Dyna-Cabs were not meant to be a replacement to the IRs (or even the old IRs), they are there to give us more options when shaping our tone. Some IRs (as you probably already know) are mixed differently when recorded, and they can have a really nice sound that still works well today, no matter how old they are. And the Dyna-Cabs are not meant to replace those, but they do give us a different way to explore the tonal options of a particular speaker/mic combination.

The 59 Bassguy preset now has the "Factory" version in Cab Channel A, the DynaCab version in B, and the Legacy in C. Note that there are other changes in the banks. See the OP for details.

I'd overlooked the fact there are multiple Cab channels, even though the scenes don't use them. Top work!

The Axe-Fx III factory presets have been updated for firmware version 27.03 or newer.

A special thanks to @fremen for his significant contribution to this project. We couldn't have done it without you!
Thanks also to @austinbuddy, @Mark Day, @chris, @2112, @iaresee, @Cooper Carter, @Patzag, @simeon, @dr bonkers, and everyone else who helped.
  • Selections from past Gift of Tone releases are now included at the end of Bank C ("RE-GIFT OF TONE!")
  • A few Easter eggs (or should we say stocking stuffers? ;-) are found within the update.
As always, we recommend backing up your current presets before performing any major update or installation.
Happy Holidays, and thank you as always for choosing Fractal Audio Systems.

EDIT: Jan 02 2025 - The link and zip file are the same, but a new version of the files is now on the server. This includes a minor level and sound tweaks, a change to the 59 Bassguy preset cab block, plus some fixes to modifier sources that were set to "FC" instead of "External".

I know @iaresee states that you prefered the "Legacy" IR's for certain presets, which is great. I'm just intrigued that the choice would be to go back to now quite old IRs from the AxeFx2, rather than making use of the new Dyna-Cab tech.

Nothing went "back" -- the presets were always using non-DynaCabs and sounded good so nothing was done with them.

Vai doesn't use the Amp block for his Axe-Fx, so someone else has made that preset for us.

Correct. That preset was @fremen's creation using the GoT effect blocks.

mattrg470 said:
But that's my point. They have been changed, to the older legacy IR's.

I don't believe that statement is true.

Hi everyone and happy new year to you all

how to check if my all banks are well uploaded please ?

This may be placebo guys, but I went back to the factory JCM 800 preset and tried Leon's #34 again...Holy. sheet. Ended up on it for almost 2 hours. Chimey, stringy crispness, very pleasing on palm mutes. Did nothing to it also.(as a thrash/metal guy first, I usually boost) Didn't need too. It's like the ultimate 70's 80's classic/hard rock/ metal machine. Fn perfect right out the gates! Iirc, I remember Cliff mentioned this amp sounded more like the "Slash" Marshall than the other . The gain is like "goldi locks". Not quite enough to be considered metal, but a tad too much for simply hard rock. It fn slices like a beautiful/aggressive razorblade. I highly recommend a revisit to that one guys!💪💪👍 Sounded like ear candy with just my beater Fender Bullet Squier I upgraded with a Duncan J.B!
 
I'm in the middle of a rewiring project, and I just installed new pickups, but I decided to give some of these a try right away. Holy smokes, the presets sound amazing. Thank you so much to each and every preset creator for your hard work and attention to detail in creating jaw dropping tones.

I've got a confession. I'm wrong. I redownloaded the old 19.04 Presets and some are different to what I have.
I must have made my own alterations a while back and completely forgotten about it.

I apologise.

I've done worse! :smile:

Glad you've figured out why there was such a difference. 👍

There are many comments from Cliff in the Dyna-Cab section of the Wiki's Cab block page.
