DRY tracks and samples for presets testing
Most of the time, when you load a preset made by someone else after liking a recording he made, it's doesn't sound like the recording at all. Different guitar and strings, different playing style and technique, different IRs if you don't have the commercial ones I use...
With that in mind, I decided to share a few DI tracks from my guitar, and the corresponding samples from my presets. Use the DRY tracks with
Main Input Source = USB in
I/O/Audio menu. Compare the full samples that with what you hear when you play the same presets with your guitar. Right click, save as :

Be careful, the "Fountain of expression" solo (preset 95) is louder than the others, I took it from the multitrack final version and it's printed quite hot.
All the other DI tracks are from a SONAR project I use to compare the various firmwares. No fancy playing here, just basic licks/riffs I use to compare sounds. Honestly, the clean tracks (ultraclean and Fender clean) are not great, I'll record new ones when I'll change strings (they are currently 4 or 5 months old!)
As a bonus there's a recording of a Godin with a piezo pickup, that's the sample I used for my Acoustic Sim tonematch (preset 01). I shared both the DI track and the full Axe recording
