well... not all of them yet!
i am working on modifying all the Factory presets for use with the 4 Cable Method. many new users of the Axe-Fx want to integrate it into their current setup with their favorite amp; not everyone wants to jump to full range speakers.
the factory presets are great, but are more intended for full range setups. those who want to do the 4 Cable Method need to do a lot of work to hear the presets. but with these modified presets, they can hook up in 4cm, load them into the Axe, and start playing (after a bit of volume balancing of course).
i completed the first 128 presets, Bank A. would anyone who already understands the 4cm and has a real amp be able to test these out for me? i want to make sure things work before i do the other 600 something presets
here are the details:
these are the latest Axe-Fx presets available (FW 18.xx)
these were made using Quantum FW 1.06 on a Mark I
changes made:
add "4CM" to each preset name
change CAB block to FX Loop block
move FX Loop block in front of Amp block
set Amp block Level to -50 dB
Engage FX Loop and bypass Amp block in Scene 1 and 3-8
Scene 2 bypasses FX Loop block and Engages Amp block
So Scene 1 will use your real Amp's preamp with whatever effects are on in the preset
Scene 2 will bypass your real Amp's preamp and instead use the Amp sim of that preset
however, since the Amp block Level was set to -50 dB, you will have to manually adjust that volume for your setup. so on first load, Scene 2 will appear silent.
i had to do this because everyone's 4cm setup is different. if you crank your amp master but keep the channel quiet, the Amp block at -15 dB or similar could be very, very loud. so to prevent accidents, i made it very quiet.
chances are that most people will only want to use their real amp preamp for the tone and the Axe just for effects. in that case, just use Scene 1 and overwrite Scene 2 at some point. but for those who do want to use Axe Amp sims as well, you have it ready in Scene 2, but you just have to adjust the Level parameter up until it is the volume you need.
here is Bank A modified for 4cm as described above: https://www.dropbox.com/s/78acwviohnhtvz3/Bank-A-4-cable-method.syx?dl=0
if someone can test it in a real 4cm setup with a real amp, please let me know if it works correctly. thanks!
