Maybe it's about time for some updated Factory Presets?

I doubt it’s just me, but... wouldn’t most of us probably be adjusting a few things like levels, BMT (and/or low pas / high pass filters) if you were going to use factory presets to suit your guitars, personal taste, playback system, and necessary levels?

many don't want to adjust anything for whatever reason.

presets are a starting point. they must be adjusted for your system. no one buys a real amp from the music store, plugs it in at home and then doesn't adjust anything. same thing for the amp in the axe.

It's not just you... Anything setup with someone else's guitar is incredibly unlikely to sound good for all of mine, or any of them for that matter. If Fractal are prioritising model improvements and new amp and effects blocks ahead of updating the Factory Presets, I still feel like I ended up in the right shop.

Yes, that. To by an amp and do that is completely ridiculous... to buy the Axe and do that makes even less sense IMO.

Well with the Axe you get 300+ amps and what, 1024 presets, don't remember, so you could just stick with the ones of those that work for you and touch nothing. Really doubt that's a common practice though

Ive never used any of the factory presets in 8 years. I build my own

I would say, Of Course!

It's been since March that the Factory Presets have had a makeover. We're already close to two major firmware revisions out and the Factory Presets haven't really been shown much love. What do you say?

Better get to work on that!!!
