I've spent the last week gathering, editing, creating and organizing and categorizing a ton of presets so I can have things very organized when recording. I absolutely LOVE the Axefx, but have always hated having to wade through tons of heavily effected presets to find a few raw gems. It seemed like most of the factory patches had heavy verb, delay, chorus etc on most of the stuff and although I'm sure a lot of people love that, it didn't suit my needs at all. Thanks to the editor, it's a lot easier to get organized than it used to be.
Ok, here's the scoop. ALL of the ones I just uploaded are basically just amp, cab and a small amount of small room reverb. Some have a drive in front or an added eq, but the end result is just a raw amp sound/tone.
These are ALL intended for going direct into a DAW and that's how they were written. The digital output levels are all between -6 and -18db so there's plenty of headroom for processing in DAW if you want. I have no idea how these will translate into a p.a. system so don't sue me.
With them being written for recording, most of them have the bass tamed a bit to leave room for mr bass guitar. If you want your guitar to fill up the bass frequencies too, you'll need to tweak a bit.
Signal path and equipment used: PRS24 with HFS pu's into an MW1 with impedence up a bit, into Axefx and digital out to Pro Tools. My guitar's impedence was a little hot so some of these may sound too "soft" to you etc. A little tweak on the presence, dampening, bright cap etc should get you there if you don't likey.
DISCLAIMER: Many of these presets were taken from the Axechange and Axefx and tweaked to my liking for recording. I have renamed everything so all my presets can be organized and easily located by amp type, tone etc. I'm not trying to take credit for building all of these from the ground up. I just did a lot of editing to other people's creations to get it sounding good through my system.
NOTES: :mrgreen: The "HG" is for high gain so you can look at it and not have to load it up to see what you're gonna get.
:mrgreen: The "s" after the preset number is for stereo. It's just so I can tell which ones are set up for stereo recording.
:mrgreen: The ones that end with an "X" are ones I created from the ground up. The rest were "stolen" and edited to fit my needs.
:mrgreen: All, or almost all of these have been checked in mono to make sure that the sound doesn't completely fall apart from phase issues. I may have missed one or two, but I think I got most of 'em checked.
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: One thing I learned that you may or may not have already discovered: The Enhancer DOES make some things sound cool, but it will likely destroy your guitar tracks when in mono. I didn't find one, single, high gain, stereo preset in the Axefx or Axechange that had the Enhancer being used and didn't go to crap in mono. FYI
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: This was a ton of work and it was for my own use. I hope some of you dig some of them. For people new to the Axefx, I think having a bunch of raw presets to start from will really help speed up the process of falling in love with this thing. It is an awesome tool.
Lastly, I'll be posting my banks for Cleans, Cleans with effects, Crunch, Other and Soundfx as I get though them. I hope it helps some of you get dialed in on your tones. PLEASE give me some feedback as I'd love to hear what you think.
Did I really just babble all of that?
cheers,
Steve
PS. :arrow: All of these were created/edited using FW9.0 so if you're still using older FW, you may not like them.
