Presets/builds/tips/tricks - youtube - Fractal FM3

[Paul Bradshaw]

here's a new one on using boosts and ways of tightening up a hi-gain tone using an amp that i'd typically not use and notoriously maybe quite bass heavy (Recto)

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

Tried something a bit different on the FM3 today, to try and get those solid state feel amp tones from back in the day,
some of those oldschool solidstate amps/hybrids had some really cool tones in them while those models don't exist in the Fractal for now, here's an idea on how to get that feel/sound using a different approach

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

been quite busy with gigs of late, put these two together following Firmware 10 official release

one's a basic video to help out a friend of mine wondering how to make the FM3 into a basic looper (why not =) and then an overview of say the CPU increase in firmware 10

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

looked at scene controllers today
not sure if it's something people are using or are aware of, but can have some pretty cool applications especially on say the FM3 / reverb block

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

Put this one together to help people out getting 'gig ready'

While traditional amps/cabs are a bit more straight forward, there's a few things to bear in mind when playing live with say the FM3
so here's like a checklist and advice based on my experience with the FM3, it definitely also applies to other units hence the thumbnail, but thought i'd put this one here too

and following on from the scene controllers, here's a video on control switches , if you feel like checking it out

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

did a preset based on the band : Turnstile
really cool band if you haven't heard of them or seen already, hardcore punk band in their roots that's really branched out in the last albums, they have some really good syncopated/rhythmic style riffs, bit of a challenge if you're not used to that style of playing

Finally back to some Fractal videos on the channel, looking closer at Reb Beach's amp settings after working on the show in Luxembourg late last year

Winger stuff is tricky to play but a lot of fun, preset in my usual downloads , info in the video

Great preset! Thank's!

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

thought i'd share the fun of blending a really small speaker (the 1x4 PIG 57 with say a 4x12) can really fill out/sizzle out tones further

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

just working on a new preset, stumbled on using some 1x12s instead of 4x12s for some metal tone, worked out quite well, at least for the style of heavy/saturation I like

Há algum parâmetro que eu deva ajustar além das configurações padrão do amplificador?

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

went over some quick workflow tips for Fractal Edit this week, mainly useful i guess for beginners or people new to fractal but there might be some things in there for you

 

[Paul Bradshaw]

Há algum parâmetro que eu deva ajustar além das configurações padrão do amplificador?

I'm afraid I don't speak portuguese, but translated it:

Are there any parameters I should adjust in addition to the amplifier's default settings?

I think one of the most useful parameters to tweak in the amp block is in the Input EQ page : Low Cut
tweaking this one value can really help tighten up tones and get a different response, that might be better in the process

new preset this week for metal (in my usual downloads and also axe-change actually for this one), walkthrough and some various tones, hope you enjoy this one
