AFIII RedSeven D100 Pre with Axe FX III as power amp.

Hey guys! After watching one of @2112 's videos on ideas for using the Fractal as a power amp, I made a preset and recorded this video. Really cool ways to use different sounds. First tones are using the Tube Pre in the amp block, but using the power amp emulation of fender amps. For the gainier tones, Tube Pre in amp block but using the power amp of JCM800. Pairing it with different cabs really gives a whole new experience to using rack preamps!

Great sound and congratulations on your great playing.

Thank you!!

Really like your tones...and if I understand you right you are only just using the Tube Pre in the amp block without an amp?

There's magic in those fingers!

Right…. So the analog preamp into input 1, then in the chain I open an amp block, and I assign the “tube pre” model. I remember reading somewhere that the tone stack is passive, so if you dont tweak anything in the first page, it works great as a power amp platform. Then I use the impedance curve and power amp modeling of whichever amp I want to model. Ill post a preset later

Dude, I love the feel of the music there, the sense of timing. That was just truly great.

Makes sense and also explains the headroom you are able to achieve...look forward to see how you configured this in a preset. I have always felt like many of the amp models start to lose headroom as the gain starts to get aggressvie, especially with a drive on top of the pre-amp. Appreciate your insight.

I just gotta go back and put some stock cabs, because I was using a lot of York Audio cabs I purchased which won't open whenever someone tries the preset. I'll try to do it tonight!

When you post the preset make sure you throw in the "talent" block as a bonus!

Beautiful, the intro was so perfect for Thom Yorke to sing over, then your picking at the end was fantastic.
