There is - To accomplish this, peeps could just post presets that just contain only drive blocks in Axechange with description of "Drive..."I think it would be beneficial to the community if there was a repository or a library of people's settings to emulate different pedals and pedal modes using the existing options in the Axe.
There used to be a mother-of-all-effects emulation thread that people would post block SysEx files to along with descriptions. Not sure that it got translated for the III or the FM3.

Let’s do it again. I created a new version of the AFII thread for the III/3.There used to be a mother-of-all-effects emulation thread that people would post block SysEx files to along with descriptions.

You could, you know, be the change you want to see the world here in that regard?
We just need one thread to cover both the III and the FM3 now, which is nice. The block files are interchangeable for the most part. And we export just single channels from blocks too. Also a nice improvement to sharing.
I'll toss some stuff in there this week.Let’s do it again. I created a new version of the AFII thread for the III/3.
White LEDs are available in the drive block advanced tab as of the date of this post (AXE-FX III FW25.02). I believe white LEDs are even higher with Vf about 3.3V. Either way, great information. Thanks!Before I got my FM3, I built a clone of the KOT. The FM3 model was so close that I couldn’t tell the difference. I put the pedal up on Reverb the next day.
Although Fractal didn’t model the clean boost or distortion, you can use the advanced settings to create the other two modes. Attached to this post are blocks for the distortion and clean boost modes. The King of Tone uses clipping diodes in an opamp feedback loop to create distortion. Each mode corresponds to a different selection of clipping diodes. All modes are symmetrical, i.e. uses the same diode/number of diodes for the positive and negative side of the wave:
The ability to change diodes in the advanced tab is a very powerful tool, and, paired with the above information, will allow us to recreate the missing KOT modes.
- Overdrive: Two S1588 diodes
- Distortion: One MA856 diode
- Boost: No diodes
For the distortion mode, we do not have the MA856 diode that Analogman uses. However, we do have the 1N914, which has essentially the same clipping properties as the MA856 (Vf ≈ .68). Selecting one 1N914 for both the positive and negative diode will give you the KOT distortion mode.
For boost mode, you want to have an arrangement that produces no diode clipping. There is not a "no diode" option, but there is a Blue LED option. Blue LEDs have a very high headroom (Vf ≈ 3.2), and require a hotter signal in order to start clipping. We can further raise the headroom by placing additional blue LEDs in series with the first one. One blue LED has a Vf of approximately 3.2 volts; increasing that to four blue LEDs will result in a Vf of approximately 12.8 volts, which is so high that it will not clip at all. This gives us our clean boost mode.
