EV53 TM – Fractal Presets (Axe-FX III, FM3, FM9)

This download includes patches for Axe-FX III, FM3, and FM9

OUR EVH 5150 III, NOW IN YOUR FRACTAL HARDWARE 

For these presets, we tone-matched the 5150 amp model in the Fractal hardware to our Fender/EVH 5150 iii. The result is a Tone Match/IR that completely transforms the Fractal amp model – it sounds exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.

The FM3 presets cannot fit all the effects into a single patch. For that platform, we include the amp and essential effects in the main presets, and then we include the additional effects blocks in the ‘FX’ preset. Feel free to mix and match the additional ‘FX’ blocks into the main patches to suite your needs.

BLOCK CHANNELS

For each effect block, we set up all four channels to give you as many options as possible for each individual effect types. For example, in the Compressor block, there are four different types of compression. For drives, we use all available channels in each drive block to get different overdrive flavors. Please experiment with the channels in all the different blocks to find your favorites. Typically we use our favorites in Channel A.

The exceptions to this are usually the amp and cab blocks – for those we usually only set up Channel A.
