These free presets are samples from my various packs. They all have multiple scenes and controllers (using 2 or 3 expression pedals). They are bundle presets (except those with a *), meaning they should be imported, and their cab(s) stored at the location of your choice. The preset will always remember where you store the cabs. Both MK I, MK II and XL/XL+ versions are included, use the one suitable to your version of the Axe-Fx.
- Acoustic sim * (from Fremen’s picks)
A preset simulating an electro-acoustic sound using a regular electric guitar (not one with a piezo pickup). This one is optimized for a HSH or HSS pickup configuration, with the selector between bridge and middle pickups. It has 5 scenes : first one is dry, the others adds chorus, delay, crystal effects etc. It also has controllers for three external expression pedals : Pedal 1 morphs the rotary in (when depressed), Pedal 2 morphs the shimmer in (when depressed), Pedal 3 controls the volume.
- Nothing else matters clean (from Fremen’s picks)
My main clean tone, optimized for a HSH or HSS pickup configuration, with the selector between bridge and middle pickups, or the neck pickup if it’s a single coil, or middle position in a HH config. No multiple scenes on this one, however the expression pedal 1, when depressed, adds some shimmer.
- USA MKIIC++ lead (from Fremen’s picks)
My main high gain lead tone, optimized for bridge humbucker. Three scenes ; first one is brighter, second warmer, third adds the enhancer.
- Dumble and Dumbler (from Cleans & Blues)
Fat fusion lead tone, for when I try to pretend I’m Robben Ford. 5 scenes with different gain settings. That one can sustain for days
- JC120 80’s clean * (from Fremen’s picks)
My main “eighties” type clean tone – think Rockman etc. 5 scenes, adding various effects. Expression pedal 1 is used for a dramatic violoning effect, with delay. Expression pedal 2 adds shimmer. Expression pedal 3 controls the volume.
- Friedman BE C45 HGSP (from Metal & Brit)
HGSP stands for “high gain starting pack”, a series of presets I launched several years ago, long before I started selling presets. It has 5 scenes : 1 rhythm, 2 crunch, 3 lead 1, 4 lead 2 (less drive but warmer), 5 recording. There’s 32 HGSP presets in the Metal & Brit pack.
- Matchbox D-30 5SC (from the 5 scenes pack)
A preset using 5 scenes with various amount of gain, from clean (scene 1) to high gain lead (scene 5).
