This pack has 70 presets (+ 51 IRs, including many not used in my other packs), for Axe-Fx III firmware 18.03 (older firmware not supported – latest firmware version included : 32.02. All the presets have three or more scenes, with rhythm, crunch and lead settings.
This is the follow-up to my Rock & Metal pack (https://fremenpresets.com/downloads/rock-metal-pack-axe-fx-iii/), using different amp models : PRS Archon, Mesa Triple Crown, Soldano, CAE3+, Thordendal, Cornford, Engl Powerball, all the 5150 versions, Bad Cat, Cameron, Splawn, Carvin Legacy, Marshall JVM, plus a few Fractal Audio specific models. But, I also included a few presets using the Mesa MK amps, to reproduce some more sounds of a certain bearded guitarist from my favorite prog-metal band, using tone matching.
As usual, this pack is for FRFR systems, and is optimized for stereo.
For the video above, I used a DAW project and DI tracks from Pro Mix Academy, “Mixing Extreme Metal by Chernobyl Studios” (*). Besides some low end cut on the rhythm tracks, there is absolutely no processing/EQ/whatever on the guitar tracks, and I didn’t tweak the related presets either. Each guitar track has the name of the preset used.
This second video also uses DI tracks from Pro Mix Academy (“Mixing Extreme Metal by Chernobyl Studios”, “Mixing Math Rock with Glenn Fricker”, “Producing Prog Metal with Glenn Fricker”). You can get the courses here : https://promixacademy.com/
This third demo below was made with 19.00 firmware ; I redialed some of the Archon presets, and updated all the 6160 presets.
The 4th video, played by my friend Xavier Pompon, was recorded with presets Archon 1 (left channel) and Archon 2 (right channel, the camera performance).
This preset was added as a bonus for firmware 27.02 :
