The purpose of these presets is that each one can be used for a full song, or even a full gig – I used a similar preset in my Axe-Fx III for a full show recently. Based on my Axe-Fx III Amp Packs (*), but re-dialed for the FM9, each of these 89 presets is meant to be used live, with 8 scenes :
1 Rhythm
2 Crunch (less gain)
3 Lead 1
4 lead 2 (wetter, fatter than lead 1)
5 Fender style clean
6 Fender style clean with chorus
7 Eighties style glassy clean
8 Acoustic simulation
Scene 1 to 4 uses the same amp model/channel, with various amount of gain, so there’s no sound cut going from rhythm to crunch to lead, unlike what you have when using different channels. Each preset use a different amp model (full list below). The amount of gain in scenes 1 to 4 goes from rock to metal, except for the 13 presets using boutique amps, which are more suitable for classic rock/blues-rock/fusion.
Scenes 5 to 8 have the same amps/effects settings in each preset – the effects settings in the 13 “boutique” presets are slightly different. Those 13 presets also uses a different “clean” amp for scenes 5 & 6.
Also included are 26 custom cabs, including one for acoustic simulation. As usual, those presets are for FRFR systems.
Firmware version : up to 11.00 (just added).

(*) I made 495 Axe-Fx III Amp Packs, available in packs of 15 presets and different bundles. I didn’t want to make as much for the FM9, as making (and updating when needed because of new firmware) so many presets is too time consuming ! This single pack is like the Axe-Fx III “Sampler” bundle version, but with 89 presets instead of 33.
Note : These presets are compatible with the Axe-Fx III, but NOT with the FM3. They have more stuff derived from the Axe-Fx III versions, that the FM3 can’t handle.
