EDIT 19 April 2019 : firmware ARES 1.03 versions added.
This is my metal/hard rock pack for the Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II, compatible with Quantum firmware 7.02 and up (older firmware not supported). There’s 157 presets here, for rhythm and lead playing, for live and for recording. These presets are for FRFR systems, not traditional guitar speakers.
These presets uses 52 user cabs, which I made from free sources and various techniques like tone matching. All those cabs are included and must be installed at the user spots indicated by their names (see video, link below). A few are my personal mixes of cabs from Valhallir.at, who gave me permission to share them with my presets. Check their cabs here : http://valhallir.at/en/
Installation procedure for presets and cabs :
You need to drag & drop each cab to its correct spot, according to its filename (Cab 001 goes to user spot 001, etc.)
Custom harmonizer settings (for Eb tuning)
The “Black Star” preset uses the Custom scale 12 (in GLOBAL/Scales) :
3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 3
Have fun !

Hola.
El otro día compré el pack de Metal y suenan estupendos.
He visto que hay otro pack “Brit y metal” ¿son otros ajustes diferentes de Metal diferentes a los que compré?
Gracias y un saludo

Hi, not sure what other pack you’re referring to ; for the Axe 2 I have :
Fremen’s picks
Metal & Brit
Cleans and blues
5 scenes
Acoustic simulation
And, the Amp Packs
So, which exact one do you have, and which one are you considering getting?
Cheers

Hi Maestro, I purchased this pack for my XL+.
I switched to the axe fx 3 so my questions are: can I convert these presets with fractool? Will they sound properly or will need some tweaking cause of new 3.02 FW?
Thank you so much (I’m going to buy Fremen’s pick 3.02 FW updated but don’t want to lose those fantastic presets)

You can try to convert them but there will inevitably be a lot of work to do on them. Converting my Pink Floyd and Fremen’s picks presets all took me between 1 and 2 months of hard work !
