New firmware, new video...
I now use a MFC-101 midi foot controller, with three expressions pedals. One controls the "In Gain", the two others are external 1 and external 2. I shot that video just after starting updating my presets :
Here's how my presets are organized :
Bank A
001-073 : Live use. Basic sounds in bank (presets 1-10), then song specific presets. Most uses scenes for variations.
074-103 : "blank" presets with a basic template in case I want to start a preset from scratch. I also upload other users' presets I want to test here.
104-128 : Other presets for live use, or just having fun at home. Preset 108 is a guitar matching block : http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-tone-match/61913-tone-matching-guitars.html
Bank B
129-136 : Recreations of some presets I used on the Standard. May sound slightly different now, they were created on firmware 7
137-199 : Hi gain amps, for lead and rhythm, ordered by amp model. Presets are either stock (with V9 in the name, except when there's also "TDR"), by other users (and usually tweaked to my liking), or by myself from scratch.
208-217 : Vox amps
221-256 : Boutique amps, presets for blues-rock or fusion
BANK C
257-286 : Marshall models (and clones, except the Friedmans which are in bank B, 182-187)
289-298 : Special effects, with distortion
302-384 : Cleans, special effects, synths, bass, templates. I tweaked the amps/cabs/EQ in most of the special effects presets so they're close to my basic clean sounds
User IRs - please read !
Most of my presets won't sound the same if you don't have my user IRs. Unfortunately, some of them are commercial ones, from Ownhammer, RedWirez, Signals Audio etc. and I can't share them. But I can give you the links for the IRs used, and some indications for the recipes where I use mixes (2 or 3 IRs combined into one using Axe-O-Matic DSP : http://www.ownhammer.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=81 ).I didn't write the mixes recipes, but most of the time, the filename has the basic indications. Example : IR 15, which filename is “15 RW 1960A-G12Ms-M160-ConeEdge0in(60)SM57CapEdge0.5(20)CapOffAx0.5(20).syx
This mix use three microphones on the same RedWirez Marshall 1960A cab :
– Beyer M160, Cone Edge, 0 inch distance (60 = the relative level of the IR, that’s the number I entered in AxeOmatic DSP, which I used to make mixes)
– Shure SM57, CapEdge, 0.5 inch (relative level = 20)
– Shure SM57, CapOff Axis, 0.5 inch (relative level = 20)
