I finally bit the bullet with the holiday special Axe had....not a cheap piece of gear after $$ conversion but well worth it....and way too many cool presets to mention only one !! lol -however, I really enjoyed the Wish You Were Here and Rebel Yell presets you demo'd today! All the best to you and your channel in 2025 Mr.Todd!
everyone did a great job and expanding all the presets with scenes has made the factory set an absolute goldmine. pretty much the first thing i did when i got my axe fx 3 was delete all the presets to make room for my own, but it's so easy to just load a bank, hit the pin and cruise through them in axe edit until you find something interesting. i think matt even snuck one of mine in there and it's not even some fx heavy monstrosity :O)
I've just last nite updated the new FW and downloaded the GoTs.. I'll be getting into trying them out in the next few days.. thanks for showing a sprinkling of the sounds.. can't wait!
Grabbed 27.03 yesterday but didn’t notice the new presets. Great run through on those Leon👌🏻. That Time solo was mint mate - will be checking that patch out for my Sunday jams.
Folks. I am going to get phone book for this. I delete all presets from my stage units. FM3. Axe3. All deleted. I find that everything is much more consistent because as we all know, the axe has so many parameters. Great playing Sir.
ok i just got in the door and already in half vegetative state on the couch. but those blue knobs are calling and i think i have to go down to my studio, install the update and do some exploring on the axe fx
I hadn't tried the factory presets since before all the algorithm updates yet alone the new presets so I started from preset #1. I made it to preset #10 and went into a time warp guitar playing trance. It is a Marshall preset, of course.😀
Merry Christmas etc LT! I hear these may be coming for FM3 too? Also, I was gonna ask ... any chance you could revisit your must do live tweaks (or point me in the direction of a video you've done already?) 🤟
If we download the factory presets to our computer. Can we just pick one at a time or a group at a time to upload to our axe fx without uploading entire banks to our Axe fx
This thing sounds great, but despite all the presets from different artists I keep hearing the same underlying tone, just with different effects. I find it all quite sterile.
What's YOUR go to factory preset?

Modern Eddie but it’s not that factory anymore.
My favorite is the Wes Hauch GOT preset. Doesn't look like that one is included in these new factory presets but I think it should be!

Oh for real! Which one?
@@LeonTodd dunno what it's called, i haven't had a chance to look through them all yet. it's a plexi though, i know that much
So ripping, how many firmware updates is that just in 2024 alone?!! Now that's product support! Just smashing it Fractal 🤘🙏🎸

I like the Les Paul and the Christmas tree. 🌲🤘 Great, great playing as always~
Awesome job Leon - thanks much - Happy New Year

Get that axe fx fired up!
Amazing Leon - thanks for sharing! 27.03 doesn't appear to be available in the States yet but I'll keep an eye out.
Here - forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/axe-fx-iii-firmware-27-03-release.210369/
I love Mark Days presets! Recto heaven🤘🤘
Me too!
8:40 - that choppy tremolo would work great for the bass in "One of These Days"....
Fractal is so cool for releasing this! Gift of tone is fabulous Love it
Can’t wait for the next version of fractal units with touch screens etc, those twiddley knobs and scrolling menus are the reason why I’ve held off
considering they literally just released a new unit the vp4 with NO touch screen. It appears you will be waiting some time.
that's what the edit is for. couldn't be easier
Using pitch tracking to drive parameters in amps and effects is one of the most brilliant techniques ever!
It opens up a whole new world of sonic possibilities!
When I grow up I want to a be a rocker like Leon. Rad walkthrough 🤘🏿
6:50 you got THE moves!
Thanks for the gift of your videos! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year bro 🤟🏻
HNY brother!

Yep to both!
Merry Christmas Leon 😊
Merry Christmas! Hope you're keeping cool and enjoying yourself mate
I wondered if Meditation Workshop was created by Simeon Harris?
Aaron Marshall with single coils 👌🏻
Thanks for posting this, Leon.
You're welcome!
I REEAAAALLLYYY like the black and turquoise knobs!!!! We NEED this on the fm3 edit!!!!
Soooon
Gary Moore!!!!! So thankful to see one of his best riffs and songs represented here!
That song melted my brain when I first heard it.
A Christmas day miracle . I heard a string noise at 1:36 .. He is human after all
:p
All great stuff.
This is a great excuse for me to totally reconfigure my presets, they were a complete mess. Time to start fresh, after a backup of course!
It's always good to tidy up!
Some Eric Johnson tone on that Crystal Echoes preset. Hope all is good mate.
Cheers mate! That one is bliss
Do you know if the FM3 is getting updated presets?
Yes, currently in the works
As an exercise, I decided to try to identify the "best" GoT preset according to my ears. I failed. Too many good things.
That's a good problem to have!
What year is your Les Paul. And what pickups are you using. It’s badass
1990, butstbuckers
@@LeonTodd Thanks my friend. Keep the killer 80s licks coming. Great playing and great content!!!!!!
Hi Leon, What power amp do you like to use with your ax fx 3 ?
Thanks mate for the continued great content! What LP is that?… custom shop? 😀🎸
1990 custom 🤘
Excellent!!!
Can you also use these on your FM9?
See no i want one but still to pricey for my budget...great review !!
Its a Sendoff Update before the Namm Show
Fractal sell direct so they don't do NAMM
If we download the factory presets to our computer. Can we just pick one at a time or a group at a time to upload to our axe fx without uploading entire banks to our Axe fx
Yes. Use manage presets and drop the bank folder into the browse sidebar
How about FM9? Are new presets incoming?
Soon
Great sounds. But, this LP si something very special.
Indeed it is!
Will the Axe Fx 3 presets work in an FM3,. as long as there is just one amp?
There's dedicated FM3 factory presets coming
awesome
🗣🗣THE END OF THE WOOOOOORLD🗣🗣
That intro solo \m/
Neal baby😂
SM57, great for recording cabs, horrible for vocals (unless you're Mike Patton)
Just too expensive in today’s amp/effects modelling market.
This thing sounds great, but despite all the presets from different artists I keep hearing the same underlying tone, just with different effects. I find it all quite sterile.
Ok Kemper boy, go away❤
@@xprophet9 oh hell no, at least Fractal has great effects.
🇷🇺🤝
Can these be used on the FM9?
Most will work, but there's Fm9 specific versions coming!
