So with the incredible new Factory presets that Fractal Audio has gifted us, I have started working through them and have set up a page on my website that has examples of the ones that I enjoy playing. I have started at the end of the list and am working down numerically. Below are links and artwork to some of the first examples on that page. I am calling them AXamples, a bit like the AxeChange. I think this would be a great thing to implement on the AxeChange, to have example links of people who have used a preset and have an example of how it sounds with guitar x, y or z. I will be contacting the folk at Fractal to see if they want to implement any such thing, but either way, I am putting my examples on my webpage. I have also posted a few Axamples of Fremen presets that I purchased and will continue to do so with his presets as well as ones that I develop on my own.

If you have any examples of presets that you like and want to share samples, feel free to post them in this thread. I see these posts working out as follows (though nothing is set in stone):

1. Posts should be of an audio example of a specific preset. Not multiple presets.

2. Preset can be for any Fractal unit (but should be noted in cases where it may not work on some modelers).

3. Meta info should be included to allow users to quickly search for presets that meet their criteria. I am thinking something like this:
Code:
Preset #:
Preset Name:
Preset Status:
Preset FW (optimized for):
Fractal Device:
Source:
Guitar:
Signal Chain:
Processing:
Other Modifications:
Notes:
See next few posts for examples of examples.

4. In my view, this is not a place for comments on the presets nor the playing (emojis should suffice to display your emotions) but instead, keeping it as just posts of audio preset examples being used with certain guitars and configurations.

Let me know if there are any other ideas you can think of to make this a nice repository for AXamples of preset tones.
