Glad you like them!

I was up till 3am checking out a mesa mark V and a 4x12 road king slant. Got up thus morning and followed your build and gawd damn it sounds amazing…. I’m still thinking of getting the amp and cab and using fractal for effects. What’s your thoughts on this the sound is so close idk if I’d just be getting the mesa fir bragging right or what but I’m 54 and the mesa pretty much is the amp for me… any thoughts on this? Awesome sauce on the tips man!!

[@LeonTodd]

Great amps, and playing through an amp and cab is a fundamentally different experience. Can't go wrong either way.

[@aciek]

Need to test it today on my FM3! :) Should sound awesome for metal riffs!

[@seventhsealhere]

Sweet boogie goodness! 👍

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

When you say the 2:90 was known for 'ducking' what does that mean?

[@LeonTodd]

Ducking delay means the delay will be quieter while you're playing and louder when you're not. It "ducks" under your main signal.

[@AJPMUSIC_OFFICIAL]

@@LeonTodd thats sounds really useful cheers for the explanation. Have you ever done a tutorial on setting that up? Thanks for all the content man!

[@Terribleguitarist89]

I'm honestly curious how the J2PC and Studio Preamp compare tonally. I've had a studio pre since I was a teen, so it would be nice to hear what I'm missing to motivate me to save my pennies haha

[@LeonTodd]

They can sound very, very similar. The JP2C shred switch and pull presence add a few extra options and overall they have different workflows.

[@thehumblepundit9790]

Insane!! Just got an FM3 and need to try this with my New Charvel DK24 HH. What Cab? Thanks so much for these EPIC tone spots. Incredibe.

My bad, this cab axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?cab=687

@@LeonTodd thanks!! Is this FM3 compatible?

[@francescocagnacci]

Love the charvels. I have an hsh one...

[@CortlanGK]

Did you use IR LT TV mix 7 ?

[@LeonTodd]

Yes, forgot to mention that

[@RamboMadCow]

I didn't hear you mention how these actually compared to the real amp. What are your thoughts on that now? Is it just my ears or does the Red mode have a lot more bass than the yellow mode? Also, did you happen to upload this to Axechange?

[@LeonTodd]

I only borrowed the real amp for a few days and didn't get a chance to do a definitive side by side, but I'm very impressed with how good the models are.

[@rockstarjazzcat]

🤘🏼

[@yanossnicklefritz7064]

Great tone and playing as always Leon. I never seem to see you mix in compression, but you make some great tones. I can't live without it in my presets I write or I can't get it where I like it.

[@LeonTodd]

Love compression on clean tones!

[@yanossnicklefritz7064]

@@LeonTodd That's interesting. I like it less on cleans and more to tighten up dirty tones and give them greater sustain. I'm a very simple tonal guitar player it seems to everyone else. I have always basically just used 3 tones, clean, dirty and dirtier. Leaving compression and delay on all the time when playing out and simply working my volume knob when I want to clean things up a bit and changing to the dirtiest tone for some leads. Or depending on the rig, hitting a overdrive pedal used as a boost. To each his own though. Cool. I was just curious.

[@adam4900]

With regards to the not effected amp sounds, axe records poorly. Metallica tweaked it and sounds like shit. Effects compensate. Do yourself a favour and buy a real tube amp. Kemper sounds more natural but real amp still wins.

[@LeonTodd]

I'll have to check out one of these tone amps one day

[@yanossnicklefritz7064]

I don't have an AXE-FX yet and still just an FM3, but I find it records great. Just like into my ISP FS8 cabinet, I get the best sound by running it XLR out XLR into my interface. I eq it more after like everything else for the best mix, but I'm getting great tones. All this is obviously a person by person view and taste, because the Kempers never impressed me enough to want one. And I find I get much better overall recording tones from the FM3 and some of my amp sims plugins, compared to recording my amps, like my Mesa Boogie Mark V, in the limits of my personal studio. I can't crank it to levels to get the tubes and speakers really pushing for the best tones, compared to what the FM3 and TH-U do quietly.

[@TheCyberMantis]

He has "real amps". And he also uses Fractal stuff. And it all sounds great. Who cares what Metallica does with it.
