MEGA Marshall & Mesa Dual Amp Rig | FM9 Preset Build

[@LeonTodd]

What's your favourite dual amp combination?

[@BobGuido]

Left Side - Matchless C-30 | Right Side - Vox AC30TB

[@r.llynch4124]

LT is your go to on anything Fractal, simply the best source out there imo

[@julianmedranoa]

Leon, this is the best tone I ever heard on my Fractal, what a great sound, balanced, clear, amazing, thank you so much!!!!!

[@LeonTodd]

Wow, thanks!

[@dizzyastr989]

I'm so glad you talk about the "Fletcher Munson curve". This is something that I've always struggled with in the world of digital amp modeling. It sucks to have to make those last minute adjustments on stage when you realize that you didn't tame the high end enough. 😬

[@LeonTodd]

"Bro that's really bright!" - everyone playing any preset live that was dialled in at low volume !

[@Taylor___]

@7:17 That sounds amazing.

[@LeonTodd]

I wasn't prepared for how huge that sounded!

[@Taylor___]

@@LeonTodd Amazing. I sent your preset to my band and pleaded with them to download it. Make them Leon! Tell em!!!! James Hetfield uses a mix of a diezel amp and a Mesa amp in his fractal. It’s a mint idea

[@Cymbaline713]

So I tried this on my Helix, combining a Mesa Mk IV and a Diezel VH4 and it's a kick ass combo! Thanks for showing us this!

[@LeonTodd]

My pleasure!

[@Christian72003]

Just now getting familiar enough on the FM9 to really start getting into this. Adding the 800 to the Mark V xt really gave it just the right amount of what I thought it was missing. I have a ton more of Leon lessons to go. Thanks!

[@SethSilvaMusic]

Dude, that DGT really sounds incredible. I’ve been enjoying seeing/hearing it more on the channel. That said though, I’m also a huge fan of your SC245. I still kick myself a bit for not picking one up when they were in production.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah the DGT had certainly jumped right up there with the SC for me.

[@Kmachman72]

I just found my new Judas Priest British Steel preset!!! Thanks Leon!!! This is such a huge sound!!!

[@LeonTodd]

Great to hear!

[@harrysearia1784]

Wait!!!!!!!!! I thought the FM9 couldn't sound any better?!😮

[@rmp5s]

Friggin amazing!!

[@topdarkhorse]

Thanks!

[@LeonTodd]

Thankyou!!

[@AndreVieiraguitarist]

Wow! That's kick ass man! Learning a lot from your videos! Thanks a lot!!! And thanks for sharing the preset!

[@LeonTodd]

My pleasure mate 🙂

[@davidshankle7359]

As always, excellent, really like this new cab stuff. They added. Thanks for the preset.

[@LeonTodd]

The Recto and Friedman cabs in particular!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Wow.. That thing sounds soooo good. The JCM sounded a tad bit better to me, or more of what I personally like, although both sounded great.. It's amazing what can be done now.. When I first started we were happy to get one good amp tone at a time and that was a struggle. As you've stated many times, we live in a golden time for playing guitar.. Just amazing what technology and companies like AxeFx have done for us guitarists man! Love it.. Thanks brother for the great tones! Drinking my second cup of strong coffee and just sat down to see what was on, and this video came up and I had to have a listen.. Be well and be safe sir.. Tell you're family hello from me and I hope they're all well too!

[@LeonTodd]

The Mesa is a 3 piece suit and tie, the Marshall is a leather jacket and boots!

[@Taylor___]

Sounds gorgeous.

[@LeonTodd]

Cheers!

[@jessetate9701]

damn good tones

[@duck2587]

Gnarly!

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Both amps sound heavenly...the jcm 800 is gold to my ears for my glam metal riffs, and the boogie I'd play my trashy black doom barbarian riffs with🤣 just love these videos Leon...love the way you explain EQ-ing 🤘🙏

[@LeonTodd]

The musical equivalent of that handshake scene in Predator :p

[@heavybrett-al4082]

@@LeonTodd classic science

[@steveweilhart2359]

not a fractal owner but man watching your videos makes me want to get one -

[@Cymbaline713]

I'm gonna try this on my Helix!

[@rolandmengedoth2191]

Sounds Killer!!!

[@robzomb5273]

is there a workaround to get a similar sound with the FM3?

[@scottbrady4472]

Stereo is where its at.

[@bro7269]

I always sounds incredible when I hear some else play through these units. I need to downsize and clean up my guitar set up but I’m on the fence between an FM9 or Helix. Having owned an original Axe FX I really hate the menu controls but I may have to suck it up and do it.

[@LeonTodd]

The Fm3/FM9/Axe-Fx III with Axe-Edit are sooo much easier to use and quicker to dial in than the gen 1 stuff

[@eddysel10]

Excellent tutorial as always 🎸👌🏽💯. How do you use / adjust this preset if in a live gig you get only 1 channel (mono) for your guitar. Can you show/ explain this in a new video?

[@LeonTodd]

Mano do céu! Que som maravilhoso, topp!

[@LeonTodd]

🙌

[@charleyshackelford791]

You rule, Leon! This is what I was looking for. You play cool riffs too. Does anybody know if I used the 2 amps in stereo like this for a big sound, would I lose it just going mono to the mixing board at a show?

[@ericolson326]

Apologies if you addressed this in the video and I just wasn't paying close enough attention, but -- is it possible to put a delay first, run just the dry signal to one amp model and just the repeats to a different amp model? Not sure why anyone would WANT to, but that's the question I was left pondering so here we are. 😄

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah just set the delay mix to 100% and place it before just one of the amps

[@sadwingsraging3044]

11:00 🚬😌🎸🎼🎶🎵🎶

[@rexthornton3019]

I just got the FM3 Turbo MK II, do you think I can do the same there? Blending the two amps in Stereo?

[@LeonTodd]

I read my original comment and realised you'd said the FM3. The Fm3 only supports one amp block, apologies for any confusion mate

[@billyturk8117]

"As a little bit of a tickle" 😂

[@atkef2]

nice sound .. :)

[@jameslugo]

I love this video, that preset is crazy good. Your playing keeps evolving, your right right is deadly in this video on those rhythms. I think I'm on whatever the last firmware was on my FM9, maybe 4.1. How do you get these beta FW and are they safe to use? As always you're the king brotha.

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks brother! They get posted on the forum forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fm9-firmware-version-5-00-public-beta-1.196266/page-8#post-2443384 It would be a good place to post your fm9 vids as there's definitely people there who would dig what you dial in!

[@jameslugo]

@@LeonTodd I'm gonna get on that. Are the beta FW safe for your system?

[@LeonTodd]

@@jameslugo yeah most of the time there might be a few little bugs that get picked up before a full release

[@rsvette123]

Thanks Legend :)

[@LeonTodd]

You're the legend!

[@rsvette123]

Got some catching up to you my Friend - you may have missed it how does the feel and sound of the Boss GX-100 compare to an Axe for jamming out of house ? or would you pick new Boss ME-90 - thanks Leon

[@jorgemauriciomercado288]

Leon it would be interesting if you can compare de Fm9 with the real amps like you did with the Ax8 !!

[@LeonTodd]

I enjoyed those but I've gone off the amp comparisons recently for a few reasons. They're very time consuming to do right and there's no shortage of other people doing them. I might change my mind though!

[@CorgoBrown]

Just casually dropping "boonta" in mid video. Tell me you're from Perth without telling me you're from Perth

[@LeonTodd]

Hahaha I'm glad you noticed that. Would love to know where that term originated.

[@Taylor___]

It's like somebody pouring warm honey into my ears.

[@johnevered9640]

oh I’ve been doing my cab low and high cut in the preamp section of the cab block, not the main part! oops

[@LeonTodd]

That's where I generally do it but thought "it's easier to see here" during the vid! Glad you noticed it.

[@robertritzenthaler3775]

Just a suggestion, Leon: maybe consider trying a new IR or consider contrasting another IR to yours in your videos.

[@LeonTodd]

Now dynacabs are out across the board I'll do my best to incorporate that going forward, excellent suggestion!
