wow! epic tones from an amazing player that has inspired so many guitarists. thanks Cooper and thanks Neal!

[@Kouros-t6d]

Neal Schon Tom Scholz Steve Lukather Eric Johnson EVH David Gilmour ...they all came from another world

[@DJF1985]

You are a GREAT GUITAR PLAYER!!!!!

[@cryptojihadi265]

Mannnn, I have been wanting this since I got the FX3 Can't beleive it comes when I'm out visiting family! Lol. But what a great Christmas present! Thanks for all the excellent work you guys do for the community!

[@MrSchon1]

Yes! Thanks Cooper. The input gain trick was great. Been doing it with the mix for years. Three knob tube distortion, never really used much, but really opens these amp models up. Another thing Neal uses a lot and no one ever talks much about it is the Boss compressor. Been using it for years in front of Fractals and it’s a game changer. Try it!

[@jeycifullguitar5743]

HOLA, lo usas al inicio de la cadena fuera de fractal? o en el loop?. gracias

[@AudioAtmos]

Awesome GOT finale…and great playing Cooper Carter.👍 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!🎄🎅🎄

[@MiguelBraz]

Love Neal's tone, thanks for this wonderful gift

[@gtrman01]

Yes, finally! Thanks for sharing this Cooper and Fractal!

[@soberelvis4954]

Hey Cooper, I just bought the FM3 from Miles Schon. He said you set it all up for him.

[@2979paul]

The wait is over. Neal is the best. Thanks cooper

[@Mahdi_ddA]

Yeah here we are lets rock happy christmas Cooper and happy new year to you and your family ⭐⭐🌟🤟🤟🤟⭐🌟🌟🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸I hope this 2024 my dreams it comes true to play guitar with you one day you are my inspiration cheers mahdi your big fan 😊😊😊

[@markcarleton6647]

Using the foot controller to control the reverb and delay input gain is such a useful trick. Cooper you have the coolest job! You get to work with guitar legends like Neil Schon and share your knowledge with other players. You’re an amazing player in your own right. Thanks for sharing this!

[@AstorSkywalker]

Thanks Cooper! I love how you dissected every aspect of his playing with hist actual music and integrated it with the Fractal.

[@DeathMetalGuitar]

killing it CC!! love that phrasing... and the GoT preset is awesome!

[@crispybell51]

I have been asking for this for YEARS, finally!! Thank you!!!!!

[@ROKZLEON]

Wow! Those tones bring the sauce!!! Thanks Cooper!!!

[@thehumblepundit9790]

Brilliant stuff! What's hilarious is, I started messing around with the settings, and now found an unbelievable EJ gainy tone. Thanks

[@tdz69]

All I have to say is….thank you for this cooper! Christmas came early for me. Haha

[@MarshallAmpMan]

Nice tones that you did regarding Nealonious! I'm sure he'd be proud. You nail his sound

[@ITheFight]

Wow what a great preset. Some hard work went into this. Sounds amazing, seriously good job man.

[@mattcamacho5570]

Absolutely killer!! Would love to see a preset built on Eddie Van Halen's tone and effects off the "Balance" album. Very curious to see how the axe fx 3 would handle that.

[@Harvey00]

There’s a couple videos helping you build the balance tone that sound great on axe fx.

[@jeffreylbfd]

I d/l this last night and could not stop playing this patch. Very nice!

[@vspaulding1]

Thanks Cooper:)

[@theanalogkid4171]

So cool of Neal and Cooper to share this with us. Now if Hetfield would do the same, not like it would take any $$ from his bank account!

[@peevee605]

Just use a Diezel VH-4 channel 3 paired with a Mesa Mark II C+ and you’re home.

[@fredsmith5791]

Awesome as usual! Gotta love Neal's sound! Thanks so much!

[@bensoncope1006]

Wow!!! Been waiting for this one!!! Simply the best!!! Thanks!!!!

[@francoisross8436]

I’ve been using and modifying the ‘stone in love ‘ factory preset since the Axe II and honestly it is closer to Neal’s tone than this preset IMO. The Dual amp makes a difference in depth. However this gifted patch uses a couple of great features , such as assigned pedals for controlling delay + reverb , reverse delay , and that awesome reverb . I will add them to my Stone in Love patch .

[@blues3531]

Dude. I’ve been wanting this for ever. Hell yes.

[@fishinmagician89]

Bad ass playing too! You got the Schon style down pat!

[@DonOrtiz]

A great Christmas gift! Thanks!🎄🤘🤘

[@markalan1501]

Man you guys Fractal really deliver.

[@bobbrault9902]

Great Gift of Tone episode Cooper! Happy Holidays!😎

[@rsvette123]

Awesome thanks so much Cooper

[@MarlonUrdelas]

This is one of the best Xmas gift from Fractal & G66! Thank you sooo much! 🎉🎄

[@johnhahn1877]

Great playthrough Cooper of the tones of one of my biggest early influences on guitar, Neal Schon!! Can I load this into AXEll XL+?

[@billkurtis4181]

Great playing as usual Cooper!

[@Mahdi_ddA]

I love new York sky run band 😊😊😊😊⭐🌞⭐🌟🇺🇸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@hogger88]

Fractal needs to fix the gift of tone file that you download as it does not work for the FM3 . nothing transfers over when imported or dragged. FM3 unit and Fm edit are up to date as well.

[@podxtv]

Agreed - doesn't import on my FM3 either

[@coopercarter]

I added a new file on the forum that bypasses the editor issue.

[@podxtv]

Thanks Cooper - the preset file from the forum works 😀

[@gitrbldr941]

Great! Thanks

[@lorenzo-agnes]

Fantastic, thank you! And thanks for all your hard work on these Friday episodes. I'd love to see a David Gilmour episode if you haven't done that yet. Happy new year Cooper!

[@brianpike4070]

playing is great! sound is good! It seems to get a little cluttered with all the reverb/delay!! I wonder if it sounds that cluttered live(to your ear)! In a band situation seems like the guitar might get lost or lose some of its clarity! I'm not criticizing, I'm just considering buying one!!

[@coopercarter]

This preset was designed for stadiums. Neal wants to hear his delay and reverb, so it needs to be a bit higher mix to translate in that environment (EQing the actual reverb and delay becomes key, here).

[@Mahdi_ddA]

I love g66 and Fractal fm3 🎉🎉🎉i love songs coast hailee steinfeld feat Anderson Park 😊😊😊⭐⭐⭐🌞🌞⭐🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🌟🌟🎸🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🎸I love USA and pop rock music i hope one day my dreams it comes true to play guitar with hailee steinfeld its my dream when i was kid 😊😊😊

[@javiermp81]

This was the only GoT preset my FM3 MkII couldn’t import. What am I doing wrong? All the other ones worked fine. But this one is super awesome!

[@ramosgweneth6770]

Legend!! underated Mr. Neal Schon

[@jelmerboomsma]

Very generous, many thanks! I noticed there is no volume boost for leads, neither in a filter block or in scene or amp volume change. Does Neil use outboard gear for managing overall volume? Or do the FOH folks handle all volume changes?

[@coopercarter]

FOH

[@IanChesal]

Whoa. Cooper with a Les Paul was a cool twist.

[@djjamssatx]

There’s so much potential with these tones. Grade A guitar tone.

[@willman100]

Killer tones

[@musikus7092]

That S-Type guitar sounds very good. What is it?

[@mdc6724]

import on FM9 does not work, any prerequisites ?

[@tomgray2722]

Hey there, all of the presets are for Axe-Fx III, I couldn't import the FM3 version (and Yes, the firmware is current to v7.00) then decided to check the Sysex details with the utilities in the FM3 Edit. That displayed the NS GoT 2023 FM3.syx is for the Axe-Fx III, in fact the FM9 also displays the same details. Can you upload the correct presets so we can start using this? Thanks!

[@davidbennie2577]

Me too tried several times to download the fm3 version and nothing blank preset?

[@PERRADE]

Tengo un FM3 y no consigo cargarlo. Lo he descargado y borrado varias veces. Lo hago arrastrando normalmente a un preset vacío y siempre ha funcionado con los demás GOT. He intentado desde la ventana para cargar presets y tampoco. Suena muy bien en video...

[@Kouros-t6d]

Are Fractal products at home better be used through active monitors or guitar amps? Thank you.

[@G66eu]

FRFR in stereo are a great solution

[@jittboy1]

Need some help Got the fm3 Turbo sounds like crap in effects loop did unity gain on output 2 but when cab sim is off very harsh is there something I am missing?

[@vspaulding1]

Hi Cooper, I just signed up for F9 master class. Does it explain how to down load Neal Schon"s Presets, thanks.

[@BrettFunkGuitar]

What are the two rack units with the blue and red lights above the white line of numbers? One of them is beneath the AXEII on your left. Thanks!

[@coopercarter]

Power strips!

[@BrettFunkGuitar]

@@coopercarter Really, what kind are they? Thanks!

I HAVE ONE QUESTION CAN YOU CONECT FRACTAL WITH 2X12 EVH CABINET WHAT ELSE I WILL NEED TO BE GREAT SOUND ?

I can’t help but think…it sounds plasticky, brittle and artificial. 😢

[@coopercarter]

You're describing KZbin, not the Fractal.

[@tonykennedy8483]

These things sound majestic in the flesh.

[@blues3531]

It's what Neal plays through live...so. It sounds exactly like he does.
