NEW Axe-Fx III Factory Presets Are INCREDIBLE | Firmware 27.03 & Re Gift of Tone

[@LeonTodd]

What's YOUR go to factory preset?

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

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!

[@TFT-bp8zk]

Modern Eddie but it’s not that factory anymore.

[@metalheadbill]

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!

[@Simeon_Harris]

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)

[@LeonTodd]

Oh for real! Which one?

[@Simeon_Harris]

@@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

[@heavybrett-al4082]

So ripping, how many firmware updates is that just in 2024 alone?!! Now that's product support! Just smashing it Fractal 🤘🙏🎸

[@BobbyLaneProductions]

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!

[@greghitt1704]

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.

[@SteveWilliamsworld]

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.

[@AdamGotheridge]

I like the Les Paul and the Christmas tree. 🌲🤘 Great, great playing as always~

[@rsvette123]

Awesome job Leon - thanks much - Happy New Year

[@Retrograde6]

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

[@LeonTodd]

Get that axe fx fired up!

[@tjmaclean]

Amazing Leon - thanks for sharing! 27.03 doesn't appear to be available in the States yet but I'll keep an eye out.

I love Mark Days presets! Recto heaven🤘🤘

[@LeonTodd]

Me too!

[@NudnikShpilkus]

8:40 - that choppy tremolo would work great for the bass in "One of These Days"....

[@skipneumann1]

Fractal is so cool for releasing this! Gift of tone is fabulous Love it

[@rinkydinky-ob9pe]

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

[@pontiacpower421]

considering they literally just released a new unit the vp4 with NO touch screen. It appears you will be waiting some time.

[@Retrograde6]

that's what the edit is for. couldn't be easier

[@JoshuaSimonson909]

Using pitch tracking to drive parameters in amps and effects is one of the most brilliant techniques ever!

[@LeonTodd]

It opens up a whole new world of sonic possibilities!

[@derekmalunow8962]

When I grow up I want to a be a rocker like Leon. Rad walkthrough 🤘🏿

[@rutger4131]

6:50 you got THE moves!

[@MKRISING75]

Thanks for the gift of your videos! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year bro 🤟🏻

[@LeonTodd]

HNY brother!

[@alforddavis3427]

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.😀

[@Dooogz]

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?) 🤟

[@LeonTodd]

Yep to both!

[@murrayguitarpickups9545]

Merry Christmas Leon 😊

[@LeonTodd]

Merry Christmas! Hope you're keeping cool and enjoying yourself mate

[@BobGuido]

I wondered if Meditation Workshop was created by Simeon Harris?

[@davemonroig5358]

Aaron Marshall with single coils 👌🏻

[@jackmeginniss6327]

Thanks for posting this, Leon.

[@LeonTodd]

You're welcome!

[@bleeddean1989]

I REEAAAALLLYYY like the black and turquoise knobs!!!! We NEED this on the fm3 edit!!!!

[@LeonTodd]

Soooon

[@marksloan9058]

Gary Moore!!!!! So thankful to see one of his best riffs and songs represented here!

[@LeonTodd]

That song melted my brain when I first heard it.

[@guitarplayer1434]

A Christmas day miracle . I heard a string noise at 1:36 .. He is human after all

[@LeonTodd]

:p

[@DavidShankle1]

All great stuff.

[@metalheadbill]

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!

[@LeonTodd]

It's always good to tidy up!

[@jamesnorton7601]

Some Eric Johnson tone on that Crystal Echoes preset. Hope all is good mate.

[@LeonTodd]

Cheers mate! That one is bliss

[@ksjohnson8197]

Do you know if the FM3 is getting updated presets?

[@LeonTodd]

Yes, currently in the works

[@peterharvin2775]

As an exercise, I decided to try to identify the "best" GoT preset according to my ears. I failed. Too many good things.

[@LeonTodd]

That's a good problem to have!

[@Terry_Aki]

Hi Leon, What power amp do you like to use with your ax fx 3 ?

[@joemartinez6025]

What year is your Les Paul. And what pickups are you using. It’s badass

[@LeonTodd]

1990, butstbuckers

[@joemartinez6025]

@@LeonTodd Thanks my friend. Keep the killer 80s licks coming. Great playing and great content!!!!!!

[@robtownleyofficial]

Thanks mate for the continued great content! What LP is that?… custom shop? 😀🎸

[@LeonTodd]

1990 custom 🤘

[@mikedtubey]

Excellent!!!

[@LouCondon-j1v]

Can you also use these on your FM9?

[@jesterraj]

See no i want one but still to pricey for my budget...great review !!

[@koolbreeze8698]

Its a Sendoff Update before the Namm Show

[@LeonTodd]

Fractal sell direct so they don't do NAMM

[@boardwlk17]

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

[@LeonTodd]

Yes. Use manage presets and drop the bank folder into the browse sidebar

[@AdamGuitar87]

How about FM9? Are new presets incoming?

[@LeonTodd]

Soon

[@VanjaSpirin]

Great sounds. But, this LP si something very special.

[@LeonTodd]

Indeed it is!

[@JHPRS]

Will the Axe Fx 3 presets work in an FM3,. as long as there is just one amp?

[@LeonTodd]

There's dedicated FM3 factory presets coming

[@TheJoecoool]

awesome

[@Stinger_1995]

🗣🗣THE END OF THE WOOOOOORLD🗣🗣

[@LeonTodd]

That intro solo \m/

[@2979paul]

Neal baby😂

[@shaharbar]

SM57, great for recording cabs, horrible for vocals (unless you're Mike Patton)

[@trevorarthurson6815]

Just too expensive in today’s amp/effects modelling market.

[@robertlevasseur8896]

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.

[@xprophet9]

Ok Kemper boy, go away❤

[@robertlevasseur8896]

@@xprophet9 oh hell no, at least Fractal has great effects.

[@QPR41]

🇷🇺🤝

[@a_single_white_female]

Can these be used on the FM9?

[@LeonTodd]

Most will work, but there's Fm9 specific versions coming!
