The Complete 383 Fractal Audio Factory Presets | Part 1 |

[@biol00p]

This has got to be the best showcase of the factory presets I’ve seen! Cheers from the South East Us !

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Wow, thanks!

[@GS-uy4xo]

Frank you really played the preset instead just playing riffs - the result looks to be pretty gratifying. Excellent stuff indeed!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks a lot :)

[@heut4384]

Lol. I can see you're really enjoy playing guitar using fractal. I can't wait to enjoy too. I'm still waiting Fractal company to ship my FM9.

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Yeah thats awesome. The FM9 will make you happy for sure :)

[@socomfranken]

Thank you so much Frank for this amazing job - for sure a huge effort !! Finally not clear to me, what i love more - The really damn good factory sounds, or your fantastically outstanding playing 😊🤘 Looking forward for your next updates - Have a good time !

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks dude. Much appreciated :)

[@THINJIMI]

Thanks for the show! I just ordered one of these FM3’s and heard the factory presets are ready to go! Sounds like it to me. Thanks again!

Thank you Frank. I am still on the waiting list for the FM9 and your videos confirm I've made the right choice!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Excellent!

[@fractalaudiosystems]

So much fun!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thank you so much. Happy New Year bro :)

[@jovangosen]

One of the best players on YT....!!! Very nice and clear in every music style! But just a question: is the FM 3 capable, to do the ambient and synth sounds or must it be the FM 9 ......regarding the memory..... Thanks a Lot!!

[@eddysel10]

Great video. It is clear how much you like music. I am on the waiting list for the FM9. Hope to get a mail soon that it is available to buy. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy the presets from your video's. Now I understand what people mean when they say that this unit has the best presets out of the box. I will be watching / listen to all the 383 presets from your video's. I hope Fractal will compensate you for this excellent work. They will sell more units for sure due to your excellent work.

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks man. Much appreciated :)

[@EsperanzaLibertad-sh6sv]

Some really amazing tasteful playing in that demo. Thank you! :)

You are a amazing guitar player! Thanks for your time and to give as a such a great time appreciating the presents and your solos! Keep going I just subscribed now!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thank you so much dude! Much appreciated :)

[@MarkThomasMusic]

I wish I had a cool neighbor like you

[@holdenwitt8827]

Just bought the fm9 about an hour ago and cannot wait. Sounds like it's going to be a big improvement over my current axe fx II. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Great playing by the way!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

You will love the FM9 ❤️🤘🎸

[@gritsguitar]

Breathtaking....you should make a compilation album with this...Thank you.

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Great idea!

[@_mysilentblue2227]

So many killer tones and so many killer licks.

Thanks dude!!!

[@GlenLaForceMusic]

That was awesome! I like how your putting patches in context with backing tracks. Happy New year!💪🏻

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks Glen. Much appreciated :)

[@oliver6749]

I just subscribed, I loved this video and holy crap you're a good guitar player!! Do you just plug the fractal into a speaker cabinet or an amp? Does the original fractal have the same presets as the latest one? Thanks Frank, I look forward to checking out your other video's.

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks a lot Oliver. My Fractal goes straight into my audio-interface. Then into the DAW. I'm using my ADAM A7X Studio monitors. I'm showcasing the newest Fractal Audio factory presets (Axe-Fx 3, FM3, FM9). Cheers Frank

[@JaisJamison]

Love it at 22:35

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Yes...that's a nice riff in F#m. Love it too :)

[@1kshoundog]

Thanks Frank! You have some beautiful guitars too!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Oh yes, I'm very happy with my guitars.

[@fredmillard5018]

thank you much Frank. I would love to know how you play some of the riffs you displayed. Any chance you offer tab for some of the pieces?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Sorry dude. No tabs. Sometimes I play famous guitar riffs and sometimes I create my own riffs or musical ideas. I always try to create something that makes the preset sound good. Cheers Frank

[@fredmillard5018]

@@FrankSteffenMueller you are a fantastic player. Very inspirational

[@alidemar]

Que belleza de sonido, además es un hombre muy talentoso para tocar la guitarra, muy expresivo... felicitaciones...

Muchas gracias.

[@tomaselke3670]

I really want the FM9, but MAN is it getting hard to wait while I know all of these great tones are out there in the other form factors.

[@mikegibsonincognito4580]

Hi Frank thank you for the time and effort you put into making this video for us, awesome guitar playing throughout. Would you provide the volume setting on you guitar generally throughout. I have just got my FM9 and was a little disappointed in the sounds I was getting. I use a PRS P 24 guitar with the volume rolled off to say to 60%. But even at full bore with input gain as suggested and levelling outputs playing through FRFR cab in mono I just can’t get close to your sound. I would appreciate any guidance to how you arrive at such a good sound. Cheers 😊

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Hi dude, my pickups are low output. When I need a cleaner tone I reduce the volume on my guitar like on a real amp. Tell me one specific preset that sucks. Cheers Frank

[@glencruciani]

That Les Paul is great!!!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Yes...killer guitar

[@sidggw]

Whats the song at the 17 min mark? it feels so familiar yet fresh....

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

This is my song " Dreams Never End"

[@Hectrucci2]

That's such an amazing great piece of work!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks dude. Much appreciated :)

[@MiguelBraz]

Awesome work Frank

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Ambient.Music.Studio]

are all these direct presets with in the FM3 Mk II Turbo Amp Modeler/FX Processor? I'm on the fence between the FM3 Mk II Turbo Amp Modeler/FX Processor or Boss GT1000 ... any thoughts?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Yes... all these presets are stock Factory Presets from the FM3, FM9 and Axe-Fx3. Dude, the Boss is great for sure, but Fractal is simply the best.

[@Ambient.Music.Studio]

thanks much for the reply ... you're an amazing and highly gifted guitarist ... definitely making me take more time before making any decisions between the FM3 and GT1000; mostly into ambient and David Gilmour type tones; thanks again!

[@steph3029]

Many thanks to you Franck for this great exploration - could you tell us how are we getting the sound ? from monitor speaker ? thanks by advance ! Cheers from France !

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks man. You can get a great sound from Monitor speakers, but for than Amp-like feeling you need some good FRFR speakers like Red Sound MF10. Cheers :)

[@BobBob-rt1vl]

Vielen Dank!

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

You're welcome :)

[@markusschmid6315]

Awesome work. While I am waiting for my fm9: are the presents balanced volume-wise?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks Markus. Hope you'll get your FM9 soon. The Factory presets are balanced - more or less.

[@Imper1alDJ]

Exelente!!!

[@guitaraddicted87]

Hi Frank, first of all your video is awesome. I just bought a used FM3 because your video was too good! Unfortunately my sound really suck compare to yours. I reset the Fm3 to be sure and I am connected to my Audio Interface to play on my monitor and it's really not like your sound from factory preset. Did you change someting in the EQ or anything else?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Hey dude, I'm sorry if you're not happy with your sound. Sometimes I change the amount of reverb or the delay mix. But nothing dramatic. On the Axe-Edit photo in the video you can see my settings. How does it sound with headphones?

[@guitaraddicted87]

@@FrankSteffenMueller I did not try it becuase I don't have quality studio headphone for the moment. I was only running on my studio monitor, directly usb with reaper or with 2 xlr cable direct in my soundcard. But the sound is very muddy and miss dynamics when I used factory preset compare to yours

[@slashrose270]

Hey, here the same. My sound really suck compare to yours. My gear: FM9, Gibson Les Paul Standard and Koss Porta Pro headphones. The sound here is very low.

Amazing 🌹

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thanks man 🙏

[@cristianmiranda7635]

Excellent video! You help me with a question. I have a slight background noise on my fm9 (like in your video when you finish a note). It feels a lot on input 1. When I connect my guitar to input 2 or 3, the noise is more acceptable. Is this normal?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Hi Cristian, I have almost no background noise. Sometimes I have very little or no noise gate in the input and when I use a compressor I have more noise. But this is of course no comparison to a real amp with pedals etc.. The unit itself is noise-free!

[@1972Georges]

impressiv. will get the FM3. the only one I can afford.

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

The FM3 is fantastic. Slightly less possibilities compared to the FM9 or Axe-Fx3, but the same incredible sound/presets...and so portable....love it :)

[@michaelrengis6536]

Frank just curious are you playing through your monitors?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Yes I play through my studio monitors and my Red Sound MF10 FRFR.

[@justinTime077]

They don’t EXACTLY sound the same now do they? Can you blend a cleanish amp with dirty on the fm3? Serious question. Can you even achieve that sound by a any means?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

The FM3 is limited by the CPU, which means that you can't use 2 amps at the same time, for example. For the Factory presets this means that for CPU hungry presets the FM3 and/or FM9 versions are slightly "modified".

[@vasilvasilev792]

Ъou are a diamond, a hidden treasure

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@JatinTalukdar]

Are these the tones from the FM9 as well?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Yes. Same tones on FM3, FM9 and Axe-Fx3.

[@JatinTalukdar]

@@FrankSteffenMueller Ahh. I see! Thank you! Getting my FM9 in a day or two. Excited to get the same sounds when I plug in my guitar to the unit. 🥰

[@brucejoyce9934]

So what am I doing wrong? My FM9 mkII turbo presets sounds nothing like this. I endlessly tweak trying to get a good sound

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Send me a video where you are playing one of your favourite factory presets. [e-mail] Cheers Frank

[@francescocarpinetiproduction]

So? Please let me know which was the problem with your FM9! I’ m very interested . Thanks

[@baronnew4364]

🆗💫

[@elbenascimento]

Excellent video! a doubt. Why when I use these factory presets in my FM3 with headphones or in a FRFR box, sounds are opaque and closed, and not the same as those in your video?

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Hi Elbe, at least it should sound pretty close. What headphones and FRFR do you use? Which cables and what guitar? Can you send me a video/soundfile to [e-mail]

[@slashrose270]

Hey, exactly the same here! Guitar: Gibson Les Paul Standarx FM9 Headphones: Koss Porta Pro

[@brianlebrun2382]

Why in the hell doesn't Helix have presets like these instead of the unusable garbage they put in their units. I have a floor and I really like the sounds from the Fractal.

[@FrankSteffenMueller]

Fractal Audio and lots of their artists put a lot of work in the factory presets. It's a great starting point for all the users to create their own presets. Cheers Frank :)

[@danp7061]

It does help that Frank is such a killer player. I have found that not all presets fit my gear/playing etc
