Setting Up An Acoustic Preset | Fractal FM3 / FM9 / Axe-FX III

Do you need to switch to an acoustic but don't want to bring another rig? Maybe you're a full-blown fingerstyle acoustic player & you're looking for a way to record, amplify, & shape your tones. The Fractal Audio devices have you covered! In this video, we'll go into all of the ways to enhance your acoustic guitar signal, sculpt your tone into anything & everything you want it to be, & put the cherry on top with lush Reverbs & other FX to fatten up your sound. 0:00 Intro 0:52 Direct Signal Setup 2:57 Amp Block - Tube Pre 4:40 Cab Block - TOTALLY FLAT 5:43 Free Acoustic IRs 7:31 Amp Block - EQ 8:45 Compressor 12:24 Multi-band Compressor 14:54 GEQ 16:29 Chorus/Detune 17:37 Enhancer 18:27 Delay (fattening) 19:06 Reverb 19:45 Outro Gear: • Maton EBG-808 (equipped with Ernie Ball Earthwood 12-54s) • Fractal Audio FM3 (Tube Pre amp) Free Acoustic IRs: https://www.acousticir.ovh/ Use this preset-building approach on your next gig, session, or rehearsal, whether you're on the FM3, FM9, or Axe-FX III! *I had to boost the signal +2-12dB in order to be audible in some sections. Because of this, the guitar may be louder than the voice at points. **Edited this on an inferior machine due to geographic limitations. Be warned of artifacts! ***Setup your Chorus/Pitch (Detune) block AFTER your Delay, as it is a Stereo effect...as I'm accustomed to running Stereo Delays, I botched that one too. -- These Fractal presets are now available for purchase at Alex's online store: ► https://guitarguru186.gumroad.com For more on Alex (upcoming appearances, photos, services, lessons, & contact): ► http://www.alexmaiers.com Hear the new album: ► http://www.alexmaiers.bandcamp.com ►   / sonic-chefs-circus-absurdities   Check out Alex on social media: ►   / guitarguru186   ►   / guitarguru186   ►   / guitarguru186
