Fractal Presets available for Axe-FX III, FM3, and FM9

Please make sure to import the appropriate patch for your hardware – they are not interchangeable. NOTE: The FM3 folder includes an ‘FX” patch. This patch includes the additional effects blocks from the full Axe-FX and FM9 patches. Feel free to substitute any of these effects blocks into the main patch to suite your needs.

Also included are gig-ready (Sunday morning ready, to be more precise) all in one presets utilizing captures of this amp and our drive pedals. We’ve included separate presets for both single coil quipped and humbucker equipped guitars. You can use these presets in both Scene and Stomp mode, and they cover a ton of sonic territory.

HOW DO YOU GET THE CAPTURES?

The captures and presets are available for free in the Cortex Cloud app. You’ll need to create an account and follow ‘WorshipTutorials’ to access the presets and captures (go here to create an account and access the app).

FOOTSWITCH CONFIGURATION

We’ve programmed the switches on the Headrush Prime to act like a traditional pedalboard. You’ll see individual effects mapped to the different buttons and labeled appropriately. If you’d like to make changes, the process is simple – the Headrush Prime manual provides great documentation if you’d like to create scenes or other button mapping.
