4-5 Core Tones (clean to metal) - Fractal Audio AXE FX 3 / FM3 / FM9 @paulbradshawguitar

Uploaded March 2024 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Here are 4-5 Core tones bundled together in one preset, great for jamming to stuff or looping ideas and playing out

going from clean/edge of breakup / vintage crunch/modern crunch and then finally a more typical modern metal style sound

playing through my PRS S2 Singlecut Standard in satin (thanks again Jens!)
