Brutal Hi Gain Metal pt.2 (end, code orange, knocked loose) - FRACTAL AXE FX 3 / FM3 / FM9 @paulbradshawguitar

Uploaded April 2024 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Here's the follow up to my first Brutal Hi gain video on the Fractal units, this time with a further look into some tricks and creative boosting concepts

**on the Preamp boost section in the first example i accidentally left the grinder preamp boost off
but i think you get the idea of the sorts of uber/amp being oversaturated tones that you get out of trying this

in any case there are some incredible bands doing this sort of thing to great effect with creative use of boosts/fuzz/distortion/eq etc.. in front of already gained up amps

experimentation is key, and hopefully this gives you some ideas of things to try to get some unique tones

$PRS S2 #7 vs Suhr Doug Aldrich pickups Quick comparison between the stock PRS S2 #7 pickups and the uncovered Suhr Doug Aldrich pickups in my PRS S2 Singlecut Standard guitar I didnt change the strings, same pick used each time The Suhr pickups have notably more output, i can pretty much distort the clean/get it to break up on the preset if i dig in more, Im not sure if it comes across so much on the video but the higher output leads to more gain/saturation as well on the overdrive comparisons, really happy with these pickups in any case Comparison made playing the same riffs/licks as on my Core tones preset video , also using the exact same preset, downloadable via my presets link below for Fractal Audio units Axe FX3 / FM3 / FM9 great pickups in any case for Les Paul style guitars ►►► All my Fractal audio presets 🎸: https://ko-fi.com/s/5a6542f393 ►►► Buy me a coffee ☕: https://ko-fi.com/paulbradshawguitar ►►► All my links 🎧: https://linktr.ee/paulbradshawguitar TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Clean comparison 00:50 Clean amp w/Overdrive pedal 02:10 PLEXI time 02:58 5153 Crunch 03:57 Thoughts #guitar #prsguitars #suhr #guitarpickups #lespaul #gibson #tone #fractalaudio #guitarist$
