Not-A-Nocturne - For Axe-FX III @BrettKingman

Uploaded December 2025 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Yesterday I put up a video showing how to achieve my aural approximation of Keeley's mighty Nocturne - the 'Nocturne' algorithm - for the Fractal Audio AM4. I didn't bother with the plate and/or spring reverbs because we already have those en masse and they're pretty amazing. Today I've tweaked the MultiTap Delay block in the Axe-FX III's firmware to try and achieve the same result. I'm working by instinct here so see what you think. It's all fun. Merry Christmas.

$Supro 1695T Black Magick. Axe-FX III patch, Free Download... Download link: https://axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?preset=11822 Requires Firmware 30.00 beta 2 or later. Recently Fractal Audio users enjoyed the addition of a very accurate Supro 1965T Black Magick amp model. I believe it was given the thumbs up by Supro themselves. This morning beta firmware was released for the Axe-FX III (30.00 pb#2 beta) and it includes among many things a new Dyna-Cab addition: 1 x12 Supro Black Majik with a Jensen P12Q speaker. Ive been using this amp model on stage with an older but very capable legacy IR. This new Dyna-Cab really takes it to another level, so I thought I might as well put an entire patch together, with 8 Scenes that Id use, and put it out there to share with anyone who wants to give it a go. This is that preset. The guitar is an inexpensive Tokai DC Junior, stripped and modded by my friends Colin and Joel at @nepeanmusic. Its got a Dimarzio dog-eared Soapbar P90 in it. Originally a dirty sunburst colour, I asked Colin to respray it ..something like a salmon-pink. He did, obviously, and its one of the rudest colours in my menagerie.

I often do that as its good to give to the community and kind of therapeutic for me when Im creating them. But this week the new Axe presets were released for Firmware 28.03 and this one along with a couple of more of mine are burned into it. Thats quite an honour for me considering the famous names that appear in this 384-strong bunch of presets as well. Anyway, this one, Bretts AC20 is number 130 and this little jam (mistakes and all) is the sort of thing I was thinking of when I wrote it. Its 8 Scenes and a bunch of satellite effects that you can switch in/out with each Scene. Theyre all based on the mighty but petite Morgan AC20, which is a very cool twist on the classic AC30. You can see (and hear) the Scene changes in the editor window as Im playing. Ive kept the amp block window open so you can see the various AC20 permutation changes as I go. I think my favourite bits of this patch are the panning delay which I tend to ride a fair bit, and the fuzz face model. Thanks for watching. Theres another version of this video using a Dimarzio P90 loaded Tokai DC Jnr.
