Here's the start to a brand new series, where I look at a preset(s) that you submit to me for ideas/tweaks and suggestions to hopefully improve the tone and learn (me included!) in the process

A huge thanks to Stanley for sending in his preset here for the first episode

Happy to look at a wide variety of presets, the only limitation for me is that it'll have to be able to work on a Fractal FM3 mark1

this series can only work with your support/submissions and feedback so please send some in =) and comment below on suggestions/improvements

thanks!

SUBMISSION:
email for submissions : pimpmypreset@gmail.com

*Limitations:
using Factory cabs or a FREE IR that can be included or downloaded somewhere
(while I have a good collection of IRs for the purposes of sharing and videos it isn't really possible)
FM3 Mark1 compatible CPU wise ;)
I'll be using the latest official firmware on the FM3
