Heres a quick test on using chatGPT to build a preset for use with guitar on some classic Metallica tones (clean tone on Welcome Home (sanitarium) and Enter Sandman off the Black album) can it build something worthwhile for use in the @fractalaudiosystems FM3/FM9/Axe Fx3 I perhaps have to set a better prompt to use, but it was a fun experiment to see the sorts of results that can come out of it I still much prefer doing research on tones and putting things that way, but this was fun to do you can follow me on IG here https://instagram.com/paulbradshawguitar/ Support me by using any of these links here: ►►► Thomann Affiliate🔊: https://www.thomann.de/intl/thlpg_fi5qa1i74l.html ►►► 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 ✨Lights GVM : https://bit.ly/3OP5BYI GVM SD200b/softbox - https://bit.ly/4gbw9zK Enter the code Paulgvm to get 10% off your order there.
