Re-creating Angus Young’s classic AC/DC crunch inside the Fractal FM9.
I break down the exact preset I use - amp block tweaks, Schaffer-style wireless compression/boost, and studio EQ to get as close as possible to that Back in Black bite.
What’s inside:
• Marshall 1959 SLP amp block & bright-cap mod
• Matching cab IR choices + mic placement
• Schaffer Wireless sim (comp/boost) settings
• Final EQ + room reverb polish
• Bonus: quick Malcolm-style rhythm test
Rig: Gibson SG, Fractal FM9
Chapters & timestamps
0:00 Intro & Outline
1:25 Amp + Cab Setup (Marshall 1959, IR, Bright Cap)
6:25 Schaffer Wireless Simulation
8:15 Studio EQ & Room Reverb
9:26 Malcolm-Style Test & Outro
