1 INTRODUCTION
Once you have connected your Axe-Fx III you can begin to audition factory preset sounds. Remember that aside
from a few templates, the factory presets are designed for use with full-range speakers, monitors, or headphones.
See
for details on creating presets for other setups.
The Axe-Fx III contains 512 preset memories (1024 on the Mark II), each a fully independent rig with its own
amps, cabs, effects, settings, controllers, and more. When you consider everything that is possible with Scenes
and Channels, a single preset can easily cover an entire song, or even a whole show.
