Steve Stevens Presets for Axe-Fx III & FM3!

So kind of you to share your presets!

We opened for Billy and Steve at Mud Island in Memphis in '85 or so. Steve was such a genuinely nice and kind guy -- helped me with my rig at sound check, was really approachable, etc. It is true he is way under recognized. He is the original master of the whammy bar in rock guitar.

Awesome top gun

I am more interested in the cool things you can do with fx routing in parallel, then the amp modeling. It certainly has gotten very good. I am still considering what Fractal to get. I am ultimately looking for a compact fx setup. My current setup sounds killer. I am looking at a device that allows me to manipulate loops in parallel/series change the order if needed. It is small enough to fit my pedal train jr. I have been curious about the FM3 or FM9. I do use stereo mag/piezo guitars, which the AXE FX 3 originally appealed to me for the multiple inputs and outputs. I am not planning on using the amp models or IR. I use my Amps/reactive load to send to fx. Stereo outs to 2 Two Notes Torpedo Cab M plus IR DI boxes. It works great.

🤘

I love Steve but damn, I wish he'd take his sun glasses off.

Man these presets are cool and sound great. Thanks for sharing!

Just a cool and bad ass dude!

I've been a fan of Steve since 1982. I saw him live with Billy Idol a number of times and he was always great.

Will these be made available for the FM9?

I wonder what monitors thats coming out of ?

Oh boy! My decision on whether or not to get a Fractal just got decided for me. My two most favorite guitarists from the 80s are Mr. Stevens and Alex Lifeson. Just need the Lifeson presets next! (Hint hint Fractal)

Jesus, Steve always has a monumental tone ... for me one of the best rock guitarists ever. ( every rock guitarist should study Steve Steven.... )

What are we listening to the Axe3 through in the video. FRFR monitors?

Thanks Steve your AWESOME - thanks much

Be cool if Cliff invited all the AXE users to NH for a beer bash!

Thank you! Rebel Yell is one of my face guitar tracks. Ever.

Sounds great brother !

Is it changing the power amp in the plexi the key to reproduce his signature friedman?

I find myself using this preset A....LOT. Awesome

His style was out of this world in 1984. I was a metalhead back then but loved the Rebel Yell album.

Dude you have like a $5,000,000 studio, laptop, recording console, and a device that pumps out DI and you use the camera audio? Are you too lazy to wash your balls too?

Wow, thx. These are awesome. I’m guessing that you can’t load the preset with 2 amps on an FM3? Any work-around to choose one of the amps rather than both?

That Knaggs guitar is awesome, minus the headstock. But yeah this sounds spectacular.

Stunning guitar!!

Steve has been in my top 10 since I was a kid. He is a phenomenal musician. Guys like him, Lukather - seriously talented and skilled artists - these are some of the guys that carved the way for my generation of 80’s players. Steve is tasteful and understands phrasing and context very well. Anyone can play power chords - he has an incredibly good sense of composition as well. An all around great guy and continues to give so much of himself to the music world. Thanks for sharing!

Good Lord-
Sounds amazing.
Fire up the Fractal.

A kemper just hanging out in the back ...

What's with the color of the video?

Really love these and thanks so much for sharing. On the waitlist for FM3.... time now standing still hehe.

Great tones!

Cool video man, now I get it and thanks for taking the time to share. You song "Water On Ares" is awesome !!!

My favorite guitarist

That paint job is fantastic. Optical illusion kind of. Love it!

These patches sound awesome. Great work Steve.

Steve is a great guitarist but a brilliant musician first. He should be very proud.

MAN 🤘

wow....what sound and tunes....blasted.... need all your tunes. Will buy

iconic!

I think we need some b roll...

When is the Mark Day preset going to be available? No one comes close to his tones.

Steve’s a cool cat .. always has been .. rock on Steve 🙏

Great sounds mr stevens !!!

Steve's getting fat!

Atomic Playboys rocked. I took a PE class in college. Each student was able to bring in a CD and that's what the entire class had to listen to for the class period. I brought in Atomic Playboys and absolutely cranked the volume. No one had heard of it. Jaws dropped. One of my best workouts.

🎸👍🤘🎼

His dude is a beast and that Gi Tar is a monster.
