Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What genres are these presets best suited for?
A: The DeathBlow presets are specifically designed for metalcore, post-hardcore, and other genres that require aggressive and dynamic guitar tones. They are perfect for achieving crushing rhythm sounds and soaring lead tones.
Q: Are these presets compatible with both the Fractal FM3 and FM9?
A: Yes, the DeathBlow presets are fully compatible with both the Fractal FM3 and FM9. However, ensure you are running the required firmware versions (Cygnus "X-3" 9.00 or later for FM3 and Cygnus "X-3" 8.00 or later for FM9).
Q: Do I need an FRFR cabinet to use these presets?
A: While the presets are optimized for FRFR (Full-Range Flat Response) systems, you can still use them with traditional guitar cabinets. However, you may need to adjust the EQ settings to compensate for the cabinet's natural frequency response. Using an FRFR system will provide the most accurate representation of the intended tones.

Tim Lambesis
As I Lay Dying / Austrian Death Machine
"Jaroslav helped me make a more efficient session that sounds clear and powerful, all while using less CPU than my original template. By combining elements of his templates and mine I was able to shape my Austrian Death Machine mixes into exactly what I was looking for. His drum templates in particular helped me see my mix from a new perspective, and it wouldn't sound nearly as good without him."
