FM3/FM9 Presets for Metalcore, Post-Hardcore, and Aggressive Guitar Tones
Unleash brutal tones! 25 finely tuned presets for bone-crushing metalcore and post-hardcore on your Fractal FM3/FM9.
The DeathBlow preset collection is meticulously designed to provide the ultimate sound foundation for metalcore, post-hardcore, and other aggressive music genres. Each of the 25 presets delivers powerful, dynamic tones suitable for both rhythm and lead guitar parts. This collection allows you to achieve professional-grade sounds with ease on your Fractal FM3 or FM9.
Every preset in the DeathBlow pack is loaded with custom cabinet IRs (Impulse Responses). These IRs have been carefully selected and optimized to ensure that your tone is not only tailored for heavy music but also delivers exceptional clarity and punch. This allows you to cut through the mix with a commanding presence, whether you're playing live or recording in the studio.
The DeathBlow presets are specifically designed for use with Full-Range Flat Response (FRFR) speaker systems. This ensures that you get the most accurate and detailed representation of the tones, delivering a studio-quality sound that translates perfectly from the studio to the stage. Experience the full potential of your Fractal FM3/FM9 with these FRFR-optimized presets.

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).
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.
