About Buddy

At AustinBuddy, our mission is the democratization of great guitar tone via Fractal Audio products.  

With over 20,000 hours of programming Fractal Audio Systems’ Axe-Fx processors since 2010, I’ve created acclaimed TonePacks and Cab Packs trusted by guitarists worldwide.

Since 2009, as part of Fractal Audio’s beta team, I’ve helped shape select Fractal factory presets, my Cab Packs, and gig effects that power live rigs and recording studios. 

From the original 1400+ Naked Amps for recording and the subsequent “live use” 1000+ Live Gold TonePacks, to the 200+ Bass and +PlusPack TonePacks, my mission is to make every Fractal Axe-Fx unit plug-and-play – so you spend more time playing and less time programming.

Today, AustinBuddy TonePacks deliver authentic amp tone, feel, and power—used by top touring artists, producers, recording studios, and home players who want pro-leveled Fractal Axe-Fx sounds fast that inspire you to play more, without endless tweaking.

AustinBuddy creates his TonePacks at his studio, Electric BuddyLand, located in beautiful and musical Austin, Texas y’all!

Fractal Audio Systems was founded in 2006 to create the revolutionary Axe-Fx line of preamp/effect processors. Guitarists everywhere have since embraced Fractal technology. At Fractal, we are dedicated to quality without compromise in the pursuit of “eXtreme digital technology.”
