+PlusPack 2025

This product contains the following:

• Two bank files, with a subfolder made for each hardware unit type — Axe-FX III, FM9, or FM3. You get all three unit versions – regardless of the unit selected on checkout.
• Bank 1 has over 98 presets with 8 scenes of clean-only presets for single coil guitars — Strats and Tele — but other single coils like P-90s also work well. You can use Humbucker guitars with the preset pack too!
• The 8 Scene preset layout offers scene options by guitar (Strats or Tele), EQ (mids emphasis or flatter), using either Factory cabs or the new DynaCabs.
• Bank 1 also includes a an “electric into Acoustic” emulator plus a basic real Acoustic Guitar preset  for playing real acoustic guitars that use piezo pickups, or on-board mic+ piezo combos, made using a Martin D28 with a Fishman pickup.
• Bank 2 has two sections: one section adds 35 new Fractal amp models since the February 2023 version release for LiveGold users. The second section adds 16 presets for new amp models, including DynaCab variations for the 1400+ Naked Amps users for amps released since the September 2023 Naked Amps update. (Note that Naked Amps presets will not work correctly on an FM3, since those presets require two amp blocks and the FM3 only allows one).
• New amp models include:  Mesa Boogie Mark V, JCM800 2203 and 2204 Hi and Lo channels, three EVH Stealth channels, all nine RevvGen channels, updates to the Satriani JS410 Marshall, PVH Block Crunch, FAS Buttery, Plexi 6CA7, Marshall SV20, JMP-1 Clean, TweedTwin, the’59 Bassman Jumped, a 100Watt Plexi with a Mid Cap tonestack, and Supro Black Magick.
• Some new amp models will use DynaCabs rather than Fractal factory cabs.
• All amp updated presets use the AustinBuddy foot controller CS2 to CS6 layout for controllable amp functions like, boost, fat, write switch reverse, saturation and bass cut that past users of LiveGold and Naked Amps are familiar with.

The +PlusPack is how users can now add new Fractal amp models to their existing LiveGold or Naked Amps TonePack collection. Each year new amp models (if added by Fractal Audio) will be updated for free in the next +PlusPack update.

While existing LiveGold and Naked Amps presets will continue to be updated annually when Fractal firmware warrants, no new amp models will be added to those two TonePacks, as those preset banks are full.
