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.

Steve is one of the most under rated guitarists out there period there are many but Steve is special.

I don't think he's under-rated. He's not a household name to non-guitarists and millenials, but anybody who's playing guitar for a few years knows he's great

Underrated by who ? We all know he's awesome

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!

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

I think it's interesting that a man with that hairstyle has the self awareness to update his guitar tone because it's "not 1984". You do you, Mr. Stevens! Patches sound great.

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

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.

Awesome!! Thank you Steve and Fractal!

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

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

Les tons sont vraiment remarquables à l'image de Steve Stevens, incomparable ! Magnifique guitare au passage !

Thanks Steve your AWESOME - thanks much

thanks Steve, for this and for blessing my ears with your talent. HUUUGGGE long time fan. Your included IRs are great.

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

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

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

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

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

wow sounds great Steve!

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.

Good Lord- Sounds amazing. Fire up the Fractal.

Awesome!!!! Steve is da man! 👊🤘🎸

Best tone in the business....always.

Sounds great brother !

Great tones!

Thanks Steve & Co... 🙏

Stunning guitar!!

Great sounds mr stevens !!!

So kind of you to share your presets!

Love it, thank you Steve!!

I just want all the presets of "The Crackdown" from Atomic Playboys and his Atomic Playboys tone is nailed!

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

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

Steve that was rad.

Maaaaan this is awesome! STEVE STEVENS FRICKEN RULEZ!!!! Steve is huge talent as a guitarist and song writer. I've always loved his tones and playing . Man I'm so looking forward to having a play around with these sounds. Thank you Steve and thank you Fractal guys \m/

Very Nice... Camera mic coming out of studio monitors? When SS plays that sweet intro riff on Rebel Yell... wow!!!!

Brilliant tones! Need to upgrade my II to the III sometime, hopefully later this year. Cheers!

@@weddingwiththewhitedove Yes you can but it somewhat defeats the point of it as an amp simulator. You'd be better off getting a Line 6 HX stomp or something that just handles effects for far less money.

that sounds so good.......Le

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)

iconic!

My favorite guitarist

Thank you Fractal and Steve !!!

Yessss!!!! ❤️

His clean tones from White Wedding and Flesh For Fantasy

you had me at atomic playboys

Awesome top gun

Just waiting for my FM3 invitation to arrive!

QUE GROOOSOOOO!!!

Just a cool and bad ass dude!

damn the rythm sound is awesome...very big and punchy...mentions to the speakers from the axe?

Killer!!!

A kemper just hanging out in the back ...

Genius.

I want one!

Quand il commence Rebel Yell !!! Quelle légende !

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

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

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?

MAN 🤘

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

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.

03:10 Which IR are you using? Sounds great!

🤘

🎸👍🤘🎼

I think we need some b roll...

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

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

Whiplash Smile is great

What cab for Steven's Flesh?

I wonder what monitors thats coming out of ?

Will these be made available for the FM9?

Is He using the AmpBlock or is He using the Friedman with a Loadbox?

Fractal, can you please make a way to plug it into an iPhone for monitoring through the iPhone speakers? It would be appreciated to be able to do this for reference.

You can try to convert them with the "Fractool" but some things might be lost in the transfer process that aren't available on the II.

Is there a preset for the wig ?

Alles wunderbar vorgeführt, aber mal ehrlich, die Sonnenbrille wirkt auf mich eher ein wenig "unpersönlich", das ist schon nicht mehr cool. Er möchte doch viele Leute "persönlich" dazu ermtigen, sich dieses gute Teil zu kaufen oder etwas nicht? Na ja...egal...vielleicht ist das heutztage auch alles gar nicht mehr so wichtig, hauptsache der Sound stimmt...smile
