Fractal Ultimate John Mayer Preset FM3
Fractal Ultimate John Mayer Preset FM3
This could potentially be the “end all be all” John Mayer Fractal preset! Every effect you would need to cover any John Mayer studio recorded song is in this preset. Most effects are mapped to a scene or dual function to be able to be engaged in a live situation.
The magic behind this preset (for the FM9 and Axe III) is in the two Tone Matches I created of a Two Rock Traditional Clean and Amplified Nation Steel String Singer. Effectively this is the holy grail John Mayer amp combo!
The FM3 version is no slouch! It uses a single Tone Match of the Two Rock with all the same effects, but with some CPU saving workarounds. FM3 users will receive an additional preset that contains only effects so you can copy them into your library to use when you please!
SCENES:
1. Clean/Tri Chorus
2. Klon/Leslie
3. TS/Xroads
4. Solo/L Train
5. Qtron A/B
6. Bigger Than
7. Heartbreak
8. IGIJFL
UPDATE! I received reports of FM3’s tapping out of CPU, so I created a Version 2 in order to keep CPU within limits.

This is easily my favorite preset for a Fractal product, and that's not hyperbole. Yes, this is great for covering Mayer material, but it's just a very well rounded tool for most anything outside of a high gain situation. I purchased this along with the Continuum and WTLI packs. While I love them all, this one is just perfect.
The gain stacking between the clean, Klon, and TS channels is probably my favorite feature of the entire preset. There's a lot of headroom here to get the most out of your various pickup positions, and you can get a very vocal sound. Lastly, it is extremely responsive to your attack. So you can get a very bold lead with a pick, but to me it really comes alive when you use your fingers. The only thing I've changed was I added a looper to the end of the chain. Jon, you knocked this one out of the park.
