BALANCED STEELE – FRACTAL AXE-FX III
7 SCENES OF MODERN PROG TONES INSPIRED BY OLLY STEELE
From razor-tight low-gain crunch to crushing rhythms, soaring leads and atmospheric ambient textures.
Balanced Steele is a 7-scene preset for the Fractal AXE-FX III, built to capture the full tonal range associated with Olly Steele. Every scene has been carefully dialed for feel, response and playability, giving you a complete modern progressive-metal rig inside a single preset.
Whether you're locking into precise rhythm parts, hitting aggressive gated stabs, stepping forward for a solo or creating huge atmospheric layers, Balanced Steele gives you a dedicated scene ready to go.
7 TONES. ONE PRESET.
Each scene targets a different part of the modern Olly Steele-inspired sound:
Steel Crank
A tight, powerful lower-gain overdrive with an aggressive attack. Inspired by Olly Steele's signature crunchy tone.
Tyed Rhythm
The core high-gain rhythm sound of the pack. Tight, aggressive and optimized for bridge-pickup riffing.
Balanced Solo
A refined lower-gain lead tone with a sharp, punchy attack that keeps every note articulate.
Hall of Waves
A dreamy ambient lead drenched in delay, designed for atmospheric melodies, layers and spacious backgrounds.
Totally Gated
Razor-sharp gating and compression create an extremely tight response for precise, hard-cutting stabs and technical riffing.
Opened Solo
An aggressive high-gain lead sound with exceptional sustain for bigger, more expressive solo parts.
Angry High Gain
The heaviest sound in the pack. An intense, crushing high-gain tone inspired by the aggression of Olly Steele's Monuments-era sound.
BUILT FOR MODERN PROG
Balanced Steele is all about precision without sacrificing feel. Expect controlled lows, aggressive attack and excellent note separation, helping complex chords and fast riffs stay defined even under high gain.
Switch scenes and move from tight crunch to huge ambient leads without having to rebuild your signal chain or spend your session tweaking.
