I downloaded James Valentine’s Maroon 5 preset and loaded it into my Fractal Audio Systems FM3. I’ve always liked the band and James’ guitar playing is a highlight for me. This is video is about the process of using it with an FM3 and demo of the tones. The preset was made by ​⁠‪@coopercarter‬ for ‪@G66eu‬ with James and the sounds used on tours and shows with ‪@Maroon5‬
