Free Gnarly Tone Preset

This is the free gnarly tone preset from my video

“When Your Tone Needs to Snarl — Not Scream”

This tone wasn’t created by piling on pedals or chasing distortion.

It comes from pushing the same amp and speaker foundation used for the clean and crunch tones, and shaping it so the sound stays raw, responsive, and controllable.

The goal here is a gnarly tone that:

snarls when you dig in

cleans up when you back off

stays musical instead of turning harsh or fizzy

This preset is demonstrated on Fractal devices and is designed to feel dynamic and usable in real playing situations—not like a locked-in or overcooked sound.

About ConTONEuum

This gnarly tone is also part of a larger, multi-tone preset called ConTONEuum, where clean, crunch, lead, and gnarly voices all live inside one cohesive preset and share the same tonal foundation.

This free download is just the gnarly portion of that preset.

If you want to understand how this tone behaves and why it works, I recommend watching the video first—this preset will make a lot more sense once you’ve seen how it was built.
