Free Crunch Tone Preset
This is the free crunch tone preset from my video
“Stop Chasing Crunch Tones — Build One That Actually Works!”

This tone wasn’t built by stacking things on or chasing settings.
It came from committing to the right speaker reference, listening carefully, and shaping the amp just enough to make it work in real musical situations.

The goal here is a crunch tone that:
feels good under the fingers
holds together across different playing styles
doesn’t fall apart when you dig in or back off

This preset is demonstrated on Fractal devices and is designed to be practical, musical, and easy to work with—not a one-off “wow” sound.

About ConTONEuum
This crunch 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 crunch portion of that system.

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