FM3/FM9/AXE-FX III Patch based on Triaxis Mesa/Boogie preamp

FM3/FM9/AXE-FX III patch based on the Triaxis, the tube preamp from Mesa/Boogie

The Mesa/Boogie TriAxis is a groundbreaking programmable tube preamp that has become a staple in professional guitar rigs since its debut in the early 1990s. It combines the warmth and responsiveness of all-tube analog circuitry with the flexibility of digital control, offering a vast array of iconic Mesa tones in a compact 1U rackmount unit.

Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of genres, from pristine cleans to high-gain leads. Notably, artists like John Petrucci and James Hetfield have utilized the TriAxis in their touring rigs, leveraging its programmable nature to access a multitude of tones on stage. Speaking of which, it is notorious for his ability to authentically replicate the tones of Mesa's legendary Mark series amplifiers, including the Mark I, IIC+, and IV.

The Mesa/Boogie TriAxis programmable tube preamp is no longer in production. While Mesa/Boogie has not publicly announced the exact discontinuation date, reports suggest that production ceased around 2016. A forum post from January 2017 indicates that the company was experiencing difficulties sourcing parts for the TriAxis, which may have contributed to its discontinuation. It is a great toy and while waiting for them to hopefully reconsider production again, at Gymtar we did our best to keep it alive for you and your guitar.
