BIAS Head and BIAS Rack come with 25 pre-installed presets to get you started straight out of the box. These are separated into 5 banks:
Preset Banks
- Glassy — for all your crystal sparkling tones with lots of headroom
- Clean — for the warm tones, with very subtle tube saturation
- Blues — for the classic sound of the 50's & 60's
- Crunch — for those about to rock... with crisp gain and warm leads!
- Metal — for the Hi-Gain, saturated leads and huge rhythm sounds
