No it’s the full release of the prior the only difference is the added clip meters and indicatorsthis isnt the beta is it?
Happy B-day sir!Thank you for the Birthday Present. Today is my actual birthday. What a nice gift.
I was one of the folks that responded to that other thread. I thought I was OK with my input set to 5%, but clearly, my idea of "tickling" the red wasn't quite right. I understand there are variables at play, but unfortunately, those are a bit out of my control. I can't change my pickup height (I suppose I could change my pickups, but I don't have any idea what won't clip the input at this point), and I'm pretty comfortable with my pick, strings, and general playing style.@Brian Angiel Other people with EBMM Majesty guitars have reported in the input clipping thread in the Axe-FX III section that they are able to get their system setup with the level set in the 5-6% range. I imagine that there are several variables at play here. These may include how hard you play, what gauge of strings you're using, how much distance you have between your pickups and the strings and they type of material your strings are made of.
Unfortunately, yeahRegardless, it appears that the input doesn't have very much headroom relative to the output levels of many modern pickup types. I had to set my Axe-FX III to 13.8% in order to prevent my hottest pickup (Tom Anderson H2+ which is described as a medium+ output pickup) from clipping the input.
I wish I could help you guys with the issue but I’m just looking to learn more. What would cause the fm9 to not be able to handle the output of your pickups?I play a Majesty, Fly, and RG through my FM9 and all three of them blow up the input if I set it above 8%, always had. So it's not just an issue with the Ernie ball, it's actually an issue with the FM9 input.
No idea. I thought about applying some lithium grease to the input to see if that would tame it down some.I wish I could help you guys with the issue but I’m just looking to learn more. What would cause the fm9 to not be able to handle the output of your pickups?
Maybe you can try to use input 2 or 3, those should have more headroom (4 dB more according to specs on the manual, +20 vs +16 dBu).I was one of the folks that responded to that other thread.

The Majesty does, but even my Silhouette and Albert Lee--which are just wood and wire--clip the input of the FM9.PS: I just checked and +16 dBu corresponds to 4.9 V, I couldn't even imagine that a guitar could produce such a high output!
Does it have active pickups/preamp and is it powered at 18v?
It doesn't "blow up the input". There's nothing fundamentally wrong with setting it to 8%. You can set is as low as 0% with no detrimental effect.I play a Majesty, Fly, and RG through my FM9 and all three of them blow up the input if I set it above 8%, always had.

This is good info, thank you for chiming in. And for everything else as well.It doesn't "blow up the input". There's nothing fundamentally wrong with setting it to 8%. You can set is as low as 0% with no detrimental effect.
