Can the FM3 run this?

[MSS]

HI,

I have an AXE III. Can the FM3 run this patch? The 2nd amp is my clean but that was pre fast switching so I think I can just use a channel in the one amp now.
Clean - Dual IR, Mk iV rhythm, PEQ, Plex delay

Dirty - 2 dynacabs, MBand Comp, DynDist, Analog mono Delay and Reverb on high.

reverb, plex, multiband and drive can use a lot of CPU. i don't think it will run on the FM3.

How about 2 patches? One for clean. One for dirty. I don’t care as much about switching delays as this is a recording setup. I can dumb down the patch for live. Maybe I just need the FM9. Ty.

I’m with Chris on the “unlikely.”

One thing I run into on the FM3 and the IIImk2 is that it matters which selections are made within a given block. E.g. An early digital delay emulation vs an analog tape delay emulation.

I like the footprint of the FM3 but it does seem like the FM9 is a better choice for your requirements. Congrats in advance?

DynDist is not present in the FM3 and the reverb on high can be a problem.

I tried placing almost everything (without reverb and with a single IR) and that's the maximum

Curious, is that the Turbo or old school?

"Old school"

Also, the FM9 has SPIDF in and out, which is factoring into my thoughts about the same.

(and thanks for the clarification @Riccardo Ros)

Minus phaser, chorus and multi delay? This might get me to 70% on the fm3 turbo I am thinking. I can live without dyn dist. I am watching Leon’s FM 3 Turbo vid right now.

Yep, this is a good point.
It's really handy when dealing with DAW and recording re/amping sessions.

Please also keep in mind that every effect has a different cpu usage... so my 80% can be valid only for certain combinations...

For better or for worse, I seem to have talked myself into completing the triumvirate with an FM9. The plan is to have the FM9 set up for playing out, pedals with amp style, and as a partner to the III when the kitchen-sink, back-end, faux-rack-system is desired. Good luck figuring it out @MSS!

FM9 for me as well. Thanks everyone!

Woot! More forums to click refresh on in anticipation! ;-) Cheers, Daniel

Probably not, though this one runs fine at an average of 74%, and a peak of 78 - 79% for the smart Harmonizer scene on this non-Turbo FM3, via a UA OX Stomp in the FX Loop for the Cab/Room sims in this case (not using the OX's Reverb, EQ, or Compression in this preset)...



Turn off the Global EQ's and use the Multi-Delay's Diffusor for a vintage style digital Reverb rather the the CPU hungry Reverb block, plus minimize your number of Shunts. Those things will save you some CPU on the FM3.

How about now? I got rid of the dual amp, shunts and chorus.

Just a reminder that unless the specifics of the selections within the blocks are known, it's hard to tell at a glance what is going to happen.

without touching the delays, reverb above economy exceeds the cpu limit. (MKII Turbo)

Maybe, though need to know what algorithms are in use for the various blocks, plus you'll likely need to lose the M-Comp or Reverb to make it run on a Non-Turbo FM3 (use the Multi-Delay's Diffusor for Reverb instead, and turn off the Global EQ's). It might run on a Turbo FM3 though?

How do you use the diffusor?

I have just a small reverb on my presets and would like to get rid of the reverb block.
But I tired the Multi delay diffusor but I really don’t understand how it works lol.
You use the quad diffusor? Wich settings?

Thanxs

Nope. EDIT: With Old School FM3, not turbo. Dump the pith block and no problem. Unless you need all those effects at once, the way I'd handle it on the FM3 is have 2 presets that I use mutually exclusive. For example, a main preset which is lacks the pitch and plex that I use for most songs. And then a special effects preset where I then have access to the pitch and plex minus the phaser and multidelay.
