    Kemper Player is out, so pretty much all the competition now has a mini 3 button product… still no Fractal FM3 Lite???

    I'm waiting for a Fractal to split up the Effects and Amp modelling in two different units that are the size of the newer Kemper player. Pair the FX one with your amp or amp modeller/profiler of your choice. Pair the Amp modelling with the external pedals / multi-fx of your choice.

    I think we will see a major product release very shortly from fractal!

    I'd LOVE to see a return to an FX8 type product: A pedalboard multi-fx, TRS amp switching capabilities, with all DSP going to effects (things like the FX3 synth block and pitch shifting, etc). An 'FX6' between the size of an FM3 and and FM9 for the guys that like their traditional amps but want...

    AMP - Two notes Captor - FM3

    Not to highjack but curious to hear what advantage this type of setup gives you guys? Is it so you can play your amp in the room and have that feel coming from your cab but then having the flexibility to record your DI amp tone and run an IR through fractal as well as any post-effects for...

    FM3 MKII/Turbo Speculation

    There’s someone up here north of the border that’s posting an FM3 for over $2500 cdn because they’re “out of stock with no eta”. Really hoping for a refresh so I stop seeing stuff like that…and can pepper them with inane questions like “is this the old out of date one or the new one that I can...

    FM3 Few riffs and a solo with Mark 4

    Incredibly catchy and technically proficient playing! Between this vid and the JP2C vid posted, I will be checking out any videos you post with tones you're getting from the gear. It's inspiring to hear such great tone and playing from it. The Mark IV was definitely one of the amps that I...

    Desktop Monitors

    Do you find them detailed enough? I remember hearing them demoed and some of the layered guitar tones seemed to get lost, but I'm not sure whether that was just how they were set up. Thinking about trying these again just because of the build quality and that they would fit on my work desk...

    JB Brubaker of August Burns Red!

    I know JB has been a long-time FAS user. Happy to see he's gone to a III -- would echo the desire for a couple presets! The other guitarist used to use Kemper, but I'm not sure if that is still the case.

    I see it as the new way of things. Lately I’ve seen delivery people from postal and private courier companies not even try to reach anyone, they just exit their vehicle with a slip indicating the delivery has been missed and leave it on the door without ringing a bell or anything.

    I honestly can't see it happening. We've been stalled for almost a week now. They're only about 7 days into the 'regular' waitlist. I'm late July 2019 and don't see that happening until September at least.

    Didn't they already restart at the top when the headphone version came out? We'll probably see a decrease in fulfillment speed once we cross into the 'new' territory as each waitlist request will have to receive an invite, and not only those that declined a Non-headphone model.

    FM3 - USB plug fragile

    A while ago I picked up a USB - B to USB A extension adapter for my kemper, so I could plug in a usb drive without turning the kemper around or digging in around the back. Perhaps the same thing would work here.

    This is a good point. I wonder if the speed increase is temporary until they're having to send out invites to everyone and not just those that opted out of the non-HP version.

    It’s a discussion forum. What else is there to discuss in a shipping thread besides waiting and receiving said product? New proposed thread title to decrease confusion amongst those with nothing better to do: FM3 Now Waiting. Side note: I can’t wait until we hit 100 pages. What a milestone! 😂

    Selling HX Stomp to save and purchase an FM3. is it worth it?

    I'm a regular here and my vote would be to keep your Helix! :) If it was readily available, you may have more to consider but at this point your choice is to keep your HX or wait an unknown amount of time without anything to replace your HX. Are you on the waitlist?

    This is quite common practice. The more time that goes on the more ambivalent I feel about this product. And for those of you saying there’s nothing to report—there always is. The only thing a cone of silence policy fuels is needless speculation beyond the initial issue at hand.

    I find Ibanez to be incredibly consistent (especially across the Prestige line). They've been around forever and if you don't mind some wear they can be had for fairly cheap. You've also got the opportunity for plenty configurations (hard tail, string thru, classic Trem, double locking Trem...

    No one can say, really. People are assuming it will be faster but from what we've seen--given all of the 'hiccups' that have occurred since launch--we are generally seeing around a year wait time (give or take a few days).

    Some people have assumed that the invites dropped off after initial public release of information pertaining to the FM3.
