    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    As a note, on the FM9, TRS to TRS into FR10 hums at such a low level that it's unnoticeable. Unless you crank the level on the FR10 to "stadium" levels. What is absolutely unusable at any level is a TS cable into the FR10.

    OMG 9 without FC-6: How to use the 3 switches by themselves

    Whenever you press a switch, there's a short prompt which shows the effect of the switch you pressed. That's true regardless of what the switch does except Scenes and Presets. Once you start with Layout 4, no matter what you do, you'll be within the FM3-Only scope. And LongPress switch2 will...

    OMG 9 without FC-6: How to use the 3 switches by themselves

    Hmmm. OK. What firmware are you on? Try to Upgrade All Presets. I suspect that you have PROMPT ON EDITED PRESET CHANGE turned on in Global settings and as you load a preset that was not saved, it prompts you to save it.

    OMG 9 without FC-6: How to use the 3 switches by themselves

    When you select SW1 (Presets), this does not (or should not) send you to Scenes. It should send you to the Preset page so you can select a preset. I suspect the layouts might've been loaded in the incorrect location. Can you reload following the instructions exactly and see if that handles it...

    Who said AI generated music can't be inspired?

    I would not know it was AI generated. I don't find it particularly inspiring, but it's not repulsive. A bit on par with the loops that are commonly available on media website to be used as background music for videos. What surprises me most is the quality of the sounds, including the guitar.

    OMG 9 without FC-6: How to use the 3 switches by themselves

    @Rex answered well. I will add that I used this layout for years without the FC6. I found it easy to use and it covered all my bases. Have at it and test it. If you don't like it, revert to the factory layouts or roll your own!

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    I want to add one thing to my overall experience with this FR 10. while it sounds really, really good. It is no flat-response system. The reason it has more "amp in the room" mojo then a lot of other FRFR speakers is because it's not FR. It definitely colors the sound. So if you're looking for...

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    Well, nope. Everything sounds awesome. I just love to bump the mids up a touch. Still getting to know the EQ. And of course, playing alone is not the same as a gig. i'd probably back off the bass a bit. Alone, turning it up to 1-2 is awesome!

    Behringer X32Rack or something else?

    A band I sometimes play owns a X32R. Failed 3 times mid gig. PSU issues. Replacing it twice “solved” the issue until it would power on or not based on the phase of the moon. Never going back down that road again.

    Gibson es-339 question?

    If you want to be shocked, try an Ibanez Artcore. Impeccable construction and finish and great tone at ridiculously low prices. Maybe too big? Not sure how it compares to the 339, but it was much better balanced and sounded as good to me.
  20. Patzag

    Behringer X32Rack or something else?

    Simple, effective. I used the TF with faders. Great unit but a little bulky. Sound engineer never touched the faders, did it all from the app. What I liked about it was the simplicity and the sound. Great effects in the tradition of SPX stuff. I would pick this 10x over the Behringer stuff

    I just played my first gig with the FR 10. It’s already a pro unit. And I did not miss the coaxial factor. Yet I am still waiting with bated breath for the V2. Anyhow. The FR 10 performed admirably. Plenty loud even if I was right next to the loud drummer. What a winner!
