Let's see those FM3 rigs!

[Will Chen]

Finally mounted my FM3 to a board. The open space is reserved for either my Whammy V or SY-200 depending on which way the wind is blowing.

What's the guitar on the left? Doesn't look like an original Strandberg?

Harley Benton Dullahan. Excellent affordable headless.

Volume, Wah, and a DIY 8-switch that I use for scene selection. The switches at the FM3 are set for Preset Up, Preset Down, and Tuner.

No board for me, as this is my fly rig that I pack up in a carry on.

I can't be happier

Running mine after my JP2C for IR, EQ, and other post amp effects and then interface-DAW-Studio monitors for at home use. Boss WAZA TAE between the amp and FM3 for load box purposes only. I Would use it in the effects loop of the amp for playing out. FM3 is also controlling channels and other amp switches with scene changes.

Killer rig

 

[Tremonti]

Just switched to the fm9, so I thought i'd post it before I sell the fm3. Board and xlr/midi/1/4in loom live in a pelican 1595 air. (included a photo of the old 1615 air next to the 1595).

This reminds me of the durable life-saving luggage in Joe vs the Volcano movie.

Has somebody tried these switches? Curious how this sits above the screen

It says it sits above the LCDs for the switches not the screen...

I'm assuming it's attached with magnets?

That makes more sense

And they use 3m adhesive

This is the FM3+8
Ghostfire Standard 1.0 board. It comes with a nice carrying bag
I use the FM3 switches for Preset-Down/Tuner/Preset-Up, and the 8 extra switches for Scene Selection.


If you want to DIY the Arduino MIDI controller, you can find the code here. It is very easy to do.
You can use the switches to control the 8 scenes or any other function you want.

I am impressed!

I mean this in the best possible way - that looks really hacky and pieced together. I love it.

It's been a long time since I played with an Arduino. I might have to do something like that eventually just because it seems like it could be fun.

I played rather raucous gig last Saturday, and as I’ve now moved over to a fender fr12 the board is a little exposed (previously had a headrest on a peli case in front)

So, I’ve just made this v1 of a shield for what I see as the vulnerabilities, looking forward to road testing it in a couple of weeks then onto v2

I didn't quite follow all of that, and I've never installed a headrest on any of my rigs. But the shield is a cool idea. Needs some poison-tipped spikes facing the audience, though.

Haha oh man so that was a bit early for my fingers to work..

Headrest = Headrush

Btw. how is the FM3 fixed to a Pedaltrain Velcro floor? Mine is unattached to it and only keeps its position due to its weight... For transportation in the hard case this works, as the lid foam holds the device in place. Nevertheless, I would like to secure the device against slipping and don't yet know how...

I just use some chunky zip ties, going strong for 18 months now!
