Imperfect Fail

Very sharp eye! It's indeed the Balolo Setup Cockpit Large Desk Shelf Large and the resp. Laptop Riser. The riser is the perfect fit for the FM3. Didn't expect that it would fit so perfectly!

It sounds killer. It's still FRFR, so if you really want the real amp feel, the 4CM might be your best option. But it's definitely a lot more "amp like" in that you can feel the air moving like a real cab. FYI I think Devin Townsend is using it now too.
I'm interested in the statement from the detailed post that says you are controlling and powering from the FASLink XLR. In the pictures I see connections via MIDI and DC input on the Blackstar and the FASLink and MIKI ports on the FM3. Is this some custom connection you did?
I'll chime in. I don't know about what BigStubby is using but for my rig, I am powering a 9volt expression pedal with the 12volt FAS link. I crammed a voltage regulator circuit into the XLR connector.
Like "joelster" said... The FASLink II has 12vdc (with seemingly up to 1amp) that is used to power 1 or 2 FC controllers. I used a right-angle XLR to directly power my Blackstar LiveLogic. I did have to disassemble the Blackstar to know if it could accept 12vdc (instead of the 9vdc noted), after looking up the voltage regulator (device/chip) I learned it could be powered with up to 15vdc (18vdc peak). That meant no extra work for me. It all works flawlessly!
Years ago I would use/hijack midi pins 1 & 5 (which are unused for midi) to add in a 9vdc power supply to create a 9vdc bus of sorts. I would then just use midi thru or other midi ports tap off of. Fairly common practice way back when. I'll do about anything to avoid wall-warts and power strips.
Fractal doesn't have power on the midi ports.
