    Loving Hook

    Really loving the Hook model boosted with a shimmer drive direct to FOH. Telecaster cuts like a knife for modern country. Full bodied that’s not harsh or thin. Give it a try

    CPU Economy Question

    Solved. Thanks for all the tips. Reverbs were the main CPU hogs. IR’s at hi res we’re also a problem. My main patches are running in the low 70% CPU load now and don’t really sound any different.

    CPU Economy Question

    That makes sense. So basically when a preset loads, all the blocks are loaded. So it really doesn’t make sense to have multiple scenes to bring effects in and out and switching presets is more economical.

    CPU Economy Question

    I recently switched from AXE2 to FM3 so CPU load management is new to me. Several of my favorite presets are running around 80% CPU usage which could be the reason behind increased latency switching presets and scenes. I believe I’ve been frugal choosing reverbs delays and IR’s. 1. Do unused...

    First Fractal! What should I know going in?

    Welcome. You’re going to love your FM3. Here’s a few lessons learned (some the hard way): 1. Never upgrade firmware the day of a show. 2. Always make a backup with Fractalbot before making any changes to the patches you use at shows. 3. Walk away after you’ve been dialing in sounds for a while...

    Some FM3 Love

    After struggling to let go of my old workhorse Axe 2, I finally found the magic in this little box and the FC-6 (OMG9). The modeling on the FM3 is so much better. I run direct to FOH and use IEMs - it’s like a slice of heaven! Several people approached me after shows this weekend and said my...

    Blank screen and no sound - again..

    Unfortunately, this is the only thread I could find that describes the issue I experienced. It seems there was never a solid resolution or fix

    Blank screen and no sound - again..

    This happened to me a few weeks ago in the middle of a gig. Suddenly no sound and blank screen. My AxeFX 2 and MFC has been a work horse for years with never a problem. I wired a pass-thru ethercon adapter to my pedal board and back of my rack and had a ruggedized cable made that gets stepped on...

    Did you add a PEQ block after the cab or somehow found a way to EQ the cab directly?

    Scenes, Channel question

    New to channels and scratching my head. Scenario: Preset 1 Scene 1 Amp Block Channel 1 TX Lead Preset 1 Scene 2 Amp Block Channel 2 TX Lead Channel 2 Amp Block in scene 2 can have different parameters than scene 1 because it’s a different channel correct? And it won’t affect any other...

    Jar of Bees Remedy

    Wiped the FM3 as and reloaded factory presets as suggested. I’m going to reload a few of the presets to see if the bees are gone. The factory presets sound pretty good.

    Jar of Bees Remedy

    When I bought the unit I had to quickly find some patches that would work. Honestly I’m not sure if the prior owner had tweaked them or not. I downloaded a couple of user patches from the preset exchange forum and they were fizzy also which leads me to believe it’s a system issue on my end...
