Loud distorted hum

I am noticing a similar problem. In the last couple of weeks when I power up, I get this hum/crack sound and have to reboot. That usually fixes the problem. Not sure if this is a hardware of software issue. I will try disabling gapless switching, but that was the main reason I was so...

FM9 Firmware Version 6.00

II believe at some point using modelers with FRFR, you begin to develop a sense about how to tweak at home for gig level volumes. At least that has been my experience. Not 100%, but I can usually get pretty close.

Running stereo live

Have your tried panning the amps left and right and adding a subtle delay (~8ms) to one side?

Sound Checks & Your Pre-Gig Process

Tripp Lite 2400W Line Conditioner LCR2400 Check this one out. I would put it in a rack on stage and use it for everyone in the band. There are multiple outlets on the back and its not ridiculously priced.

Sound Checks & Your Pre-Gig Process

Get a voltage regulator for the band. It is different than a power conditioner in that it proides a constant voltage even in brown out conditions. Very similar to a UPS (Universal Power Supply). This will feed all the bands gear with a constant voltage even it the clubs power is crap.

Not sure it's just my imagination, but it sure feels like the latency reduction in the amp model block makes a significant difference in the sound and feel of the FM9. I especially noticed the difference when I was using my drop pedal. Not sure why but it sounds more natural with the drop...

A little bit of compression can help. But it's mostly technique.
