FM9 Firmware Version 5.01

Love hearing from all you vets on here. That Gulfstream is amazing - what a great job you have! I was at Area 52 with the 4450th Tactical Group when we had the first operational F117s. Those and the redhats made it the most interesting assignment of my career. I haven't kept most of the...

Happy Birthday!

I think I made it to that one - I think I saw Brent Mason, John McLaughlin and Tony McManus there. Always a great event. Was Wildwood selling the Experience guitars?

FM9 in a Furman SPB-8C?

Thanks! That's one of about half a dozen pieces of antique Korean furniture I got while stationed there in the 80s. The cabinet on the right is another.

FM9 in a Furman SPB-8C?

Depends on how many additional devices/pedals you need to put on there. I had my FM-3, two EV-1s and a wireless receiver on mine (picture below), but had to go to a larger Templeboard when I added the FC-6. Now the Templeboard has the FM-9 and two EV-1's, with the wireless receiver underneath...

Which Fender Amp if ONLY 1 allowed?

Super Reverb. Great dynamics control with the volume knob.

How is everyone mounting the FM3 onto their pedalboards?

Right, I got a big bag of the longer screws. Did the same with my current FM9 setup with two EV1s.

Sounds great! What amp block did you go with? Great tribute to Jeff, the "One of One"!

Fav amp after Cygnus 2.0

My Collings hollow body is having a love affair with the Super Verb Vibrato Channel (Scene 1). That preset has a lot of great tone and feel, and interacts with the volume knob very well.

FM9 Purchase and incredible customer service from Mark Day

This is the kind of bs I see all the time in online phone menus. Makes you wonder if anyone that matters at their companies tries to use their own system. It takes a lot of creativity to get around these stupid roadblocks. Glad Mark and the Fractal team are consistently professional and helpful.

Setup recommendation? FM9 and two EV2s

I've got the Temple 34 with an FM9 and two EV1s. I believe you can cut the 34 down to size and remount the end cap. I've also heard that Temple will make you a custom width, so you might want to reach out to them.

FM9 sure is built to last. Confirmed withstands drunks. End of a very bad weekend.

I owe my entering the Fractal world to two drunk women. They got into a fight at the end of the bar, one shoving the other into the back of my rig - A Bad Cat Hot Cat 30 head and Roccaforte custom plexi head on top of my Marshall 425A 412 cab. Everything fell over, and the two women ran out...

BRAD WHITFORD and TOM HAMILTON of AEROSMITH : Fractal Audio Artists!

You should be able to meet backstage or sound check since they've used or are using some of your presets according to Matt. Maybe he can put you in touch with the right people.
