    Mic'd amp into FM3?

    Looking at another thread around using the Axe Fx 2 for vocals, it was recommended to use a mic-pre/interface and out from that into the Axe FX. Might still be workable without? Yeah this is just it - I'm looking to keep my clean amp sound for this. Although the method you mention I also use...

    Mic'd amp into FM3?

    I've been using my FM3 mainly for effects only into a clean amp. It just occured to me that when recording I could maybe try sending my mic'd amp signal back into the FM3 for stereo delay and reverb and then on into the interface, rather than using plugins or placing them before the amp. I've...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.00 Public Beta #1

    Might seem like a dumb question but can someone explain why gapless switching is seen as such an important feature? I get that it's nice to have but I can't think of a situation where the gap would be such a big problem?

    Please make an FX8 Mark 3 in the FM3 form factor. I'm begging you.

    I spent some time yesterday swapping between my FX8 and the FM3 with no blocks enabled (in the case of the FM3 just straight from Input 1 to Output 2.) The most obvious thing to me was the FM3 was a little noisier. I should say I was using passive single coils and basically sitting right in...

    Any confirmation on this @FractalAudio?

    Please make an FX8 Mark 3 in the FM3 form factor. I'm begging you.

    So in terms of 4CM it seems Axe FX III, FM9 and FX8 all share essentially the same analog path, whereas the FM3 was not designed with 4CM in mind so may not have quite the same fidelity. If I'm not interested in 4CM, and only running the FM3 for effects before my amp, does that change...

    FM3 as an FX processor only

    Has anyone tried using the FM3 within a loop of an effects switcher (eg. GigRig G2/G3, Boss ES series etc.)? There are a couple of things I'm curious to find out about - Firstly, whether having the FM3 entirely out of the circuit when the loop is bypassed yields any improvement over having the...

    Wish "Crackle" parameter added to tape delay

    I exchanged some messages with Simeon last year about achieving that exact sound. He very kindly worked on it and came back with something I was really happy with. I'll try find the block and attach for you but from memory the crinkle was achieved by running the mono tape delay in parallel, and...

    Anyone using their FM3 with an effects switcher (GigRig, Boss ES series, RJM Mastermind etc.)?

    I'm a new FM3 owner and using it mainly for effects straight into a clean amp. I bought the FM3 basically as an updated FX8 and want to incorporate other pedals into the signal chain. I found the FX8 more or less totally transparent, I'm not yet sure about the FM3. Has anyone found it necessary...

    Is anyone using the FM3 for effects only? How are you liking it.

    Anyone every considered running the FM3 in a true bypass loop switcher to avoid this if/when not using it's effects? I'm thinking about using my FM3 as a sort modern, ultra-capable jack of all trades multi-effects unit (like an improved H9 I guess). Being able to switch it out of the path as...

    ZOIA or HX Stomp to supplement FM3?

    Yes they're definitely different. My issue is that the ZOIA is the obvious choice in one way, and the Stomp (or perhaps GT1000 Core) is the obvious choice in another. I'm only looking to buy one so it's primarily a question really of how well the ZOIA works as a more conventional effects unit...

    ZOIA or HX Stomp to supplement FM3?

    I had meant that the Stomp is probably much easier to edit than the ZOIA. However I agree that Fractal's software is great.

    ZOIA or HX Stomp to supplement FM3?

    I know there have been separate discussions on these but nothing that really compares the two. I'll primarily be using the FM3 as an effects only processor straight into a clean amp, so the modelling aspects of the HX Stomp are nice to have but not that relevant. I'm looking for something that...

    Help fine-tuning the envelope controller...

    Apologies, I should have specified that I'm actually using an FX8, not an Axe FX III. I posted here as I thought I had the best chance of a reply. I assumed the envelope modifier parameters hadn't changed over the years but obviously they've added attack and release parameters. Without these...

    Help fine-tuning the envelope controller...

    I've noticed watching the X/Y graph while playing that the signal tends to jump up to around 50/60% very quickly and then slowly, slowly fall back towards 0%. Even when playing very soft or very hard the difference in the peak is only around 30% or so. I can adjust the max value so that 50/60%...
