    Wish Song Tempo for Set Lists

    +1 on this feature being very useful. I could use fewer presets (or possibly just one) for a gig if I could specify bpm on a set list. It would save a lot of time prepping presets. Thank you Fractal for considering it.

    Pedal Steel Patch - Pitch Block

    I used a sort of pedal steel simulation live two weeks ago for a song that had a country flavor and a few spots that were kind of broken down. I based it off the Michael Dolce video and adapted it to the FM3, but I wasn't bringing in different notes with switches. I used a volume block (first...

    Two Thumbs Up for Fractal Audio Customer Service!

    I have to add my two cents and agree with OP on Fractal support and Fractal as a company overall. Having used Fractal products for 13 years now, I've had the occasional issue over the years, and they have always been great to deal with. Timely, courteous, knowledgeable, & just great service...

    Footswitches Frozen In Perform Mode

    Had a freeze at rehearsal this week in the first 10 minutes. I was using a layout that had no hold functions, even for the Moskey stand-in switches. I setup the tap functions on the Moskey for preset increment and tuner. As I recall, I used the tuner one time, and preset increment once, and then...

    Footswitches Frozen In Perform Mode

    Per my previous posts, I had removed hold functions from the FM3's built-in switches. However, I had not removed them from my Moskey external switch, on which I use hold functions for decrementing preset and for toggling the tuner. I had multiple freezes playing live yesterday, several in a...

    FM3 Firmware Version 6.00 beta 3

    Running this beta, and had major switch freezing at church gig today that resolved once I removed the hold functions on my per-preset overrides. Not sure if that was coincidence or not, but I had freezing/rebooting on the first song during rehearsal and during each of the next two services...

    Footswitches Frozen In Perform Mode

    I've had the switch freeze issue for the last three Sundays I've played at my church, and I may be starting to home in a little bit on the issue. I prepare/practice at home with the FM3, and even though I sometimes have it on for most of the day, I very rarely experience the switch freeze at...

    FM3 Firmware Version 6.00 beta 3

    Late to the party, but super impressed once again at how great this sounds. I was happy with my 5.03 tones, but this stepped it up another notch, and the new SV20 model is my new go to. Since 5.03, I've spent so little time 'tweaking' or trying to dial in a good tone, and way more time just...

    Footswitches Frozen In Perform Mode

    It has happened to me much more frequently lately, once at rehearsal and twice during the early part of two different gigs. Very frustrating.

    FM3 purchase intention

    I use an external 2-button switch for preset up/down (on the hold functions), tap temp and tuner, which saves the FM3's switches for scene changes, and occasionally a per-preset effect switch. When playing live, I often would like just one or two more switches (I use the 2nd switch jack for an...

    What is your guitar whim right now?

    I have the Floyd one as well. I posted in another thread about how I like it so much I may get another. Great guitars.

    Own Two of the Same Guitar?

    A drummer I used to play with owned one of those and it was awesome. Might have to rethink my duplicate and give these another look.

    Own Two of the Same Guitar?

    The big draw for me is how the current one plays and feels. I’ve played examples that also felt great, so I’m sure it would at least be in the same ballpark. I might change pickups out on a 2nd. I’m also all for a different look on a 2nd, but they’re Korina, so there is variation in the visible...

    Own Two of the Same Guitar?

    I have definitely seen that, and I don't know that I'd catch lightning in a bottle twice, but I have played a couple of these that were pretty consistent. In fact, I had previously bought one of these that had some cosmetic issues I hadn't noticed before buying, and it played so well I was...

    Own Two of the Same Guitar?

    I have a guitar that I love - body material, neck material/profile/finish, SS frets, Floyd, pickups, etc. I have this guitar tuned to E flat, and with the way the Floyd sits, the action is super low, and I assume the for that reason and the neck finish/geometry, I can play faster and cleaner or...
