FM9 Headphones output extremely loud - Ear protection

Not sure of your setup, but I have used a 12 channel small Mackie Mixer to run everything through in my home studio. I can adjust the various output volumes as needed. I actually run my headphones out of the Mackie.

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

Well I reloaded the Naked Amp presets into the FW7 FM9 unit and did not do the reset amp block thing in the Preset Manager. The presets all now sound just like the ones in the Axe Fx 3 except for a few output level differences which are unit specific and normal. None of the odd loss of top...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

I did a Reset Amp Block of all presets in Preset Manager which I believe is supposed to automatically SAVE. It is strange as the Naked Amp presets sound excellent in the AXE FX3, and the LIVE GOLD presets all sound great in the FM9. The Naked Amp top end and gain is subdued and there is a slight...

Presets MASTER THREAD - AustinBuddy's 1400+ NAKED AMPS TonePack for firmware Cygnus X2

FWIW here is my experience with FW 7.00 on FM9 and Naked Amp presets with amp reset. All of the presets have lost some top end and clarity and definition. (same issue even when I did not reset the amps) I also have FW25 on my AXE FX3 with the Naked Amp presets and they sound great. Big...

Subwoofer placement

Agree, move it around and adjust volume and xover and the symmetry placement advice by @unFILTERed is kind of an important rule. Subwoofers are not directional. But, in general closer to the wall you will get more bass, further from wall less. That has a front firing port so not as critical...

Axe bogging down my computer and freezing

Windows 10 did not come out until 2015. If your computer is 13 years old it came with Windows 7. Somewhere along the line you installed Win 8 and then Win 10. The issue could be any number of hardware or software issues. Get a new computer, they are dirt cheap.

Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

Not sure I hear any major changes on my usual factory and aftermarket presets after I did a soft reset on all 768, but it had already been fantastic for several months over multiple firmware updates. I only do minor tweaks to tailor to my guitars and rig. Whatever Fractal thinks is an...

Best presets to buy for FM9?

I have been Fractal user since I think 2008. Have always liked Bank 1 on the Factory presets as a starting point. I have the Austin Buddy Live Gold and Naked Amps and the newly released Plus Pack 2024 for single coils. All really well done.

FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (1)

Got it loaded up with most recent FM9-Edit and tried several of my favorite presets. Word of warning, I am not a big tweaker. Use Bank 1 of stock presets with simple low cut on cabs. Use Austin Buddy presets. The FM 9 sounds and feels great.

Matrix Amp and Matrix Cabs or 2 Laney LFR 212’s?

Not sure what your planned use is. I use a MAtrix GT1000FX and a 1X12 Celestion V30 Cab. I then turn off the AXE FX 3 Cabs. Plenty loud and punchy and amp in the room thing. I like it, but I am not a gigging musician. I also have a FR/FR setup with Yamaha HS8 powered monitors. Also good.

Need online tech support

Most companies have gone to virtual assistant online support which totally sucks. I would agree that simply posting a question or issue in the appropriate forum gets a helpful response quickly here at all hours of the day or night, and Cliff chimes in if needed. Pretty amazing really. And yes...

Really need help and it should be easy for you.

I have exact same monitor and sub setup and Sennheiser HD600 headphones. No complaints. I use a lot of factory and also aftermarket presets. The Yamaha monitors can be bass heavy IMO if not placed correctly or setup correctly. Move them away from the wall as they are rear ported and stuff the...
