Let's see those FM3 rigs!

very cool, do you use the IEC module with the temple board? you can use an IEC Y cable then underneath the board to hook up pedal power supply and the FM3 just need to cut one side on the board holes to fit the IEC cable through easily

Black Metal Preset

thanks 🙏 given how we use blocks in parallel / setting the bypass mode correctly after the amp and cab, it's probably less apparent in that scenario (although if you've set a block in parallel after the amp/cab in bypass mode to 'thru' you've probably heard the volume boost 😊 this translates...

trouble letting go...

i've still got pedals/pedalboards and thinned the herd per say to two tube amps (a vox ac10 + my vht deliverance 60) i hardly ever plug into my pedalboard/amp setup, but when i do i'm reminded why i've still got it, it's instant gratification as it were, and there's certain...

Is it possible to get this tone on FM3?

ah thanks 🙏 ownhammer lowtuned live + snarl hardpanned / stereo a lot is in the hands /guitar as well, and chances are when tracking there's probably extra eq maybe compression as well using outboard gear what guitar/pickups are you using?

Is it possible to get this tone on FM3?

i'm not at home, but i have a feeling it's more a case of getting your Low-Cut before the amp right and then the multi-band compressor the low cut before the amp is a big one on very low tuned guitars there's two ways of doing it , via a Filter block before the amp (which can also double as a...

FM3 plus other multi-effect pedal

another way is to use a Splitter after your guitar before the FM3 and your Zoom/Multi effect/combo amp I'd recommend the Lehle P-Split for this sort of stuff, high quality device, an A/B pedal would work otherwise, but might be noisy are you trying to compare the zoom into the combo , compared...

Strange behavior with Input Pad

then you're good to go, it's not strange behaviour i wouldn't worry about that setting too much, as long as you're not constantly in the red, or if you're perhaps only hitting green bars i've read people refer to the 498t as medium output , the 500t with the ceramic magnet would be the higher...

Brutal hi-gain / creative boosting techniques (END , Knocked Loose, Code Orange etc..)

thanks 🙏 i think i might a pushed the gain too much on parts 😄 i did a part 1 where it's a bit more controlled but same concept parallel EQ chainsaw fuzz chains before an amp is lots of fun in any case

Cabs - hi & low cuts?

it's a great question, the hi and low cut is a general sort of EQ move that is also done a lot when EQing guitars for a mix , and a lot depends as well what other instruments are there, and what the general mix actually is a low cut of 60-80hz won't necessarily make your guitar sound thin, to...

switching scene from a guitar switch?

you might find this Thrice rig rundown interesting, that's exactly what he's setup with the Helix setup guitar has a TRS cable/custom wiring, and depending on the snapshot /preset it will use either the bridge or neck pickup it's limited to the two pickups here, but it's the first time I've...
