    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    Been waiting for Liam's board before ordering but had a chance to pick up an FR-10 on the weekend so pulled the trigger. I haven't opened it up to see if I have a revised board from Fender but honestly the slight hiss I hear isn't an issue unless I'm with within a couple of feet and the driver...

    Measuring frequency response Redsound MF10

    When measuring a full range speaker, your target should not be flat to start with. The ideal target is actually closer to the Harman curve which has been demonstrated to be closer to ideal for human hearing. A truly flat response has too much highs and would sound to shrill. That said, vast...

    Correct EQ for FRFR speakers with FM3

    Some things to consider: The HS7s are full range down to ~50Hz then drop off pretty quickly, and up to about 12KHz then drop off about 6db to 20Khz - these are already a really good range for guitar tones but I would still filter everything below 70Hz and above 8.5KHz-10Khz in your cabinet...

    Game changer for dialing presets!

    I picked this up last week for my home studio really not expecting much. I did the quick profile (not enough time to complete the full profile) with the included mic and downloaded into the hardware which took about 10 minutes total. Honestly, I was absolutely blown away by the results - very...

    Are you using Axe-Fx/FM9/FM3 with a tube amp?

    I use my FM3 into a MOTU Mk5 interface via S/pdif attached to a pair of Yamaha HS7 studio monitors in my home office, FM9 with headphones, or via S/pdif to my AV receiver powering a pair of Tannoy monitors (in my family room), or occasionally via the effects return of an H&K TubeMeister amp into...

    Axe-FX IV idea for Fractal

    Not another touchscreen please - how about just add midi over Bluetooth and a port of the editor to iOS/Android so we can use our tablets as an interface.

    Fender FR-12 preamp mod : The Hissterectomy

    Add me to the list - was going to pick up a pair of FR10s when they launched but the hiss reports have held me back - would happily mod a couple of units with WKSmith's boards if/when he launches!! Looks like great progress - time to start posting timeline and pricing - how about a waitlist? ;-)

    Poll: Second unit for home use and backup

    I don't even gig (home player only). FM9 in the family room and FM3/FC6 in the basement (I'm too lazy to carry one unit up and down the stairs) and a H&K Tubemeister + Mesa 1x12 cab in the living room. Guitars all over the house and at the office - you never know when I might feel inspired to...

    FM3 as power source for Line6 Relay G50

    BTW: Another option is to just use a dedicated 9V - 18V battery like the Harley Benton PowerPlant PowerBank+ MkII or JOYO Built-in 4400mAh Rechargeable Battery Guitar Effect Pedal Power Supply 8 Outputs 9V 12V (I'm sure there are others - I use a TallentCell NB7102 battery bank for my Spark...

    FM3 as power source for Line6 Relay G50

    Thought I'd chime in and offer an alternative solution that I've been using for a while now (don't want to risk my FM3 or FM9). I power my 9V devices (eg Line 6 wireless) using a USB power bank and Ripcord from MyVolts.com. Never had a problem with these. USB power banks (batteries) are so cheap...

    Audio out to wireless headphones? by bypassing final d/a converter?

    YH-WL500 Wireless Musical Instrument Headphones Different solution, but I've been using these recently to get low latency audio from my FM9.

    Low volume from S/PDIF out ?

    Same problem - SPDIF output seems low.

    Low volume from S/PDIF out ?

    I have exactly the same problem. I run the audio from my computer to the FM3 via USB and route to out1 which comes through with significantly more volume than the guitar/amp tones produced by the FM3. I route the FM3 to an SMSU DAC via coax then from the DAC to my studio monitors. I always end...

    Monitor suggestions

    For an inexpensive option, you can't really go wrong with the HS7s (no need for the HS8's for guitar tone or a Sub for that matter unless you are mixing). They absolutely are NOT flat but that's why we have EQ. I've also had great sound from Tannoy (back in the day), Adam, and Focal - nothing...

    Doubts before acquiring an fm9. Help

    All I can tell you is that I've sold all of my other heads, cabs and effects (well almost all) having been a Fractal fan starting with the Ultra which I reluctantly sold. I still have an AX8, FM3+FC-6 and now an FM9 spread on each level of my home so I can play/practice on every floor - whenever...
