How many are using external loopers w/ Fractal?

I used several, mainly the Boss RC-5 and RC-10 (via midi control). The reason is that I can't store wav samples in a Fractal unit. If I could, that would be a game changer and I would be thrilled to use less gear. Perhaps a pipedream, but I’m hopeful that maybe the next hardware could support...

FM9-Edit Not Showing/Listing Dyn-Cabs

Greetings, I am unsure if this is a bug in the FM9-Edit, and I searched through the forum to see if anyone else has experienced this issue, so it seems I have that kind of luck. Ha. So I installed the latest firmware (5.01) and the new Dyna-Cab IRs (fm9_dyna_cabs_1p05). Everything was...

Deleted all presets, boot time the same

First-world problems. While it boots, I go make coffee... and making the coffee takes much longer, which is the real problem.

Windows. Is it worth to pay for an anti-virus?

For regular everyday use - Windows Defender is totally fine (as long you keep updating the definitions) If you do questionable stuff (no judgment) or visit higher-risk torrent sites, etc., I would use F-Secure or something similar that is reliable and keeps a smaller footprint on your system...

Grab and go.. combo amp like solution for the FM3?

I use the PowerStage 170 into an Accugroove Latte. At only about 32 lb it's pure FRFR bliss. I've had my Latte for years, so if I was to buy it now, I “might” opt for the powered version. However, I will add that the power amp can make all the difference (especially if you get the wrong one, but...

Goodbye, Todd D. "bishop5150" Bishop

I'm so shocked to hear this news. I was so confident he was going to beat this, he had the will and the spirit to do so. (sigh) Why is it they always take the good ones...? Todd was without doubt one of the more friendly and inspiring people on this forum. I will echo the condolences and sorrow...

TIL #2 - Where Have All the Good Times Gone

OMG... ROFLOL! Well, don't feel bad. Somewhat related... To add further confusion to that, when the Kinks do "You Really Got Me" live now, I've heard Ray Davies (jokingly) says; "Okay, we're gonna do a Van Halen song now…!" Haha!

Epic 80's Song that needs recognition

Along with Scatterbrain... this was another great album to close out the '80s. Such a fun (and funny) album... Another band that should have gotten more recognition.

Epic 80's Song that needs recognition

Stepping out... That is a great cut! This is another (great) lost cut from Joe in '82... I think this is one that really hits the OP's requirements too...

Epic 80's Song that needs recognition

The sound of '82, truly a band that needs recognition. One of my favorite live jams, no crazy shred, just an honest rock vibe... They had the stupidest logo (mascot), but overall a solid band that captured the spirit of rock n' roll. I'm surprised no one mentioned them.
