    FM3 as Audio Interface for Tonex/Amplitube

    Are you feeding the Tonex into the FM3 then into your computer, or are you going to the computer, then back to the FM3 (which will add latency)? I'd think the best way to do it would be to insert the Tonex into the FX loop of the FM3 and use it instead of the amp block with the FM3 FX around it...

    FM3 Repair

    My USB port died a couple of months ago. G66 use a repair shop in the UK, Glasgow, which is 30 mins from me. This is the second time I have visited him (last time was for an encoder issue). On both occasions the repair was covered under warranty, and was carried out same day - drop off and...

    Van Halen 1 Cygnus?

    OK - I missed this. Just put this into CabLab and wowsers, that adds some snarl and sizzle. I love it.

    Van Halen 1 Cygnus?

    This is brilliant. Thanks. This plus @Burgs Phaser setting and the YA M25 cab is just so much fun. I discovered this days after finally getting an EVH Wolfgang USA Stealth and have had a total blast. I did tweak the Sunplate a little bit as it sounded a bit boomy on anything but Ultra quality- I...

    Too much to ask?

    Yep. Per preset is the way. You can even setup your FM3 to power on in per preset layout. I did that for a while.

    Keyboard with low EMI?

    I haven't noticed an issue when using the Logitech mx keys with my Mac. The backlight on that keyboard turns off after a few seconds of no use which might help. Using my PC though, it's the monster graphics card that generates noise (but only with single coils), but I tend to use the Mac with...

    Headphone Amp - Headphone recommendations for FM3 (No Headphone Jack)

    I connect to a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 (I'm sure there are even cheaper versions) and plug my headphones in to that. I use DT880pro 250ohm which sound pretty good with the FM3.

    Question re current plugins vs Fm3 Axe technology

    I downloaded NDSP Nolly demo. I thought it was OK, but it's a long way from Fractal in tone. I also struggled with latency.

    Comparison between Friedman Dirty Shirley and Fractal FM3 Dirty Shirley modeling

    Very nice. I liked the real amp best. Very Andy Timmons sounding.

    Favorite factory presets for SSS strat (overdriven)

    There’s a nice Deluxe Reverb preset. I made a few scenes to toggle different ODs in front of it - KOT, TS, and Fulldrive (which I think was in the preset).

    Solved: FM3 sounded muffled until I positioned my studio monitors appropriately

    If you always run your monitors cranked then sooner or later you’ll put a hot signal in there and blow the speakers. Why not run your monitors half way and then turn the volume up a bit on your FM3 instead. Not a fix for whatever makes it muffled, but protection for your monitors at least. You...

    Schoolboy error - connected the battery wires back to front! Oops

    FM3 + EMGS - Help

    Don't have an amp. I am thinking it must be the wiring. Have reached out to EMG. It's a pre-wired, solder less pick guard. Should be plug and play.

    FM3 + EMGS - Help

    I've just installed the EMG SL20 Lukather set in my Strat. I plug into the FM3 and there's a slow ramp up in sound but it still sounds weak. If I turn the volume now it makes a weird noise, beeps and thumps and instantly goes to zero. Wind it back up, same thing, then a slow whoosh in sound...
