    Latency Per Preset

    If you are using the stock 'Per-Preset' Layout, there are 'Hold' placeholder assignments there. Even if you don't have any 'Hold' functions on your 'Per-Preset' assignments in your preset, they are still there on that 'Layout'. If you foresee not ever needing any Hold functions in that Layout...

    Handling 3 sets of outputs

    Not sure if 'Stereo' is needed for your FRFR and/or guitar poweramp/cab. If not, you could use Out 2 Left for FRFR with Cab sims, and Right for the real cab without cab sims. And than use a dedicated EQ block for each (CPU permitting) for independent EQ and level adjustments, with the...

    Input Sensitivity?

    Lower notes produce more energy/volume. And the lighter string tension will let that string oscillate more, all of which makes it slightly louder than before. Lower your Input A/D Sensitivity a little bit more and leave it there.

    Running the Synergy into Axe 3 into poweramp out to cabinets on stage.

    The post didn't mention the Synergy, but I now see it in the title. You would need to add Out 3 and Input 3 as a loop to add your Synergy to the signal path. I would expect to see some 'pre' effects before that 'loop'. Then some post effects. Then the spit for the power amp/cab send.

    wet/dry/wet question

    I would go with speakers/cabs that are rated at the power amp output or higher. In this type of solid-state setup, you don't really want any power amp distortion, like you might with a tube power amp setup. The FM3 will model all of that internally.
  42. Moke

    wet/dry/wet question

    You may need to change some global settings of particular Outputs to match the needs of whatever you are connecting them to. But, what part(s) of your preset(s) that is routed to which Output(s) will need to be setup on the 'grid' of the preset(s).

    Again... YES You just have to setup the amp/effect blocks and Output 1 and 2 blocks as desired.
