    Gretsch -- Thinking of buying this one.... Advice....

    I have both a Gretsch and a couple of Strats, it is all subjective. I prefer the Gretsch for ambient because it has a much more mellow sound, whereas the Strats have sharper transients that cut through more (and sometimes you might not want this if you are creating big, washy ambient tones). My...

    FM9 Factory Presets version 9.x Release

    Thanks for all the huge amount of work on these presets! They seem to sound better with each release because of the FW updates but also because of all the extra goodies/Easter Eggs you guys add to them! I'm halfway through them at the moment, I keep getting stuck on a fun one and sit for an hour...

    FM9-Edit 1.03.10

    Thanks for this update @Michael Pickens ! I found a small bug with the Plex Delay block layouts. If you add the Plex 1 "Chan Inc / Dec" function, set it to Wrap, then the Upper Limit only goes up to B instead of D. I can recreate this with the latest Factory Presets: 1) Select 59 Bassguy 2)...

    Ah sorry, been away from my desk and missed your reply. It's not a biggie, I was just trying to help by reporting it so it could be caught in the next round up. Also, no Control Switches or Scene Controllers have been used for the Pitch Block. I'm reasonably confident it is just a case of the...

    Doesn't seem to be, there are no modifiers on the Bypass - unless there is another way to set it to auto engage? But playing the scene definitely doesn't trigger the Pitch Block.

    Dyna cabs and IR's issue.

    As per my reply to you:

    Dyna cabs and IR's issue.

    Enable it and check on your side, we don’t know if there might be something else with your config. But let us know if this does resolve it or not. I do think it’s worth going to the latest FW and DynaCabs update as per my post, it will give you a good starting point.
  20. chucma

    Dyna cabs and IR's issue.

    Not sure what is going on here, although try enabling Cabinet Modeling to see if that resolves this. Also, check that you have the latest FW installed here (FW28.03) and use the latest Dyna Cabs from that link.

    Downloaded preset sounds much different to a youtube video

    There are a lot of factors that will change how your sound compares to the video. The pickups can change the sound drastically. Other factors are if you are on a different firmware version to the video, the way the video was recorded (i.e. was it double tracked, was it direct or mic in the room...

    Brett Kingman from FAS blew me away with his demo of the FM9

    Just to say on this, your videos remind me of when I was a kid and I was waiting for my weekly Dandy/Beano comic to arrive in the post, there was always loads of excitement/anticipation and I always loved reading them (except I'd be watching in your case). I have used a lot of your presets in...

    NEW! DynaCab Pack: 1x12 West Coast Classic (MojoTone West Coast + Scholz SugarCone Classic)

    Was that maybe Cab Block 2? I think SW auto config will disable that, so checking if that maybe happened? I’ve been playing with this pack using SW mode for a few days now on my FM9 turbo and it’s been good. My preset has 2 cab blocks though.

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    I took the feet off my FM9 and used heavy duty Velcro to attach it to the board, and I did have to trim the foam slightly where the knobs on the FM9 are positioned. So it is snug but works well enough to protect it when travelling back/forth.

    Mine is the Diago Showman PB03. It's great because it has a very solid lid, so it works fine for short trips in the car to gigs and back. Probably not flight case level of protection though, but still much more than a bag. It's out of stock here, but there are a couple of other sites with...

    Fender FR-12 vs. Studio monitors

    That would be frustrating. I use the Behringer Monitor2USB as an audio interface because it allows me to select multiple outputs, which in my case are Fender FR12, Adams A7Vs, and my recently sold Atomic CLRs. It is great because you don't need to reboot anything, you can select any of the...

    QC versus Axe3

    Good video! I bought myself a QC simply out of curiosity, and returned it within the 2 week window.

    FM3 amp in a room sound I think I found a good solution

    "Amp in the room" should really be changed to "guitar cabinet in the room" as this is really what makes that sought after sensation (IMHO) But cool idea with the Katana. I have a Fender FR12 which I enjoy playing through at home/gigs, but am always open to to other options.
  42. chucma

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    Not gonna lie, am having a serious think about it. But the main reason is cos I don’t want to loose my FC12, I use all 12 buttons with 2 layouts (I know, a little IA greedy). Fitting a VP4 to my board would be a challenge. And I’ve not managed to get the pitch tracking as dialled in as on my...
  43. chucma

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    I have been considering getting one of these for the send/receive loop in my FM9T to free up some CPU. It means I could delete my Pitch Block and possibly a couple of other blocks, and the tracking on the POG3 seems to be pretty good (judging by YT videos). Having said that, my FM9T is doing a...
  44. chucma

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    True, I use an FC12 with my FM9 and I use up each and every switch. And I think if there were infinite switches I would still find a reason to use them all (I came from a GT22 :smile: ).
  45. chucma

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    First reason I would do it is to give me instant access to my presets effects, so you could have a couple of drives and delays always available to you without changing layouts. And the other reason is you can free up some extra juicy CPU headroom on the FM9 for going crazy with.

    Can you tell them apart? 2024 Fractal verses 1964 Fender

    Ran stereo at the gig last night…

    That is very cool! I use stereo delays a lot and always adjust the L/R Time Ratio to something small like 99% (or for mono the Right Post Delay to 4ms). Really effective in stereo and super satisfying on the ears!

    It is a great video, and I think it was more about the way you would construct a preset with effects rather than an actual tone.

    Axe-Fx III Factory Presets for firmware 27.03

    The Dyna-Cabs were not meant to be a replacement to the IRs (or even the old IRs), they are there to give us more options when shaping our tone. Some IRs (as you probably already know) are mixed differently when recorded, and they can have a really nice sound that still works well today, no...

    This is what I am seeing:
  59. chucma

    Axe-Fx III Factory Presets for firmware 27.03

    Altho the Reverb1 block is set to Mute FX In, which blocks the Plex signal and there is no other path for the Plex signal to take. So you get a dry sound. Unless.....is this because I have opened it on an FM9 and this maybe changed the layout slightly?
  60. chucma

    Axe-Fx III Factory Presets for firmware 27.03

    Fremen's Super Verb clean sounds amazing! This will be my go to clean preset from now on! Altho, Scene 5 might need to have the Reverb1 block enabled? It id disabled by default and stops the Plex block from coming through (the Scene is named Plex Verb).

    Always discovering new things

    I was a big user of the Output compressor for many years, until maybe in the last year with FW updates - the amps have their own natural, chewy compression thing working for them. So much so that I didn't need to use the Output Compressor anymore. Having said that, I also found that using too...

    Praise and Worship presets ?

    The FM9 has a dedicated Reverb core, the AXE FX III doesn’t. I have both products, it is useful to drop the quality of the reverb on the AXE FX III if you want to save some CPU, but as mentioned the FM9 doesn’t make a difference so I have always just run it on high.
  66. chucma

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    Here is mine so far: The FC12 is great for direct access to the effect blocks, whereas the FM9 handles Scenes and Presets (although not currently reflecting that in my photo).

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    Yeah, it does take up a lot of space, fortunately I play big'ish stages (not pro). I have them both separate so I can position them independently of each other.

    I have been using my FM9T for over a year now, and I push it to the limit in terms of layout and preset functionality.

    Volume block vs Out block volume

    Also further to the info already provided, the Volume blocks can be controlled by scenes, so you can bypass it in different scenes in case you want that controller to be used elsewhere. And they barely use any CPU so they are handy at a very low cost.

    Axe FXiii and FM9 together?

    I have both. I used to use the Axe3 with a GT22 for live stuff and recordings, but replaced both of those units with the FM9T for Live use. Today the Axe3 remains on my shelf, sadly I don't find the need to power it up very often as I have found it just as easy to use the FM9T for recordings...
