    I'm trying to figure out how to use the FM3 in live situations that I have coming up. I've got the FM3 set to change presets, and FC6 set to change scenes. When I change a scene on the FC6 and then change a preset on the FM#, I get a reddish warning window that the preset contains unsaved...

    Temple SOLO 18?

    I have a duo 24 from using and ax8 etc. I think I’ll start with that for now. Being that I also have and fc6 I was first going to go with a duo 34. My thinking is that I can keep the fc6 in a separate bag as it will set up very quickly and doesn’t necessarily require mounting to a board. And...

    Temple SOLO 18?

    Yes thanx. I looked at that and I’m wondering if the handles are removed from the temple board and the ev2 exp pedals sit on the edges if that might work. Also the width of a Solo is narrower than the fm3 so it would hang over a little on top and bottom and I wonder if the soft case can safely...

    Looks great with the lights and kitty! I have a question or two. Those look like mission pedals which are larger than fractal ev2. How did u order a 21” duo? Direct from Temple Audio? And what about a carry bag? thanx!!
