    Wish Global Blocks on FM3 Still Wishful Thinking?

    Do you have proof of CPU usage using a lot? I see no reason why it would use any, or if it did very minimal. Now memory to store the global blocks is a different thing.

    New Flanger Pedal

    the walking on the moon flanger internally is identical to the deluxe electric mistress which is now discontinued. Different case, different logos, same pedal.

    NAMM 2022 meetup?

    Not sure if badges will be for sale again. Think that was a change to make money due to low attendance and lack of exhibitors. I did not go this year but saw videos of the show floor and wow, just looked empty, not like I know. So many companies were missing, to name a couple of the big ones...

    Waitlist Email

    Great to see all these orders getting in after such a long wait. I was lucky and was on the waitlist ~40 minutes after the announcement so had one a while. You will all love it i'm sure.

    FM9 Turbo Warranty

    I never buy extended warranties. Of course something can always happen. For context with Fractal gear I have an Ultra, II Mk1, MFC101, AX8, III Mk1, FM9 and never had an issue with any of them and all working perfectly.

    Great gig, bad FC-12

    Sounds like it might have been a FOH guy so............

    Great gig, bad FC-12

    While i agree with you on knowing what your plugging into. Examples you quoted think only one would blow something up. Power amp output into some input (apart from a speaker)..

    Great gig, bad FC-12

    Always bad to use a standard connection type for something non standard. I remember when Dell used to use standard ATX connector on motherboards but they re-wired it. Failed power supply, replaced it with new one and guess what, fried it. Needed a dell one. They don't do that anymore.
  11. M

    Great gig, bad FC-12

    Yeah probably can't then. So maybe using standard xlr was a bad idea then since it can fry it.
  12. M

    Great gig, bad FC-12

    If my memory is correct, this happened in the standard/ultra days connecting the xlr outs to a cable with phantom power would fry it. This didn't happen with the 2 as it had protection against it. Surprised the FC's suffer from this unless by design its not possible to protect against it...

    Tim Pierce Shout Out to Fractal & the FM9

    Great video. I've watched quite a few of his. Great player and always comes across as a down to earth guy. This video resonated with me being a big fan of Ritchie Blackmore. Saw him first in 1980 when i was 15. Nice shoutout to Fractal too.

    FM9 Larry Mitchell is currently Live

    Larry does 2 shows each week. Tuesday and Sunday. Both 9pm Eastern. Tuesday is Electric, Sunday is Acoustic. Both are worth watching. Check his YouTube channel or on Facebook. Bring the hot chocolate and popcorn on Sundays. Watch and you will see.

    Electric Mistress Emulation - Axe-Fx III

    I'm going to have to give this a try. Have a Deluxe Electric Mistress from around 1977 still in original box. Guys from EHX at NAMM said to me that's worth money. Got one of the rebranded Mooer clones as it was so cheap. One day i'll A/B them.

    AFIII Andy Wood at Axe-Fest East

    Love Andy and his playing. Bumped into and talked to him quite a few times over the past few years at NAMM. Such a nice guy. Watching him do a demo, don't think there is a style he can't play. Went from Country/Chickin Pickin to heavy metal in less than 15 minutes and did everything in between...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware Version 5.00 Beta #3

    And unlike Brian May's AC30's the model won't catch fire.
  29. M

    Can we change the phase of an amp?

    A lot of the out of phase tone from Brian might be just from source, ie the Red Special. 3 pickups each having an on off and phase reversal. Quite a few videos on youtube if you search Brian May Rig Rundown. Good one from his tech Pete Malandrone. Actually on the Axe you can simulate his rig...

    Congrats on the GT-22. Its a great unit, very solidly built.

    How loud should the fan be?

    Fan on mine is very quiet. Way way quieter than my II Mk1

    You can tell a lot of work and thought has gone into the III manual. I suspect a lot of it is from @Admin M@

    No more real cabs for me

    I've loved my setup of a Matrix GT1500 into Atomic passive CLR's. Used with both my Axe-FX II and AX8. Not hooked my III up to them yet, this weekend for sure I will.

    BitDefender Antivirus Interferes with Axe-Fx III Driver Installation

    When installing the driver do you also have the II driver installed? I'm sure Fractal thought of this though having both installed on the same machine. My III arrives today so will be trying to install the driver. Will post my results when I know anything.

    Why Has Slash Not Fractalized Yet?

    I watched this rig rundown tonight. When I heard the part about all those iso cabs offstage just thought why not go fractal. Interesting what was used for feedback due to all cabs that were miked for FOH being offstage.

    Fuck you Gibson

    Boy I've seen so many pictures of Gibson's where the headstock has cracked like this. I got talking to a Luthier in a line at NAMM and asked how many headstocks he had repaired, he said you have no idea. I was wondering why it is, as from what I can tell it doesn't happen to Epiphones...

    RIP Tom Petty..

    This is so surreal to me. Had the pleasure of seeing him perform 2 weeks ago as of yesterday. Headliner of the last day of the KAABOO music festival in Del Mar, California. Such an amazing show. I'll have the memories and the pictures I took. Still difficult to believe he has gone.

    Best deals you've ever found

    My best deal was many years ago when I was 11 (1976). Our next door neighbors son used to play guitar but gave up and they had gear just lying around.
