Gift of Tone 2023 FINAL - Neal Schon!

Appreciate it; glad its not just me with the fuzz face; understood and have done so as soon as it was squealing in my ears. interesting though that when CC's demo with the same settings, it didn't seem that he had any issue; wondering if there were gate differences or other differences. CC?

Noisy Hammer Active 4x12 cab

They do make a passive version as well without the PS200; agreed on the 700 vs 200. As you stated, with the cost of the components, it's not unreasonable; but maybe a passive version with a higher output amp would be the ticket (if lugging that much around is not a problem!)

Can you unplug your guitar (instrument) while FM3 is on?

yes tuner with mute setting would do it quickly; another method is to get silent jacks on your guitar cables. They work great. https://www.neutrik.com/en/neutrik/products/plugs-jacks/plugs/professional-1-4-plugs/silentplug
