    Interface/junction box for FM3

    Is this the two basic routings you're after? Guitar --> Pedals --> FM3 IN1 --> FM3 OUT2 --> Pedals --> Poweramp/Cab/Loadbox Guitar --> Pedals --> Amp --> Amp SEND --> Pedals --> Amp RETURN --> Cab/Loadbox For stuff like this and in a home/studio setup, a patchbay is probably...

    Interface/junction box for FM3

    This would be how I'd perm route the setup. Unless there's some burning need to have an external switcher to 100% bypass the FM3 then you would just do it this way. The only caveat I can think of is properly gain staging the patches to make sure the ins and outs are identical with fx engaged or...

    The Greatest Recto Tone Ever?

    There’s a thread on tgp praising the original line6 pod, someone there claimed that they’d used a pod on hybrid theory 🤦‍♂️ Takes about 3 seconds to hear the tone and deduce that it’s not a pod Didn’t realise it was a modded Marshall but the sound is great on them

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    The difference is it’s your presets changing so you know the stuff better than random amps at a store. My analogy involves a spirited nephew getting into my music room and playing DJ with my pedals and amp knobs….. beat it kid!

    fx3 into 5150 iii 50w head return

    Any 5150iii being described as “not as full” just sounds like an eq or gain thing. I can’t think of a family of amps that sound any more similar. All the 5150iiis rule and I wouldn’t sweat what people say about the difference between the 50 and 100w versions, they are all basically the same

    Wish New device - desktop FX3 - FM9 - (small and portable interface)

    In my context breakout box = DSP unit like the UAD apollos. You can sprinkle the plugins all over the session to work in real time but the processing is done in the hardware unit not on your computer. It's also a good security measure seeing as the UAD plugins never got cracked.

    Wish New device - desktop FX3 - FM9 - (small and portable interface)

    +1 this would be amazing. SPDIF In/Out would make the workflow to other interfaces better than just the OUT on the FM3. I still dream of a day where we have Fractal Native so we can tweak things on the fly and aren't limited by hardware horsepower. Even if it was tied to a breakout box like this...

    Kemper Player is out, so pretty much all the competition now has a mini 3 button product… still no Fractal FM3 Lite???

    The recent wave of digital "amp only" boxes like ToneX, UAFX, Kemper now etc has made me realise that if I ever wanted some solution like this for a pedalboard then the FM3 is the way to go. Less cables, No need for other pedals (unless they do a specialised job) and just infinitely easier. I...

    My AxeFX III sounds bad, and I don't know why

    From what I've heard from your Axefx3 sounds fine, it just sounds like an issue with dialing it in and expectations about tone/eq/how it sits. The DI had a bit of EMI but nothing egregious, the general tone of the pickup is good and the EMI can probably be mitigated if you record away from the...

    After this exhaustive thread it would seem like a cool option to do but if some random amp tech was like "trust me bro lets tweak the presence pot taper" I think a person would be more like... well, the 5150's are pretty damn well received as is... lets just leave it as stock, its not really a...

    There are so many different setups you can do with the axe but my preferred for ultimate hybrid tone is 4CM and between the FM3 hitting the front of the amp I'll put in OD/Drive pedals.

    IV anywhere on the horizon?

    Fair points, I'd just love to try some boutique gear that realistically is never going to be modelled by Fractal. It would be great for someone to have the ability to profile it, have the fractal models do the best they can to simulate the profile and then be available to share around.

    IV anywhere on the horizon?

    IIRC Cliff has said a bunch of times he has no interest in profiling so I doubt it will come but.... hear me out.... As far as I can tell profilers have a few amp models/drives etc under the hood and when they "capture" the impulse response through the rig it does its best to select a...

    Tone Match is awesome (step aside, Kemper and Quad Cortex)

    I dont know why this topic always has so much mystery and hocus pocus around it 1) Tone match is just EQ'ing your fractal tone to the source tone. 2) Profiling is running a signal through the hardware to replicate its various responses I like tone matching when I've dialed in a patch and...

    Australian pricing?

    I'm sure every Aussie looking into Fractal gear has done these financial gymnastics in their heads. It does seem like double the price at a glance but when you factor in fluctuating exchange rates, US taxes, AU taxes, straight up shipping cost from the US, local storage for IM...

    OMG. Beta 5

    Must have missed these when I was peeking through it all, but yep that would definitely explain some new mojo to existing patches. I'm still on 4.01 so I might record some riffs with some current presets and then side by side compare it to v5. I know it's semi redundant cause you can...

    OMG. Beta 5

    Are you saying the newly added stuff sounds better or existing patches sound better? I’ve read through the release notes and can’t see what specifically would make existing patches sound better, am curious what you’re trying out? Keen to update mine tomorrow and give it a whirl 🥳

    June 15, 2022. The day the Kemper Profiler patent expires.

    I mean I agree with you, I love checking out the cygnus presets, creating my own and messing around with all fractal has to offer. But if you can envision someone firing up a kemper, scrolling through presets and having the same experience of awesome tone then they'd be in the same boat. "Why...

    June 15, 2022. The day the Kemper Profiler patent expires.

    The scenario I mentioned would have been someone wanting a specific tone and purchasing a specific Kemper pack, tons of people sell them. Basically like selling a preset except it's not a preset, it's their profiled rigs (in a preset, lol). I mainly mentioned this because more entry level people...
