    Help finding a Freq that's ringing out

    just wondering what guitar are you using here? might be related to the nut, or strings ringing out behind the nut or if you've got a tune-a-matic below the saddles, it can sometimes even be pickup springs, tremolo/springs , those sorts of things

    Tips for Mono IEM's (AKA the death of guitar tone)

    so for us in the practice room Center: vocals / bass / kick drum / Stereo OH mics hardpanned in our rehearsal space for the drums guitars: hardpanned L + R for Live we get a basic drum mix back from FOH , which usually is a basic single channel/mono mix, mainly kick/snare as we get some sound...

    Havin' trouble to smooth out the high end of Dynacabs - Can you suggest settings?

    maybe a different angle is it definitely the highs that are an issue ? given a high cut at 5khz, is it maybe piercing mids that are perhaps the issue (2.5-4k range say) with a particular cab this can be pushed even more nothing wrong with your setup otherwise, the 535s are pretty decent, i used...

    Baritone / Low tuning preset - From heavy (Loathe etc..) to ambient

    Tips for Mono IEM's (AKA the death of guitar tone)

    we managed to switch to stereo IEMs about a month ago, and agree the difference is quite staggering mono was definitely ok (we're a 4 piece band, 1 guitarist/bass/drummer/singer) but stereo meant things got clearer/better separation and a lot more enjoyable overall, also meant being able to set...

    Baritone / Low tuning preset - From heavy (Loathe etc..) to ambient

    thanks , they're great guitars i think i haven't tried grinder/brutal style boosts just yet, but i can imagine it working well with cutting lows, the lower the tuning it seems to benefit more from less gain as well, the gretsch pickups have a very particular tone to them as well, which is cool

    What guitar cable do you use?

    Envelope follower sources

    happy to help =) if the FX Send/Return isn't being used it's a pretty cool use of routing for some applications
  14. Paul Bradshaw

    Envelope follower sources

    it is a legitimate hack i guess yes =) you won't lose stereo, if OUT1 is your main out , it's like you're adding a pedal via the FX loop , so a physical patch cable whatever happens won't be affected, and if it's all mono before the amp/cab it doesn't matter INPUT2 then becomes the source for...

    ok great, glad you found a solution to your issues, power/interference can be an absolute nightmare sometimes feel free to use the preset however you please, it's your setup after all, i just made some small tweaks =)

    Envelope follower sources

    short of using a patch cable within your SEND/return loop and then using Input2 as your envelope follower source, not sure how you'd get this done otherwise ie. In1 - VOL/pan - out2 / In2 - Auto wah block etc... otherwise a proper volume pedal before the FM3, but that's not what you're after i...

    yes it all lined up nicely on the duo24, i placed the board between two chairs and then checked from below (like a car mechanic :D) to make things easier to line things up on their other boards i imagine it's exactly the same, nice and easy thanks

    Something "scratchy" is afoot...

    i go over that around 4:50 in the video above if that's of any help you place the gate after the amp/cab on the same line, and then change settings accordingly
  20. Paul Bradshaw

    Something "scratchy" is afoot...

    high gain will bring out more noise if it's in the signal chain, it's inevitable, some guitars are quieter than others and not all humbuckers are always that quiet with high gain applications I'd look at perhaps more aggressive side chain style gating after the amp/cab to see if that might help...

    Help! FM3 sounds dull vs Tonex or Amp w/Pedalboard

    I'd try building from scratch if possible , however with the WT Fender patch in mind: I tried out a WT free Rev preset this morning, the Tone Match IR bundled, was pretty dark sounding, it seemed as if there was a roll off at 5-6k and made things sound kinda boxy to be honest, which might have...

    How do I get closer to my real SLO?

    did you play around with speaker compliance / drive/compression/thump in the amp block ? if you've zero'd those out to try and better match the real amp through IRs, disregard =) having the loadbox curve in the fractal is a huge advantage if it's any help using a looper/split before the...

    Let’s talk pedal chain

    i like both options as well, sort of depends on the preset/amp setup and what day of the week 😄 edge of breakup or vox style tones can sound great with everything in front but I'd still usually put reverb after an amp otherwise I tend to prefer modulation before the amp and say self...

    Let's see those FM3 rigs!

    ah nice, i'm using a cioks SOL (only a few pedals on the board) the Temple IEC module is pretty pricey to be honest, but was with the board when i got it used i think that logo can be taken off as well, it was easiest for me in any case to cut one of the holes that's covered by the...
  25. Paul Bradshaw

    Let's see those FM3 rigs!

    very cool, do you use the IEC module with the temple board? you can use an IEC Y cable then underneath the board to hook up pedal power supply and the FM3 just need to cut one side on the board holes to fit the IEC cable through easily

    Black Metal Preset

    thanks 🙏 given how we use blocks in parallel / setting the bypass mode correctly after the amp and cab, it's probably less apparent in that scenario (although if you've set a block in parallel after the amp/cab in bypass mode to 'thru' you've probably heard the volume boost 😊 this translates...

    Is it possible to get this tone on FM3?

    ah thanks 🙏 ownhammer lowtuned live + snarl hardpanned / stereo a lot is in the hands /guitar as well, and chances are when tracking there's probably extra eq maybe compression as well using outboard gear what guitar/pickups are you using?

    Is it possible to get this tone on FM3?

    ok cool, i made a video on my latest main preset on my channel attached it below, that has some of those concepts in there already, might help doesn't have my custom IRs (ownhammer low tuned) but the factory cabs work fine
  31. Paul Bradshaw

    Is it possible to get this tone on FM3?

    i'm not at home, but i have a feeling it's more a case of getting your Low-Cut before the amp right and then the multi-band compressor the low cut before the amp is a big one on very low tuned guitars there's two ways of doing it , via a Filter block before the amp (which can also double as a...

    FM3 plus other multi-effect pedal

    another way is to use a Splitter after your guitar before the FM3 and your Zoom/Multi effect/combo amp I'd recommend the Lehle P-Split for this sort of stuff, high quality device, an A/B pedal would work otherwise, but might be noisy are you trying to compare the zoom into the combo , compared...

    Cabs - hi & low cuts?

    it's a great question, the hi and low cut is a general sort of EQ move that is also done a lot when EQing guitars for a mix , and a lot depends as well what other instruments are there, and what the general mix actually is a low cut of 60-80hz won't necessarily make your guitar sound thin, to...

    Anyone using your FM3 purely for FX for your actual amp? Pro's & con's?

    Leon covered a similar question in his latest Q&A (around the 1:15minute mark) thought i'd link it here in case I don't use it this way, but no reason why not, it is overkill, but would probably work a treat just be weary of using mono effects given the mono FX loop and setup/cable accordingly...

  70. Paul Bradshaw

    Wish VHT/Fryette d60 mk1 model alongside mk2

    Low Cut Frequency - Late to the party...

    Hi Steve, low cut before an amp definitely helps, but i think you might benefit and get more out of using a Multi Band Compressor block after the amp and cab to tame the low mids, it'll control that area nicely , without losing too much of that low end goodness going into the amp (i like to use...

    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00 beta 1

    so first band practice with the new update and running a stereo preset into stereo IEMs was awesome 🥳 I have no idea how they did it, but considerable CPU savings on my main preset (dropping 3-5% ) means more space for say adding a modulation block if i feel like, but it translates to being...

    Fryette d60 More - Firmware 7 vs Firmware 8 Beta

    thanks, I'm still experimenting, low cut adjustments /bass/depth make a nice difference, there's certainly more saturation/gain to the newer model the older one has this almost hollow/drier thing in the mids going on that i can't seem to replicate, i have a feeling it's the newer voicing of the...

    Fryette d60 More - Firmware 7 vs Firmware 8 Beta

    first band practice with the new amp model and stereo (Stereo IEMs are amazing, highly recommended =) was a success , sounds and feels great, things are certainly different however, there's more chunk in the lower mids and voicing, and the high end is less extended but very juicy if that makes...

    Wish VHT/Fryette d60 mk1 model alongside mk2

    Hello, figured i'd post this here, after updating the firmware on the FM3 which updates the d60 to mark II specs and various discussions i've had with fellow VHT/Fryette fans and axe users in the future is there perhaps a possibility to include the Mark I version of the amp that was replaced...

    Fryette d60 More - Firmware 7 vs Firmware 8 Beta

    thanks for the feedback, yeah on first glance , with the same settings the differences are considerable, and favours the clarity of the older version of the amp i'll definitely be tweaking things further in any case, and i'll do a follow up to this soon, i have a feeling i can use different...

    Fryette d60 More - Firmware 7 vs Firmware 8 Beta

    thanks 🙏 try the d60 less as well, i didn't get round to trying that yet, but i have a feeling with the changes and the amount of gain on tap, it might be really cool i'll check this in a follow up video at some point i think, just wanted to post this as firmware is still really fresh

    Fryette d60 More - Firmware 7 vs Firmware 8 Beta

    First off , huge hats off and thanks to FAS on the new firmware, unfortunately I've spent most of my time so far making this video :D but since upgrading to Firmware 8beta, CPU usage is down on my main presets, stuff feels snappier/more responsive, and the gapless update is absolutely huge ...

    very slick, you can probably just use a normal screw / washer bolt to hold the platform in otherwise, or even cable ties if you feel like it =)

    What cable to use for studio monitors?

    if you're interested this might be a good read: https://www.lewitt-audio.com/blog/what-is-xlr but in essence you're fine with XLR, I'd actually recommend it if you have the possibility to connect like that I'm using XLR cables between my audio interface and studio monitors, I'm also using...
