    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00

    Finally had time to update the F.W and test run it in our band rehearsal, Gapless Switching...ahhh what a treat :-) It totally free me overthinking of timing, when should I press the next scene/preset/etc... now just hit that next button and that's it. Thanks FAS, this update is so important...

    Your experience with Ampero II Stage?

    Hi. The Ampero II Stage looks like a VERY cool little floor unit which could be use as a backup / small gigs. Giving it a quick look, it has few goodies like B.T connection for Android and IOS based smartphones + the app and also for a PC, not to mentioned the touch screen. It is loaded nicely...

    Running stereo live

    I'm running stereo with Fractal since day 1 (more than 10 years). It used to be in the beginning, 2 real cabs on stage but then I switched to full direct to the mix so sometimes it’s a mix of 2 amps and sometimes mix of 2 cabs but the idea is always panning hard L+R and a pitch block imitating...

    Using pitch block to step down e flat on all presets

    Simply SAVE your preset when the pitch block is turned ON, that's it. BUT................ if you're playing Eb consistently, why not just heaving a guitar tuned for that? My band play all songs Eb, I simply keep 2 guitars (main + backup) tuned to Eb and that's it. Obviously i would have used...
