    Custom Guitar Cabinet Ideas

    Hey there everyone, I'm in the process of a custom build at the moment, and I was really trying to brainstorm on some super unique ideas to make my build stand out, but still be very functional as any other cab would be. The only things I can land on are really a custom grill cloth, or some...

    FM3 Repair

    I also have been a devoted customer, and fan since over a decade, and reading all this and knowing I'm walking into a $500 bill, along with a 3 week wait time when I was told "repairs are usually a quick turnaround" is really starting to make my blood boil. I cannot believe Fractal is having...

    FM3 Repair

    I'm literally dealing with this issue now, I will have to send in my unit, and it's the second time it's happened to me, but on a different unit. If this is as common as it seems, the price to have is fixed is fairly fucking ridiculous and I think if it's as common an issue as it is, there...

    SYN50 MIDI

    Welp, I actually ended up figuring it out. For those in the future who potentially run into issues. It seems that upon changing dip switch settings on the Syn50, it helped to reset the FM3, and SYN50 itself, as well as re-plug the MIDI Cable on both ends (just to be super sure). Once that was...

    Hey there everyone. I'm currently using the FM3 with a victory Super Kraken with the four cable method technically five.

    Interesting issue.

    So... I just found out that my wireless pack was giving out +18dB in my 4CM setup. Once discovered, it had greatly affected the tone as I'm sure you're all aware that it would. That being said, I was wondering what was be the best possible substitution for that, that I could either add to my...

    Pitch Block issues

    I'm wondering if this is either an FM3 issue or an expression pedal issue, but when downshifting with my pedal, and going all the way down an octave, it sounds like there's a small hiccup before it reaches the lower octave, like a subtle pause in the shift downward, but this doesn't happen when...

    Protectors aren't for products, they're for people who are honest with themselves. If you're a clumsy moron like I am, buy one. If you know you're careful, and rarely break shit, then don't. Either way, there's no wrong answer.

    Signal chain question.

    Interesting, never thought about that, and I don't see why it wouldn't work. Thanks for the heads up. I'll give this a shot.
  34. S

    Signal chain question.

    Correct, they have 2 Master Volumes, but the issue is that my main Rhythm and Clean are tied to the same Master Volume. My Master 2 is saved for my lead and is @ a higher volume intentionally.

    Unfortunately in this case they're on the same Master Volume. So they're technically at the same level.

    Drop Tune FX (like Digitech)

    I currently down shift with my pedal, you can set it up for either a down tune via scene change, preset switch, or Expression pedal, it all works. When it comes to the Expression Pedal, I personally use the "Classic Whammy" and just set it to my Exp Pedal via the control knob.

    A bit of an issue...

    Regardless, worst case scenario, since I only use one Expression pedal, I could just plug into the second slot and ignore the first for the time being I assume? Would I run into any issues otherwise with the unit possibly still detecting Pedal 1 as in use because it's stuck in there?

    How are you connecting your FM3 to your audio interface?

    So I used to go direct USB with my Axe2, and re-amp that way. But with my FM3, I have to use my MOTU due to the FM3 having input when going direct. That being said.

    Recording with FM3 into interface

    Thank you, this makes more sense. Oddly enough I remember playing around with "Low Latency Monitoring" within my ProTools, yet I also remember it not turning off the monitoring through the DAW itself. Which I guess would be a ProTools issue @ that point.
