    fluctuating output volume levels on my FM9

    OMG! turns out it is nothing to do with my FM9 I use a violin pickup which uses a 10 volt phantom power belt pack. This has a volume nob on it that I had fixed so it would not move. The fix on the volume nob unknown to me had undone and the volume fluctuations were due to the volume nob moving...

    fluctuating output volume levels on my FM9

    FM9 My output levels seem to change without changing the preset. I have a preset set to where highest volume just goes into the red on output meters Suddenly it drops to almost nothing. rebooted, seemed to come back in volume part way. Changed cable from instrument to input 1, seemed to make...

    strange volume increase from one scene to another but they are exactly the same .... solved

    SOLVED A muted delay was a different delay channel from scene 1 to scene 2. In scene 2 the delay got set to 65% mix where in scene 1 tit was at 100% mix. Both delay channels set to mute fx in and using input gain to set the amount of delay desired. So by reducing the "mix" from 100% with mute...

    FM9 with resound MF10s. At +4 it is way loud. I also go to FOH at some gigs from the MF9. Am I better off at -10? I know +4 is for pro equipment. Do the Redsound MF10s count as pro? What about FOH? Or is this for recording with pro converters etc?

    Carr Roamer pentode to triode?

    On the actual amp, which I have the shift to triode at least on violin gives a smoother, fatter [or just less highs it seems], tone with less impact, less overdriven I guess or less tube might put it better. But I'll play with the suggestions see what happens. I suspect it is modelled on pentode

    Axe III froze during performance

    It came back 100% with rebooting the Axe III, so I don't think it was the cable, however I had to change from my usual XLR and string two XLRs together for this performance due to slightly longer distance from Axe to FC. Maybe it didn't like that.
