    footswitch, changing this behaviour

    In Scene 2 or a preset While in that scene I use footswitches to turn on a delay and also a pitch shift effect. I do NOT save I switch scenes then come back to scene 2. The delay and pitch are still on. I want them to be off as default when I go back to that scene. I'm assuming there is some...

    +4 or -10 still confused?

    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?

    changing scenes footswitch behaviour

    scene 1 is on footswitch 1 tap, scene 2 is on footswitch 1 hold, scene 3 is on footswitch 2 tap, scene 4 is on 2 with hold etc. If I go to scene 1 then scene 3 then tap on scene 3 again it will go to the last setting, in this case scene 1. Is this set behaviour or can it be modified to not do that?

    learning curve from Axe FX III to FM9?

    Current Axe FX III user plus FC12. Looking at getting the FM9 for live. 1. will I have much of a learning curve on the FM9? 2. will the smaller number of footswitches restrict much from your experience? 3. Will I notice downsides to the switch? Thanks!!

    FC 12 issue on just one preset

    Just one preset that I can see. One switch only does not light up and is not functional. It is clearly not the switch/FC 12 as same switch in other presets is working fine. The switch is correctly assigned I believe, exactly the same as in the presets where it is working fine. Any clues? Note...

    violin EQ

    Using Axe III for violin. Sometimes with just EQ and effects, sometimes with tubepre, sometimes tube amp such as princeton. When preset leveling I find that when the tone sounds right the level on high notes is low and gets lost in a band mix. When I tweak so the level stays in range it cuts...

    Axe III froze during performance

    Last night mid gig. Not sure if was the Axe III or the FC 12. Froze. No stepping on any footswitch worked. I should have tried to switch the preset on the front panel but instead I rebooted the Axe. That handled it but it was troubling. Anyone run across this? Would it be the Axe or the FC-12...
