    Beautiful! Nice tones and wonderful playing.

    External Controller startup issue

    I too have this issue except that I actually have two pedals set to auto-engage, one for wah and another for pitch. So when I boot up I get an octave high tone with a wah, which sounds terrible, until i change patches and back. It’s not the end of the world but it is somewhat irritating at times.

    AFIII Free Alternate Picking Masterclass

    Nice! I really like your tone, is that one of the Marshalls behind you? What is your signal chain? I like the chewy nature of your tone! Great technique!!

    FS Axe FX II XL and MFC-101 MK2 - $1075 for both with SKB case

    I’m selling my Axe Fx II and the accompanying MFC-101 MkII. The AxeFX is in excellent condition and the MFC is in good condition with some slight scuffs on the back. I’m including a SKB flight case, some stomp labels and the Ethernet cable to connect it all. Looking to get $1075 with buyer...

    SOLVED. FM9 Edit not connecting over USB

    I'm having the same issue and not sure what to do exactly. it's not showing up in the menu for the usb driver for some reason and definitely doesn't show up in FM9 edit. I installed the latest driver. EDIT: I figured it out after changing the USB cable it still didn't work initially. I had...

    Loving FM9 with FC6

    That looks so cool! Love how neat and tidy and colorful it is. What pedal board are you using with it? I might have to copy you :). Also, do you have some sort of way to transport it? It must be fairly big and heavy I would suppose.

    Waitlist confirmation was 8/28/2021 at 11:25 PM. Invitation email came 8/30/2022 at 3:25 PM EST. I think I was the last 8/28 day at least according to the unofficial tracker list which I did update. Thank you FAS for all your hard work! I’m super excited to get it!

    Looking for an external switch

    The Mosky switch works great with an FM3 so I’m sure it should also work perfectly with the FM9. You can hold or tap on them. I forget how many pedal/switch inputs the FM9 has though. I think we lose one from the FM3 setup?

    I’m on the waitlist at 11:25 pm on 8/28, so according to the other tracker we have, I’m the last for the day of 8/28. I’ll let everyone know when I get mine. I’m seeing it move pretty quickly now, so hopefully within the next week or sooner. 🤞

    Goodbye, Todd D. "bishop5150" Bishop

    Firmware Upgrades and CPU Creep

    I too had a preset that I liked that was at the limit but now doesn’t work. To me, it’s no big deal. In fact, the sound improvements of each update (especially the last), are worth it for me to drop a block that I don’t absolutely need. I’d much rather have a better tone and deal with the CPU...

    How to go from OMG9 back to FM3 3 button?

    This thread has an alternate layout that really allows you to have both layouts loaded so you only have to set your startup layout and you can bounce between FM3 alone or with the FC6. I think it works really well. Here...

    The Madness that is Black Napkins

    I think it’s been mentioned before but the C# minor pentatonic will give you the sound for both chords. A pentatonic bluesy sound over the C# and a Lydian sound over the DMaj7, so just hang on the C# minor pentatonic for the most part. Of course you can emphasize chord tones over each chord...

    FM3 Firmware Version 5.02

    Whatever you did Cliff & Co, you are amazing!! This is the best my FM3 ever sounded! There must have been a noticeable problem with the “turns” issue or something because that brittle high end is gone and it feels like a real amp now. Fantastic!

    FM3 Firmware Version 5.02 beta 1

    I’m a risk-taker and loaded it up and used it at my gig last night. It worked great and sounded great though I did notice that 2 of my presets that were right on the brink of using too much CPU, they don’t work anymore due to the cpu hit, but I’d rather have the better sounds and work around...

    Mad respect to Zack! That is so beautiful of him. I hope you get better soon brother! The FC6 I bought from you is being used a lot but certainly misses your sweet riffs :).

    My blocks and presets

    Simeon, you have always been one of my favorite producers of patches. I loved your Metheny GR synth patch for the Axe FX II. Have you made a similar one that would be usable on the FM3 by any chance? You do an amazing job on all of your blocks and presets!

    How to reduce pick attack?

    I would have to agree with a lot of what you are saying. I would like to have the option to have n ADSR type control available to do the last of the tweaks necessary. My Axe II was really harsh in the pick attack and that’s why I stopped using it. Cygnus is much better IMO but it would be...

    Looper

    Make sure none of the buttons used to close the loop have a “hold” function assigned. It completely messes up the loop. You might also want to check to see if “auto-quantize” is set to be on. I turn it off.

    Thinking to buy FM3 but..

    For what it’s worth, I had both but sold the Helix. I ABSOLUTELY loved the interface and extra buttons of the Helix for usability, but it always comes down to sound for me. This is a no-brainer, I LOVE the tones I’m getting from my FM3 even though the trade off of less buttons and ease-of-use...

    Vocal mic for home studio 2021

    I think you can’t go wrong with the SM7B for that type of voice, it handles volume, great on males with high voices as its a warmer mic. It’s often found in male podcasters as well because of it’s depth. Michael has a really high voice so it was probably a good offset for that. I don’t have...

    Vocal mic for home studio 2021

    Michael Jackson and Metallica used a Shure SM7B in the studio. It’s a great warm dynamic mic that’s not very expensive at all. Another very cheap large diaphragm condenser that fairs well is a Rode NT1-a. Have you tried the Warm Audio WA-47? Some of the lower end Neumann’s are great for...

    This kid is just so talented-Kent Nishimura

    Well, it will be interesting to hear what he has to say about it. I don’t think it takes anything away from his talent as he literally played 99% without the looper, but that section is clear to me that he is not playing the rhythm while playing that solo. If you also look at that section from...

    This kid is just so talented-Kent Nishimura

    Watch the section from 3:48 to 4:00 is what I’m referring to, watch carefully right where the video crossfades, he’s playing a solo, watch his thumb. The bass notes of the chords are covered by his thumb reaching over the top all the way through the song up to that point, but it is not doing so...

    Practical questions Helix to FM3

    That’s why I bought an FC6 :). It does make it much easier but at the same time, it’s more to carry and takes up more room (although not more than the other options). I honestly feel the 3 buttons are enough for a lot of cases because if you use it in the OMG9 setup, you have to tap on a...

    FM9 wish- amp feedback

    I can also vouch for the Frequout pedal. In my opinion having some sense of feedback is absolutely necessary for me as I run full IEM silent stage all the time. I love that pedal!

    Practical questions Helix to FM3

    For scene changes on the FM3 alone, I prefer to set it up so each button toggles two scenes (ie button 1 toggles scene 1 and 2, the second button toggles scene 3 and 4, etc). Then you have quick access to the first 6 scenes. You could press and hold the 3 button for the other 2 scenes. Press...
