    Does the tuner work if I’m just using the FM3 for effects?

    drilling dow to more basic reasons why you can't find the tuner - check to see what mode your foot buttons are in. Scene, preset, bank, etc. I can't tell you exactly what to do because I've been on and OMG profile since forever. Couldn't tell you what to do with a base 3 button situation. Hell...

    D-Tuna....yay or nah?

    The issue I see with it mostly is that the Tuna doesn’t slide very well underneath the micro tuner, because the tuner has kind of a rough end. The end of the micro tuner needs to be rounded off to prevent friction. After a while I would see a nice gouge mark in the top of the D tuna cylinder...

    Guitars in Moving truck?

    Hey I grew up on Long Island, and every time I go back to see family I wish I could win the lottery just to move them all somewhere else (I'm thinking OBX) just so I don't have to go back there ever again. Completely fkd in every possible way.

    Guitars in Moving truck?

    Have them pack the guitar cases upright in wardrobe boxes with a bunch of packing paper down the sides. I moved 20 guitars and basses several times like this with no issue. 4 cases to a box usually. Taller ones got two wardrobe boxes sleeved together.

    Make dynacabs default in presets

    Just a little point-and-click grind, no big deal. Besides, a shotgun approach like batch converting all presets could have some unintended and deleterious consequences that might double or triple the effort (or worse) to un-break all the presets that no longer have sound.

    an FM3 w/room to go please.

    I don't understand what you mean by this. In a preset, all the blocks are there, and that doesn't change by scene and channel, but the CPU% doesn't really change whether they're active or not. You can probably step back from ultra-res cabs, reverb, etc. and not be missing much if you're using...
  52. USMC_Trev

    an FM3 w/room to go please.

    It really seems like you're working harder rather than smarter. Think about using global blocks and presets/scenes/channels to get more efficiency out of a preset. Recall also that with spillover en, you can change presets during a song without too much interruption.
