    Bug? no output on fm9

    Yes, it happens to me occasionally but nothing to do with selecting the tuner in my case: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fm9-intermittently-has-no-output-signal-on-power-up-since-fw6-update.201984/

    That brings the voltage down, you will need the Joyo to get rid of the noise.

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00

    I was playing one of the factory presets last night with the AC30TB. Just at home volume, but I didn't notice it being down in gain or volume, but then it's not my go to patch so hard to say really. I would have thought a bit of tweaking would get it back where you want it?

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00

    My main patch is based on the JCM800 #34. I noticed after the update it was kind of quiet and lacking gain. I tweaked it at home which is normally a big no no for me as doing this pretty much never translates to gig volume playing. I took the FM9 to rehearsal and it just sounded great. Lots of...

    FM3 ..... USB 2 Type B Port on the back of the FM3 ......No Power Provided ** UPDATED **

    It depends; I am powering a Boss WL-60 wireless receiver. Without isolation, (I am using a Gig Rig Virtual battery, same kind of thing as the Joyo Noise Blocker), I get a high pitched 'whistle'.

    Anyone else have the default input gain on their FM9 be way too high?

    Interesting. I now have to fess up that I just checked what mine is set at and it's around 50%! I was sure I had reduced it way down to avoid the clip warning coming on, but evidently not.

    Anyone else have the default input gain on their FM9 be way too high?

    I think the question people have is if it is necessary to set this to 8% then under what circumstances would you need to set it to say 75%? It seems a bit odd. I have mine set very low and I only use single coils and PAF type humbuckers so wonder what I would do if I had super hot pickups; it...

    SOLVED! EV-2 pedal polarity reversed?

    Hi Rex, I don't think that that is true; I have used Boss pedals with AXFXII, AX8 and currently have one attached to my FM9 and they all worked fine with a standard cable.

    FM9 Dyna Cab Beta coming....Soon!

    +1 I have come from the AXFXII and AX8, on which I always ended up using the Friedmans, but on the FM3 / 9, my default amp is the Brit 800 (my main preset uses the #34) and it's indeed spectacular, works great in a band mix.

    How to change volume level in the same amp but in two different scenes

    How to change volume level in the same amp but in two different scenes

    That's what I do, just wish there was a current scene volume control, (I think this was there on the AX8), to avoid having up to 8 slots on the performance page used up. Pretty sure this is in the 'wish' thread somewhere btw.

    Using EV-1 as global volume pedal and setting range limits…

    It won't act as a boost, it will only make your preset quieter as you operate the pedal i.e. it will work as you want it to - if your preset is at max 0dB then the pedal will make the preset go between silent and 0dB

    You shouldn't share presets you have bought.

I would also try sending the output...

    How do you disable OMG9 (to use the FM3 without FC6)?

    I put a wish in for a way to have two user defined sets of layouts stored on the FM3 for just this scenario. @Admin M@ said they would look at it but it wouldn't be a priority and it depends on how much memory is available.

    FW 5 Amps seem *way* brighter than FW 3 or FW 4 ..... anyone else "hearing" this ?

    What is you FM3 “backup” for live shows

    I don't have one. Well I actually still have an AX8 so could use that, but thinking the Fly Rig 5 V2 looks like a good backup; simple and easy to carry. I suppose my FM3 could become a backup if I decide to get an FM9 when they become available.
