    FS Mint X-Load

    Barely used (because I bought it just before I sold my last amp, thinking I'd buy another...instead I bought an FM9). Nary a scratch. Never gigged, never out of my smoke-free Room of Rock. Sadly I didn't keep the original packaging (no place to keep such things). $250 plus free shipping in CONUS.

    FM3-Edit Preset list inaccurate; block problem?

    I'm on current FM3 FW and FM3-Edit version. When I open FM3-Edit I get this message: The preset name in the field is the same as on the unit ("Take Me with You", in this case): But when I open the preset list it's entirely inaccurate: The block.library.log file contains a very long list...

    Ridiculous(ly good) service

    Before I scrubbed in to do a case this morning I checked: my FM9 was out for delivery to be serviced. When I just got back to my desk I had 2 emails from FAS: the first, that my device had been received by their service department, and the second (an hour later) that it had been repaired and...

    Seeking a simple method for iPhone video recording using audio from Axe-FX III

    Back in 2015 (which might be the last time I created a video) @Mark Day posted a method for recording video content directly into the iPhone using the Tascam iXJ2. I used it successfully then but now find that the unit is no longer supported (the TASCAM app used for it is defunct) and in any...

    Looking for best online guitar instruction to improve technique

    [Solved] All 3 Footswitches Read "59 Bassguy" After FW Update

    Turning the Value knob changes presets as expected, and FM-3 Edit shows full preset list as expected, but with the Preset Layout active all 3 footswitch windows show 59 Bassguy, no matter what preset I'm on, and regardless of whether I bank up (by holding FS3) or down (by holding FS1).

    So How Do YOU Filter by Color?

    Okay this post is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, I'll admit. After all, grouping amps by color is, in the end, arbitrary.
