    Using FM3 with Boss SY1

    Hello! Q1: depends whether you have your main tone stereo or mono. If its mono, then you could send Out 1 left to FOH,Out1 right to FRFR and use out2 / in 2 for the SY1. Or: hook up the SY1 before the main input 1?

    Affordable Monitor for FM3?

    I had an Alto TX310 for a while, but I didn’t like it. Now they have a TS410 on the market (at least here in Europe), that’s a higher standard. I returned the TX310 and got a MF Elis/8 from g66. More expensive than what you want to spend, but an excellent speaker.

    Using an external amp and amp block together

    I never thought of this, but I’d guess that you would put out2 and in2 block in parallel with the amp block and feed the in2 block into the cab block. Somewhat similar to the 4cm in the manual on page 38. But I don’t have any experience with this.

    Mic'd amp into FM3?

    Might work, but why not use a clean amp model in the FM3 itself? You can put the amp/cab on the grid before the stereo effect, record directly both the dry and the amped signal via USB. Reamp if you want… But maybe you want your specific clean amp sound?

    Do you use reverb on stage?

    Bit of reverb to wetten up, or some 5% analog delay. For leads I up the analog to 20% mix and for a huge chimey new wave post punk sound switch over to the memory man style with a dash of slow modulation for nice swirliness. On the AC15 model with a micro boost for extra bite.

    Very true. I am trying to integrate my FM3 with Roland MC707 groovebox and now also a Boss SY-200. In one preset, the expression pedal can do wah or delay level in the FM3 and in another some filter in the 707 or the SY. Cool huh?
