    Fender FR-12 compared to PXM-12. My experience so far.

    totally agree with this....some people are just more sensitive to noise....in my case the noise is significantly quieter than my tinitus so im good. Joking aside, the noise is well below what would make a difference on any stage....

    FM9 with Backline?

    Further to above….make sure their amp is not turned on and replace the speaker jack when you’re done or it will damage it. I made sure the back lines power plug was never plugged in to be safe!

    FM9 with Backline?

    What I did in this exact situation was use my FM9 with a Seymour Duncan power stage and then disconnect the speaker on the amp and connect it to the powerstage. It meant that I bypassed the amplification on whatever amp was there and just used the speaker. I was just using the amps for stage...

    Wish preserve output level Revised...Tweak button

    so thinking about everyones comments, here is my updated thought process. A button when held would preserve output db level when editing any parameter in the ideal page of the amp block by 10% either way. This is based on my own tweaking live and in rehearsal, and yes I am aware that there is...
  43. F

    Wish preserve output level Revised...Tweak button

    Ok, of course you dont have to use it, and a compressor would have an effect on the sound, so that’s a different thing. If no one else thinks this would be a useful feature then the wish should deservedly be ignored. I’m sure fractal are working on plenty of other good stuff for us all.
  44. F

    Wish preserve output level Revised...Tweak button

    Thinking about this question a bit more, perhaps it would make sense to restrict the ‘tweaks’ to a percentage of any parameter…say 15%?
  45. F

    Wish preserve output level Revised...Tweak button

    What ever the user decides.....thats not meant to denote an absolute range of changes. I think that if you used the function and then made a change which caused the scene output level to go to maximum or minimum then the unit would either clip or go silent. As with all of fractal gainstaging...

    Wish preserve output level Revised...Tweak button

    Not sure if I quite understand what you mean? If you increased the drive and master volumes from 1 to 10 how would that make the scene level reach its lowest setting? apologies if Im not thinking it through correctly. Also what I am imagining is a function that would be used for fine tuning...
  47. F

    Wish preserve output level Revised...Tweak button

    Excellent questions. I assume that an output level would change....thinking about it perhaps the scene output level would be most appropriate. I would also think that the new level would persist until you changed to a new preset, unless of course you saved the preset. In which case the new...

    Wish preserve output level Revised...Tweak button

    Totally agree with your points, as I said in my OP there is a lot more to perceived volume than dB. However don't agree with nothing gained. Here's how I would see it working. In the ideal page of the amp block, or possibly in the output page there is a switch to preserve output db level...
  49. F

    Wish preserve output level Revised...Tweak button

    I am sure that you are right in terms of amp modelling….I am thinking more in terms of simply ensuring that the output of the block remains at the same DB or signal level….and I absolutely agree that nothing should compromise the accuracy of the fractal amp modelling, which I love.

    This is a wish for all units...i own the fm3 and have a fm9 arriving as soon as it gets out of customs in the UK. Often when working on a sound for live shows or in rehearsals on the unit , away from my studio, I will tweak the gain or an eq setting in the amp block. Imagine if in the ideal...

    Did that….makes no sense to me, not sure what this means ‘This allows turning Scene Ignore to OFF on one or more channels which will then allow a scene change to set the block to a desired state if the block is on that channel.’ That seems to say if you turn it ‘off’ scenes work as normal. What...
