    Loss of volume and tone was destroyed!

    I’d be interested to see how your preset sounds. It could be that maybe you don’t have enough mids in your tone. If you get a chance, definitely try a different preset to experiment with how that cuts through.

    Bar graph representing diff between axeiii, fm9, fm3?

    I have the AFX3 and have used it for years, probably about a year ago I got the FM9 as well. Since then I have hardly had any need for the AFX3 other than to be my Logic interface (just because it is rack mounted) and my FM9 stays on the floor for jamming and taking to live shows. At the end of...

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (1)

    Remember this is a Beta release, so if you are using it live then you are taking that risk on yourself. Might be worth rolling back for live use if this is constantly happening, and also sharing the preset you were using when it crashed.

    Running this on my FM9T and it is working beautifully with Gapless and Spillover enabled! Interestingly my CPU was clocking 86% but it was still working perfectly, but as a precaution I removed a couple of blocks I didn't really need anymore so it is on 78% now.

    Cab-Lab 4 DynaCab mute function problem

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 24.03 Release

    I played live recently with another guitarist who had his brand new UA Dream 65 with a Nobels ODR-1. He was raving about his sounds he was getting at home, and he has this annoying habit of ending any conversation when I mention my Fractal gear. Suffice to say, when we did our soundcheck the...

    Santa showed up early ;)

    Yep I see, you will find it so easy to setup and use. What I meant was expression pedals, like these guys: https://www.fractalaudio.com/p-ev1-expression-pedal-volume-pedal/ That is, if you use a wah, or other swells etc.

    Praise and Worship presets ?

    These are really well made btw! Most of them are empty presets (when I import them into my Axe3, will try my FM9 later), but the ones that are working sound so good! I'm loving the balance you got between the Matchless and AC30 amps!

    250$ for Metallica Black Album Preset

    The risk is, if you shell out $250 big ones for a preset of a tone that someone else has made, it more than likely won't sound at all the same on your guitar & fingers. I mean, it could sound great on the preset creator's guitar and setup, but the exact same preset could sound awful on your...

    Best way to record videos to phone

    I've been using OBS on my computer, I have my Axe-FX hooked up via USB to record the audio directly, and I use either an external camera (GoPro/DSLR) or my WebCam (for lower video quality if I don't really care) as a capture device in OBS. It is great because I'm recording the best audio quality...

    Low Friction Volume Pot Advice Needed

    I bought a Bourns for my 500k volume pot replacement and it is very low friction. It might be a bit too low, because I sometimes accidentally nudge it when adjusting my tone knob but it does the job nicely.

    Do you think Metallica is using Dyna-cab live?

    I absolutely love their live tones much more now than when I saw them prior to Fractal days. That video is awesome, the tones are incredible. All my opinion of course (and literally all my non-guitarist friends who are fans too)! But seriously doubt they would use Dynacab if they have the...

    FM9 - Volume pedal - use the block at the beginning of the grid, in the middle, or at the end?

    For me the middle is best. I place the volume block directly after the cab but before my delays/reverbs, because then I can lower the volume and let the delays/reverbs naturally decay rather than cut immediately out. I use my guitar's volume knob to control how hard I am hitting the amp, so I...

    Advice for a cruise ship musician using FX III?

    My first instinct is, simplify the setup by using an FM9. If you are setting up daily in 3 venues then having fewer components is going to save you time and also risk of faulty cables etc. I have been using my Axe3 since it came out, and last year got the FM9, it has been a huge blessing in...

    Bonamassa Rig Rundown

    When you look at the range of amps behind him, I really don't think a single FM3 will mimic his sound - unless you had 2 or 3 FM3s!

    Existing GT22 users - FM9 Turbo thoughts please

    Thanks for the advice, it is always appreciated. I’m definitely not using the full potential of the GT/22 when playing live, and at home I pretty much use it just for the AxeIII. I’m leaning more towards the FM9, but having trouble convincing myself to sell the GT/22. I guess I need to go back...

    Existing GT22 users - FM9 Turbo thoughts please

    Agreed, I can't ask anyone to tell me if it will work for me, I'm more interested if users who own both (or owned both) found that moving from the GT/22 to the FM9 was an easy or difficult decision to make.
  87. chucma

    Existing GT22 users - FM9 Turbo thoughts please

    Sorry Ian, I didn't word it very well. I was meaning that I would use the FM9 without the GT/22. So the FM9 would be a replacement for the complete AxeIII & GT/22 rig. Having never used an FC Controller or FM9 I'm keen to get opinions from the likes of yourself and other users who have. Thanks...

I am 'considering' getting the FM9 Turbo, keeping...
