    Need Advice: FM3 to FM9

    Good luck with it @sfla99 - I moved to Fractal Land after being a long-time user of a Line 6 Helix floor model, so I didn't think the FM3 would be a good fit for me. That may have been true or not, but I don't regret picking up the FM9 Turbo for one second. Now I'm able to dial in exactly the...

    With every update, I need to simplify my presets

    Likewise had a few updates on my FM9 Turbo which were pushed almost to the limit before and still work fine now even with Cygnus 3 software

    Virtual Capo FM9 vs FM3

    Zack Seif has more on the Pitch Block if you haven't seen it (spoiler, it's not good for Fractal).

    Virtual Capo FM9 vs FM3

    I've not tried an FM3 but have found the VC in the FM9 Turbo sometimes glitches - I've read about this online also and find that the Dual Chromatic Pitch shifter works better than the Capo in the Pitch Block. Give that a try before you upgrade if that's the only reason you want the FM3's big...

    Reverb 1 Not Responding to Scene Controls

    Hi Michael, Noles I'm on the same version as you and before I did the switch on scene ignore and switch it off again it was by passed on the FM9 screen as well and no reverb when playing. Now it's fixed I can't seem to create the same error again - I did save my old presets before updating to...

    Reverb 1 Not Responding to Scene Controls

    Well, I didn't have Scene Ignore on in that block, but clicking it on and then clicking it off again fixed the problem so thanks for flagging that as a possible issue.

    Reverb 1 Not Responding to Scene Controls

    I've been updating a few of my presets since we got Cygnus-3 and I love the Brit 800 80's tones now even more. I just tweaked a preset I have had for a few months now, and I never had an issue with this before but for some reason, my Reverb block at the end of the chain isn't behaving. As you...

    Dialing in “your” unique sound?

    Following on from @strabes comment about how he finds the Fractal products much better in keeping those classic amps alive which have lived in the Fractalverse for some time: The reason I switched from a Helix to the FM9 was that I found I was buying more and more presets and IR's to try and...

    John Cordy presets

    John Cordy is a real inspiration to me with his legato and improv playing. His YouTube channel should be as big as Rick Beato's. @guitarplayer1969 is right - you don't need his Patreon to get his presets, you purchase them from a Gumroad link (find it on his YT Channel). As a long-time Line 6...

    2nd Pitch Block

    It's a common request - but I don't think we're up for another one yet. Just my thoughts though I'm no Fractal insider - if you need a block in the front of your preset (tuning down to Eb or D, or a Whammy pedal) and you also want to make use of the detune or harmony capabilities you should...

    Looking to purchase the best Dual/Triple Rectifier Model preset packs

    As a former Helix user, I used to buy preset packs - often with Custom IR's from hard-to-find amps in the Helix world. One of my favourites was from a Marshall JMP1 which gave me the Slash / Gary Moore / 80's rock tones I couldn't find in the Helix. Switching to the FM9 last year - and...

    FM9 - My First 60 Days

    I've had mine just over two months and sure, I can't make it do backflips or click my fingers to get the best clean, synth, talk-box preset with a Wah, Volume and Whammy pedal all running off Extension 1 without checking out some other presets or YouTube videos. But thanks to the fabulous array...

    FM9 + FC6 = Win!

    I'm pretty sure he meant the FM3 and FC12 - 3+9 doesn't equal 15 anyway ;)

    No global blocks on FM9 deal breaker for Axe III user

    Sorry guys and girls but I don’t see what the problem is. If you want the big boy features then buy the big boy toys. The FM9 is amazing - no it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles (and extra Pitch blocks) that the III does but I can fit my FM9 rig in a backpack no bigger than my kids use...

    Recommendations for FM9 live speaker/amp.

    The new Fender Tonemaster FR speakers are getting a lot of love with modellers like the FM9, FM3, Helix etc.

    Wish Global preset Pitch

    I guess this is just another flavour of "Can we have two Pitch Blocks on the FM9 please?" As explained in another thread this is probably because the FM9 doesn't have the power of its big brother to support that - either in another block format or as a global setting.

    New preset I built maxes out FM9 non-Turbo capability - and it's a doozy....

    Hi Joe a friendly request if you don't mind - please don't put a link to a preset that automatically downloads the file without asking - I assumed it would take us to Axe-Exchange; not pull an unknown file onto my PC.

    FC layout select by MIDI ?

    I think we got that part - what FC layout changes do you want to make with MIDI - there might be other / better ways to do it. I do think that was the point elvis was making.

    Favorite amps for Strats?

    Favourite amp for Strats for what? Blues trio, 80's Pop gig, 80's Hair Metal gig, 90's Grunge gig... The list goes on, as do the list of amps that work with a Strat-type guitar.

    Low vs High Output Pickups

    Sorry if this comes across as argumentative, but if you're talking about live presets don't you dial them for the guitar you would use to play the song? I have three main guitars - a custom-made 57 Strat with low-output pickups, a PRS Holowbody 2 with Piezo I use when I need super clean or...

    No global blocks on FM9 deal breaker for Axe III user

    I understand the FM9 is quite a bit larger than the FM3 but why could you not throw your favourite drive or comp into that as well - and have all the benefits of more power and more switches?

    Alternates to Pitch Block for Dual Detune / Mimic

    Thanks all for your input and insight - I tried to get this effect with the Plex delay but it never sounded as solid as a double-tracked guitar. For now I just want something that sounds good as I practice - it's been a long time since I had to worry about FOH but having a few different ideas...

    Alternates to Pitch Block for Dual Detune / Mimic

    Fractal FM9 new user here - so apologies if this question has been asked and answered before, but I would love to have the pitch block pre-amp for capo and Whammy effects but also want the Dual Detune effect after the amp to thicken my tone like the Mimic pedal. I love Moak's Moving Pitch Block...

    FX8 Update

    Complete noob here to high end effects like this, but now getting much more serious about my live sound and so checking out what's available. Can I ask the rookie question of the year - does TRS relay switching mean you can control the channels / effects on your amp as well as the ones in the...
