    Replace Pitch Block Dual Detune when I need to use the Virtual Capo

    Thanks @Admin M@ and @steadystate trying it now. Having the Chorus set at about 10% Mix really works like the 25% for the Pitch Block - and 50% gives you that lovely 80's Chorus tone thanks very much guys.

    Replace Pitch Block Dual Detune when I need to use the Virtual Capo

    This is one of my favourite presets - making heavy use of the Dumble ODS family to get Clean, EOB, Crunch Rhythm and Lead Tones with limited resources applied. I love the sound of the Dual Detune to thicken up the sound and then I just push it up to 50% Mix to get a beautiful chorus sound for my...

    PRS McCarty String Buzz acoustically but can't hear it all when playing through FM9.

    Buzz just in the middle of the neck I could understand saying neck relief but buzz in the middle on the D string and at the neck end on the G/B strings sounds more like high / low frets or combined neck and nut problems - but I always thought the PLEK would diagnose those and it didn't flag...

    PRS McCarty String Buzz acoustically but can't hear it all when playing through FM9.

    Thanks guys, Peavey I don't know about you but I kind of want to have my set up correct so that frets are not worn down or the strings break in the middle of the first solo so when there are issues like this I like to get them fixed. Perhaps that's me being a bit OCD but...

    PRS McCarty String Buzz acoustically but can't hear it all when playing through FM9.

    So this is starting to drive me crazy - auditioned this guitar for hours and had not issues with it. Get it home and playing it acoustically on the sofa there is noticeable string buzz on D strings (around fret 9) and G and B strings (around fret 2/3) - but it's not always there. And I could not...

    Not a Bug Can't select all drives - Angry Chuck, Jam Ray, Klone Chiron not available. FW V10.00 V2

    Hi guys, just noticed this today when trying to update a preset in V10.00 Beta - I had built this preset with the Angry Chuck Drive pedal but was now showing as the Maxoff 808. When I tried to select the Angry Chuck it defaults to the 77 Custom OD. The update I wanted to add was to add the Jam...

    FM9 Firmware Version 10.0 public beta 2

    Just wanted to update one of my go to presets - I had built it in this new Beta firmware with the Angry Chuck pedal - now it's showing as the Maxoff 808 and when I try to select the Angry Chuck it defaults to the 77 Custom OD just below it. I can't select that, I can't select the pedals I wanted...

    New Factory Presets

    Wow, @Greg Ferguson and @Adman103 you were right. That Scholz cab sounds amazing. I run it on the FM9 with a Dynamic 1 and ribbon mics, and a high cut set to 4K in the preamp, and it just works. I've tried it with cleans, at the edge of breakup, 80's rhythm tones, and hair metal leads, and it...

    Yeah, I figured out it was in one of the new packs you had to buy - more than enough stuff in the factory presets to keep me going at the moment.

    Per preset effects - can they be toggled off when switching out of the scene you turned them on in?

    Hi all, I don't think so, but in case I haven't buried my head into the manual far enough, I'm trying to set up a live Preset using Per Preset to have Scenes and Effects available to me. So I may kick on a Chorus for my Clean scene and then jump to a higher-gain Rhythm scene, but when I want to...

    Maybe I'm just not a Marshall guy

    As @elvis said the standard cabs are super good for a starting tone - don't pass on the great work the Fractal team have done to put all these in the box for us.

    Maybe I'm just not a Marshall guy

    I finally jumped from a Helix to the FM9 for exactly this—the amazing-sounding Marshalls. I love the Brit 800 models, the Brit JVMs, and the 1959 SLPs. What blew me away once I got the FM9 was how good the other clones were as well—the Solo (Soldano) models are amazing, and the Spawn (Splawn)...

    FM9 Firmware Version 8.00 public beta 2

    I just tried to kick on my tuner after updating to Beta 2 and the hold function for Button 6 doesn't work any more. I reset the switch and still doesn't work - it does for all my others where I use this but not for my tuner. Has anyone else had this issue with Beta 2? Edit that the whole switch...

    Presets Fremen FM9 presets masterthread

    Hey @fremen I just picked up your Pink Floyd pack it sounds amazing thank you. One question though, there are 4 scenes for the Wish You Were Here preset; I have a PRS Piezo as well - but the Excel file only lists 3, and suggests that Scene 1 should be Radio Lo-Fi tone for the intro acoustic.

    Old Axe Change Presets - Any way to get into new firmware?

    Thanks, @elvis but after a bit more Google searching, I found @fremen had a full suite of Pink Floyd presets already for the FM9 so, I jumped into those and wow! I have enough 99% perfect tones to do a whole show.

    Old Axe Change Presets - Any way to get into new firmware?

    Hi guys - I've been dusting off some of my old vinyl albums of late and loving reliving my youth with Pink Floyd. One of my favourite albums is The Division Bell and Coming Back to Life, one of my favourite songs and tones that David Gilmour managed to produce. @Cooper Carter has been demoing...

    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...

    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...

    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...

But thanks to the fabulous array...

    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.

    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.

    Low vs High Output Pickups
