    Love hearing from all you vets on here. That Gulfstream is amazing - what a great job you have! I was at Area 52 with the 4450th Tactical Group when we had the first operational F117s. Those and the redhats made it the most interesting assignment of my career. I haven't kept most of the...

    FM9 in a Furman SPB-8C?

    Depends on how many additional devices/pedals you need to put on there. I had my FM-3, two EV-1s and a wireless receiver on mine (picture below), but had to go to a larger Templeboard when I added the FC-6. Now the Templeboard has the FM-9 and two EV-1's, with the wireless receiver underneath...

    Fav amp after Cygnus 2.0

    My Collings hollow body is having a love affair with the Super Verb Vibrato Channel (Scene 1). That preset has a lot of great tone and feel, and interacts with the volume knob very well.

    FM9 Purchase and incredible customer service from Mark Day

    This is the kind of bs I see all the time in online phone menus. Makes you wonder if anyone that matters at their companies tries to use their own system. It takes a lot of creativity to get around these stupid roadblocks. Glad Mark and the Fractal team are consistently professional and helpful.

    Setup recommendation? FM9 and two EV2s

    I've got the Temple 34 with an FM9 and two EV1s. I believe you can cut the 34 down to size and remount the end cap. I've also heard that Temple will make you a custom width, so you might want to reach out to them.
  14. dsimms

    FM9 sure is built to last. Confirmed withstands drunks. End of a very bad weekend.

    I owe my entering the Fractal world to two drunk women. They got into a fight at the end of the bar, one shoving the other into the back of my rig - A Bad Cat Hot Cat 30 head and Roccaforte custom plexi head on top of my Marshall 425A 412 cab. Everything fell over, and the two women ran out...

    Your favourite dual amp combo?

    I'll have to try that preset. Jeff is so expressive that most of his songs make me love the tone he's getting, when it's just as much about his technique and feel. Rick Beato recently did a YT on Jeff Beck, and described him as "One of one". And the dude is 78! Perfect description. Have you...

    My FM9 Turbo is switching to View 2 on its own

    My FM9 Turbo is switching to View 2 on its own

    During a recent gig, my new FM9 Turbo switched to View 2 on it's own after sitting on the same preset (usually the factory Super Reverb) for 10 - 20 minutes. It still kept the preset active so I was able to continue playing until the song ended, when I could restart it. This repeated five or...

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    I've had no issues with give or sagging on this Temple Duo 34. The center feet keep it solid. The longer size (34") was necessary for the previous FM3/FC6 with the two full size EV1s, but it made for a long and heavy board. Since I've freed up about 4" going to the FM9, I'm thinking about...

    Let's see those FM9 rigs!

    Yes, it's a great choice. I've had no problems with mine for many years. I just replaced my FM3/FC6 with a new FM9 on this Temple board. The G50 is mounted underneath with velcro, with the antennas lining up with the larger holes behind the FM9's Output 1.

    Country Rock

    Before I started using Fractal gear, my Bad Cat Hot Cat 30 was perfect for country and country rock. All shades of Matchless and an AC30 on steroids. On the Axe FX, I get great country rock tones from the Vox AC30, Matchless DC30 and Trainwreck Express amps.

    You'll miss half of the stereo effects if you're running just one side. May not be an issue for you, but stereo chorus, delay, reverb,ping-pong effects won't be there unless you have both right and left xlrs playing. If you don't use stereo effects, you're fine running one side to one frfr.
