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...

Malwarebytes blocking FM3-Edit and FractalBot installs

My security software, Malwarebytes (Windows) is blocking/quarantining an item named Malware.Sandbox.23 every time I try running the new FM3-Edit installer or the FractalBot auto updater. I'm in IT and have been using Malwarebytes with great success for many years. Here's their page for that...

New FC-6 to go with FM3 - moving EV-1 pedal to FC-6?

Just got my FC6. I've been using the FM3 with two EV pedals, plugged into its Pedal 1 and Pedal 2 inputs. Is there a way I can plug my two EV pedals into either the FM3 or FC6 Pedal 1 & 2 inputs without having to reset something each time I switch?

Closed Enhanced screen view for live performing

Instead of the preset name using 30 - 40% of the screen on single lines, provide an option to have them use the full width with larger fonts, possibly with scene names below for the first 3 scenes something like this. Active scene could be underlined, blinking, different color. Same could be...

Q7 and the new toys (motor drive, compressors, etc) - expectations for live gigging

I've got my first gig with 7.01 coming up Friday, and am considering using 7.02b since I've got time to work through my presets this week. There's been lots of happy talk about the recent additions (new FW, shimmer drive, motor drive, opto compressors) and I wonder how many were home/bedroom...

How often do you change the Input Trim?

For best results, S/N ratio etc, we're supposed to set the input trim in the I/O->INPUT menu so our loudest signal briefly lights up the red on the meter. If I set it up for a hot guitar signal, my single coil guitars are way behind and I have to compensate for the levels and dynamics elsewhere...

Help with trying out a new amp block (Dweezil's B-man)

I'm trying out the new Dweezil's B-man amp block. I don't think there's a preset built around this one, so how do I hear it the way Cliff intended? Drop it into an existing preset with a reasonable cab (basketweave 412), then reset the amp block to bring in the ideal starting settings? I know...

Do I need to reset the cab block after a major upgrade?

I thought I recently read that it was a good idea to reset my preset cab blocks to pick up on new improvements to IRs/etc. Is this a good idea with a major upgrade (I just upgraded to Q2)? Is it even necessary / does the upgrade process automatically upgrade the cabs? I reset my amp blocks...

Fractal not at the Nashville Amp Show this weekend?

I'll be going this weekend. I thought I saw Fractal on the exhibitor's list earlier this year, but you're not on there now. Have you given any thought to this one or did you change plans?

Anyone know the foot/bottom screw size for the Fractal EV-1 Expression Pedal

Looking for the foot/bottom screw size for the EV-1. Sorry if this is in the wrong section - I didn't see a section for the EV-1. I need slightly longer screws to mount my EV-1 to my pedalboard. The MFC-101 mounted fine with its screws, which I've seen are M3.5 X 60 in other threads on...

Mullard reopens virtual tube factory, reissues classic long plate tube profiles

They're selling them on a subscription basis, based on expected tube life. Guess I'm going to have to go back to my 50 watt models to afford this. I strongly suspect Cliff owns stock in this new venture. Well, someone had to start this up today, might as well be me.

New Axe II XL+/Atomic CLR/MFC 101 owner here. I have one CLR active wedge for my onstage monitoring and will send to the main PA as well, which is always mono. This will affect my stereo effect presets. I've read through threads here recommending summing L + R before sending to the CLR and...
