    FM3, Matrix GT800FX, Marshall 4x12

    I did this setup with my Axe Fx2 during my gigging days. Yes. It works. It works extremely well. Just be sure to disable cab modeling!

    New FM3T second dumb question

    Thanks for this. I created a workaround where button 1 goes into my clean preset and long press disables/enables my drive (thats the only difference between those scenes) my short press takes me back to the original preset which is my main high gain tones in which I can go through scenes.

    New FM3T second dumb question

    Coming from my Axe Fx2 and MFC, I never really used scenes. I was able to toggle through my main presets and switch on/off effects, life was good.

    New FM3T 1st dumb question post

    Just tried this to no sound. Like I said, the signal is hot. If I remove it from the jack and touch the cable, I get sound from the cab. Edit: This worked! I needed to adjust level 2 on the FM3. I told you that this would be a very dumb question. As always, thanks for being patient, helpful...

    From Fm9 to Fm3....crazy?

    I have an FM3T currently en route to me. I've nursed my Axe Fx2 MK2 for many years now and I still get complimented big on my guitar tones. For me it's the portability. The FM9 on paper is the perfect unit, but I would prefer something smaller, even if it means that I can't be the next...
