    New Firmware Update, but Editor Doesn't Recognize

    FM3 Edit "Disconnected" Problem

    What steps, as I'm having the same problem.

    Fast Scrolling Option?

    Like a number of people, I updated to firmware 7, and the editor no longer will recognize the unit. Here's a question: If I'm on page 300, for example, how do I quickly get to page 001 without having to do a massive amount of clicking?

    New Firmware Update, but Editor Doesn't Recognize

    I updated everything... Robot, new Editor, and the most recent FM3 updates. I'm obviously connected via USB, as I did my updates, etc. But the Editor is not recognizing the FM3. It matters not which one I turn on (editor before FM3 or after FM3). I suspect it's something simple, but no idea.

    I'll add something. I can now hear it, but the volume is super quiet. If I increase the input or output, it shows read, like it's clipping.

    No Sound

    I used to have my FM3 as my main 'thing'... amps, cabs, effects, but also it was my interface. I changed things around and now want to use my FM3 for effects only (while using other gear for amps, cabs and I have a different interface). Now, I have no sound. I did go into the General setup...

    FM3 Sonicake's 5th Dimension (review/demo) with FM3

    Amps/Cabs from the FM3... Sonicake’s 5th Dimension is a Swiss Army Knife of pedals. These multi-effects pedals have been around for a while, but the affordability of the 5th Dimension certainly makes it ideal for those looking to access various modulations in their most basic form. Contained...

    FM3 Wave Crush (review/demo with FM3)

    Used amps/cabs and effects (reverb/delay) from the FM3 Bit crushers are a specialty pedal, and some may consider their use limited and when wanting a lo-fi sound. However, I do find them most appropriate for guitar when applied in a low dose, which I’ll address later. The Sonicake Wave Crush is...

    I did not use my FM3 on this review, but the guitar sounds fantastic with the reverbs.

There is a separate output for pedals, etc., so that you can still do...

    FM3 Sonicake's Octaver demo (FM3 used for guitar tone/delay)

    An octaver goes back to the 1960s, originally designed by Roger Mayer for Jimi Hendrix. As applicable for the bass player or keyboardist, an octaver adds breadth, depth, fullness and a hint of eerie edginess to a tone. Certainly, an octaver plays a role in make a smaller band sound much larger...

    FM3 TriceraChorus by Eventide (demo/review using FM3)

    Not everyone likes the sound of chorus, but when applied sparingly, it can give depth and thickness to a tone. But enough pandering.

    Problems with FM3 not in stereo

    I never got it to work. My I/O is in stereo... set to stereo. The reverb pedal is in mono. It goes back to the FM3 in mono, but the FM3's final output (not the FX chain) is in stereo and set to stereo. Yet my XLR outs to my DAW only plays one channel.

    Problems with FM3 not in stereo

    I tried a search, but got an error message twice. In any case, I ran a reverb pedal through the FM3... through the FX Loop (so that it's after the Cab sim and not in front of the FM3). The problem is, the pedal is in mono and when I record to my DAW (using the FM3) I only get the left channel...

    FM3 Amp Rescue (Lounsberry Pedals) with demo

    I adding the Amp Rescue to the FM3, but also used cab sims and delay/reverb for the other examples: There are a few ways to describe the effect of the Amp Rescue, and it depends on whether you’re playing a clean or dirty signal. When playing clean, it’s as though a ‘flatness’ is removed from...

    FM9 Hagerman DRIVE (Muff-style silicon) review/demo

    Fractal FM3 cab sims used in this review (as well as any reverb/delay). I don’t mind fuzz pedals, but I don’t use them often. I’ve demoed them, used them here and there, but frequently had to do some EQ adjustments or add some type of treble booster, etc., to really get the notes to sound more...

    Hagerman Amps ONE WATTER (2 demos... using FM3 cab sims)

    Hagerman designed a low watt amplifier for the primary purpose of a practice amp, in order to avoid using and burning up a larger stage amp at home. I can expand on that premise to suggest that many times bands leave gear in a particular location, to prevent having to haul amps, cabs, etc., back...

    REACTIVATOR by Hagerman Amps (pedal demo/review)

    I used the FM3 for effects and cab sims... I now realize why Hagerman Amps calls its latest true bypass pedal Reactivator – “it’s alive… it’s alive!” This is a low to moderate gain pedal, a two-transistor/two-triode overdrive, but its tube driven components maintain that ‘warm’ and realistic...

    Hagerman is a solid pedal-builder/engineer, and often producing unique voicings when compared to its rivals.

However, this latest version was tweaked in order to be used by a six-string as well. The accompany...

    Bass and rhythm playing is no issue. A touch cumbersome (until getting used to it) for lead.

I'll be using it now and...

    How are you connecting your FM3 to your audio interface?

    XLRs to 1/4-inch (into my PreSonus Studio 24C). If there's latency, I can't hear or detect it. My PreSonus goes to my computer, but also a mixer. I do have my FM3 as the audio controller. Maybe I'm doing things backward, but it works, and I don't want to frig with it!

    Band in a Box has stereo level controls. One of the levels was full, at 24 dB boost. No idea how it got there... sometimes I notice the mouse acting erratically, and it does a 'ghost' change on something (for some reason more common with music programs than something like Word or Excel)...
