TRUE BYPASS footswitch function

Not sure how to do the first choice you suggested, but I'll set up a SCENE with everything bypassed. Thanks!

TRUE BYPASS footswitch function

I’ve been using the FX8 for years, and I made the switch to the FM9 last about 7 months ago. The thing I loved about my FX8 is that the FX8 had a dedicated TRUE BYPASS foot switch (F2) where it engaged TRUE BYPASS. The signals were shunted and a message would blink “TRUE BYPASS ACTIVATED”...

Let's see those FM9 rigs!

I'm digging the flat pedalboard case. Where did you get it?

Tom Morello - Calm Like a Bomb Tone

I'm in a Rage Against The Machine tribute band called "Rise Against The Machine". I have all the exact gear that Tom Morello uses. I choose to use my FX9 for the effects rather than the analog effects. I just recently bought the FM9 and I'll be programming it to run the same effects. I have...

FM9 Traditional Power Amp & Cab setup question

I'm not talking about dialing in a "sucky tone". I love my tone from my 2-Channel Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and my JCM800 2205 50-Watt head. When I'm playing a riff with no effects I want it to sound as if I'm plugging straight in the amp from my guitar. What I'm asking if the FM9 will...

FM9 Traditional Power Amp & Cab setup question

I’m currently an FX8 user, and I play through a Marshall JCM800 2205 50-Watt head & 4x12 speaker cab I want to upgrade to the FM9. For live gigs I want to use the traditional Guitar Power Amp & Cab Method (effects only). For home use I want to use the Audio Interface setup (amp/cab modeling)...

Announcing the New FM9 Amp Modeler/FX Processor

I agree. I bought the FX8 when it first came out. I play in a Rage Against the Machine tribute band, and I can pull off all the Tom Morello effects with no problem. The best multi-effects unit I've ever owned. With that said, I'm excited about the FM9!

Announcing the New FM9 Amp Modeler/FX Processor

I've had the FX8 since it came out, and I've been wanting to upgrade to the FM3. I've been researching all week long to see if I only needed the FM3, and if I should go ahead and add the FC-6 foot controller. I've been looking at pedalboards and flight cases all week to fit my FM3. I was...

FM3 with a Tube Amp

I'm aware that traditional pedals color your tone. I'm talking about when I have no pedal blocks activated, just a dry signal with no EQ's. Just a straight dry signal when I'm playing a riff with no effects needed. Everything bypassed. When I'm playing a riff with no effects I want it to...

FM3 with a Tube Amp

Thanks! I just looked at the owner's manual and there'a section that talks about using it as an effects processor only. I think I might make the switch!

Thanks for you answer, but my main question is will the FM3 color the tone of my amp if I create patches without the Amp and Cab blocks?

I've been using my FX8 for the past 5 years and it works great! Best multi-effects I've ever owned! I'm seriously thinking of upgrading to an FM3. I plan on using it 2 ways. Of course I want to use it at home with all the amp sims to record music. I mainly want to use it in a live setting...

New FX8?

I have the original FX8 and I freakin' love it! I bought it back in 2014 and I use it with my Rage Against the Machine tribute band, and my original band. With that said, I am hoping that we will get an update on the FX8. My FX8 wishlist: - I'd like to see scribble strips for each effect...

Looper not working

I'm having a problem with my looper. I'll record my guitar riff, but I can't hear it play back. I can see that it recorded my riff when I'm in TRIM page, but I can't hear anything. Is there something in the settings that I need to change in order for me to hear what I played?

This is my first experience with the Fractal unit and I'm really impressed with this unit. My buddy (who owns an AxFX) talks very highly of Cliff and his small staff. I read the manual twice and I immediately started messing around with the FX8. I told my buddy that there were a couple things...

I too have a Line 6 Expression pedal. I bought a TRS cable, and I tried to calibrate the the expression pedal so i can use the WAH and Pitch Shifter. Still doesn't work. It only goes to 4% Max. Now it looks like I'm going to have to either buy me a new expression pedal, or spend an extra $139.99...

Default effects order signal path

I have the M13 and the M13 gives you the option to switch from 1> 2> 3> 4 to 4 <3 <2 <1. I assumed since Fractal was making a floor based/true bypass/effects only unit that they would add this option.
