    Mic'd amp into FM3?

    Looking at another thread around using the Axe Fx 2 for vocals, it was recommended to use a mic-pre/interface and out from that into the Axe FX. Might still be workable without? Yeah this is just it - I'm looking to keep my clean amp sound for this. Although the method you mention I also use...

    Mic'd amp into FM3?

    I've been using my FM3 mainly for effects only into a clean amp. It just occured to me that when recording I could maybe try sending my mic'd amp signal back into the FM3 for stereo delay and reverb and then on into the interface, rather than using plugins or placing them before the amp. I've...

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 23.00 Public Beta #1

    Might seem like a dumb question but can someone explain why gapless switching is seen as such an important feature? I get that it's nice to have but I can't think of a situation where the gap would be such a big problem?

    Please make an FX8 Mark 3 in the FM3 form factor. I'm begging you.

    I spent some time yesterday swapping between my FX8 and the FM3 with no blocks enabled (in the case of the FM3 just straight from Input 1 to Output 2.) The most obvious thing to me was the FM3 was a little noisier. I should say I was using passive single coils and basically sitting right in...

    Please make an FX8 Mark 3 in the FM3 form factor. I'm begging you.

    So in terms of 4CM it seems Axe FX III, FM9 and FX8 all share essentially the same analog path, whereas the FM3 was not designed with 4CM in mind so may not have quite the same fidelity. If I'm not interested in 4CM, and only running the FM3 for effects before my amp, does that change...

    FM3 as an FX processor only

    Has anyone tried using the FM3 within a loop of an effects switcher (eg. GigRig G2/G3, Boss ES series etc.)? There are a couple of things I'm curious to find out about - Firstly, whether having the FM3 entirely out of the circuit when the loop is bypassed yields any improvement over having the...

    Wish "Crackle" parameter added to tape delay

    I exchanged some messages with Simeon last year about achieving that exact sound. He very kindly worked on it and came back with something I was really happy with. I'll try find the block and attach for you but from memory the crinkle was achieved by running the mono tape delay in parallel, and...

    Anyone using their FM3 with an effects switcher (GigRig, Boss ES series, RJM Mastermind etc.)?

    I'm a new FM3 owner and using it mainly for effects straight into a clean amp. I bought the FM3 basically as an updated FX8 and want to incorporate other pedals into the signal chain. I found the FX8 more or less totally transparent, I'm not yet sure about the FM3. Has anyone found it necessary...

    Is anyone using the FM3 for effects only? How are you liking it.

    Anyone every considered running the FM3 in a true bypass loop switcher to avoid this if/when not using it's effects? I'm thinking about using my FM3 as a sort modern, ultra-capable jack of all trades multi-effects unit (like an improved H9 I guess). Being able to switch it out of the path as...

    ZOIA or HX Stomp to supplement FM3?

    Yes they're definitely different. My issue is that the ZOIA is the obvious choice in one way, and the Stomp (or perhaps GT1000 Core) is the obvious choice in another. I'm only looking to buy one so it's primarily a question really of how well the ZOIA works as a more conventional effects unit...

    ZOIA or HX Stomp to supplement FM3?

    I had meant that the Stomp is probably much easier to edit than the ZOIA. However I agree that Fractal's software is great.

    ZOIA or HX Stomp to supplement FM3?

    I know there have been separate discussions on these but nothing that really compares the two. I'll primarily be using the FM3 as an effects only processor straight into a clean amp, so the modelling aspects of the HX Stomp are nice to have but not that relevant. I'm looking for something that...

    Help fine-tuning the envelope controller...

    Apologies, I should have specified that I'm actually using an FX8, not an Axe FX III. I posted here as I thought I had the best chance of a reply. I assumed the envelope modifier parameters hadn't changed over the years but obviously they've added attack and release parameters. Without these...

    Help fine-tuning the envelope controller...

    I've noticed watching the X/Y graph while playing that the signal tends to jump up to around 50/60% very quickly and then slowly, slowly fall back towards 0%. Even when playing very soft or very hard the difference in the peak is only around 30% or so. I can adjust the max value so that 50/60%...

    Record DI, Dry, and Wet (Stereo) at once?

    Is it possible to record these four tracks at once using all four outputs? By dry I mean just the pre-effects, amp, and cab. This is something I've been doing with a Kemper but hoping to replicate with an FM3.

    Differences between FM3 & Axe-Fx III Effects Blocks

    Hi, Just wondering in terms of effect blocks where the FM3 is behind with regards to the Axe-Fx III? I'm not talking about the number of instances of an effect or anything to do with CPU limitations - I'm aware of all of that. I'm more concerned about which blocks are identical to their Axe-FX...

    Approaches to Delay Modulation

    Unfortunately haven't had a chance yet but definitely planning on spending an hour or two messing around with this when I can. By all means send on more ideas! Also, sort of separate but anything on interesting approaches to delay EQ would be great also!

    Approaches to Delay Modulation

    I'm become really fascinated by delay modulation over the last while. Whether it's as a really obvious effect or something that's so subtle you barely notice it. I'm curious how you approach your delay modulation (or even just plain modulation if you're not into delays as much). I'm particularly...

    Dan Steinhardt's (TPS) Tape Delay Recreation

    Interesting video. Looks like it's certainly doable. Will need to listen with headphones to hear how much an improvement there is over the delay block on its own. Anyone else using this approach for their delays rather than staying within the confines of the delay block?

    Dan Steinhardt's (TPS) Tape Delay Recreation

    Some of you may be familiar with this particular episode of That Pedal Show from back in April - It starts at the 30 min mark. Basically Dan tries to recreate the elements of a tape delay machine using separate pedals. It's one of the best delay sounds I've heard. I have a couple of questions...

    FM3 with a real amp?

    I'm considering replacing my FX8 with an FM3. Obviously I'll be losing the relays (which I don't currently use) and the extra footswitches (unless I add a foot controller) but is there anything else to be aware of? I know Fractal stressed how the FX8 was designed for use with a real amp/4CM etc...

    What pedals have you been able to match with the FX8?

    Question about midi

    I'm considering adding a Red Panda Particle V2 and am hoping to have the FX8 send midi messages to change presets on it. The Particle V2 receives midi over USB. Is it as simple as using the USB port on the FX8 and configuring the necessary program changes? If so, how does the FX8 determine...

    Anyone "upgrade" to an external delay pedal?

    Just wondering how many of you are supplementing your Axe FX III with separate delay pedals? I'm particularly interested in midi-compatible delays like the Chase Bliss Tonal Recall, Strymon Volante etc. with which the Axe FX could communicate directly for preset and tempo changes. Although I've...

    Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water emulation?

    Has anyone tried to replicate this pedal? I'm trying with a Mono Tape Delay with feedback set to 1%. I have the Mod 1 rate controlled by LFO1 and the Mod 1 type set to square. LFO1 type is set to random. However I'm not even sure if this is the right approach. I'm also struggling with the min...

    Tone Control Vs. High Cut?

    Interested on how you all approach using a tone control vs a high cut where both are available (e.g. drives, reverb etc.). Let's say for a given effect the tone was at 5.0 and the High Cut was at something like 8kHz. If I wanted a brighter or darker sound for that effect which would you adjust...

    How to get the Tremolo in sync?

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    Thanks for that info. I haven't had a chance to try the sequencer yet but will do over the next day or two.
  32. E

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    Not in every case no, although that is what I've been looking at so far. Allowing various random values within a range would be useful too. Yes I'd prefer to have longer periods of "off" states broken up by briefer periods of "on" states.
  33. E

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    Perfect. I'll try it out and let you know. Thanks again.

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    I've never heard of this. Will read up on it for sure. Can you elaborate on this? Using one modulation source/controller to modulate another is something I'm still trying to get my head around. Exactly. Is it possible to have the steps run randomly so it just doesn't run the same pattern...

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    Thanks for the perseverance! There are a couple of different applications. One is that I'd like to have, say, one in every ten delay repeats modulate, where nine have no modulation whatsoever. An additional element to this would be to vary this number somewhat randomly (i.e. maybe two in every...

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    I've tried this and it's getting there but I'm pretty sure I'm misunderstanding something. I've spent the last while reading the manual on modifiers and controllers and I'm still not sure. I'll lay out a real example I'm try to achieve and that might make it clearer. So one use for this would...

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    Sorry I should clarify. The random wave shape is not cyclical but it is either always running or it is not. It is not random in the sense of when it runs and when it stops. Does that make sense? Yes - I suppose I do not want a defined tempo of change. More ideal would be that it randomly...
  40. E

    Non-Cyclical LFO/Sequencer??

    I'm wondering is there a way to have a controller randomly run and modify a parameter? For example, let's say I want the depth of modulation on a delay to go from 0% to 10%. I can obviously assign an LFO to this but that LFO cycle will run constantly and cyclically. I can change the LFO wave...

    Need help with a reverse delay...

    Only really got round to trying this properly this evening and not having much success. Not helped by the fact that I don't really know what ADSR controllers do. I tried matching the sustain to the delay time with release at minimum but I'm getting no sound at all? Thanks in advance!

    Need help with a reverse delay...

    I actually hadn't thought of that so will try it next time. With regards to the reverse delay, can you speak to how it works in this scenario? Would it begin recording as soon as the effect is engaged? If so, and if the tempo was set to 2 bars, would that mean that it's continually recording in...

    Wish More options for Series/parallel

    I just recently realised that this isn't possible with the FX8. I only really started getting into delays in the last couple of months and was surprised and disappointed to see I couldn't add effects in series to a parallel path. Also surprised to see this isn't a more requested feature here...

    Good "Fender" Style Reverb?

    Has anyone got settings for a good Fender-style spring reverb?
