    WISH: Global Blocks on FM3 Still Wishful Thinking?

    Well that's a bummer. :/ Hopefully some sort of new workaround or discovery will come into effect. I initially thought that gapless was impossible for the base FM3 model due to memory constraints, yet here we are!

    WISH: Global Blocks on FM3 Still Wishful Thinking?

    For some reason I thought the FM9 standard had global by now, even though it didn't initially. I wonder what causes the CPU limitation... Oh well. :(

    WISH: Global Blocks on FM3 Still Wishful Thinking?

    So ever since the AFXIII got gapless switching, I was under the impression that the FM3 would never get this luxury. BUT... now that it has become a reality, I now wonder if the possibility of working on global blocks for the FM3 is back on the table, maybe? If not, could someone hopefully give...

    IT'S HAPPENING! THIS IS NOT A DRILL, PEOPLE! This is, though:

    Development with the next firmware

    Well all I know is, however it happens, it's certainly gonna take some sort of toll on the FM3's processor to the point where we'll have to maybe sacrifice some sort of other 'quality-of-life' feature that we've come to take for granted or use a lot of. 😬

    Control DAW automation of track with FM3?

    I know you can send CC instructions to your DAW of choice to make it change parameters to your sound without touching your pedal (via click track etc.), but is there a way to START and/or STOP the track with the FM3? How does one do such a thing, if possible? :s

    Metal footswitch caps fell off. Where to find replacements?

    Basically, you know how a standard metal footswitch you find on almost every stomp box that isn't Boss or Ibanez etc. looks like a tiny metal 'mushroom'? Well, I was looking closely at my FM3 earlier and realised that the tops of the footswitches were missing - I assume I kicked them off...

    Does it matter what type of cable is used to connect Axe-Fx to power amp of choice?

    I just wanted to check if a flimsy cable like the short ones used between pedals or from your wireless pack to your guitar would suffice haha.

    Does it matter what type of cable is used to connect Axe-Fx to power amp of choice?

    Of course! But I was talking about the type of 1/4-inch cable that leaves output 2 of the Axe-Fx and goes into the power amp's input. Which cables are off limits, is basically my question...?

    How do you sort/arrange your amp presets on your computer?

    Audio Gap when Using Boss FS-5U as EXT CTRL for Press-and-Hold-type Actions

    I should add that when you depress the pedal, the effect (drive block, in this case) engages without a hiccup; it's when you dismount the pedal to disengage the effect where you hear the signal bypassing to the dry signal for a split second before it reconnects to the amplifier block.

    Audio Gap when Using Boss FS-5U as EXT CTRL for Press-and-Hold-type Actions

    Hey all. There's a noticeable audio gap when using my FS-5U switch for the drive block (assigned to its mix knob as EXP CTRL 3). I intend to use it for quick 'in-out' lead bits as I hold the pedal down to engage the effect. The gap (which is about 50ms or so) is still audible when not connected...

    Volume pedal causing non-auto engaged effects to become engaged

    The effect is on scene 6, my bad, not scene 5. That's the only place out of all 6 scenes where it should 'whammy'. EXT CTRL 2 is set to 7 and PITCH1 BYP is set to 77. Wonder if that's the bug? Should I try to change the 77 to something else?

    Volume pedal causing non-auto engaged effects to become engaged

    I've come across what I believe to be a bug: I have assigned an envelope controller to the 'control' knob of the 'Pitch' block (Ad.
