    What is the point of SPDIF if it's just going to be converted to USB anyway?

    I use it always and always have. It has the benefit of being line level.

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (1)

    So I did a little test and compared the same preset between 5.01 and 6 beta. I couldn't hear any difference between the delays with my preset but I did notice my tone on 5.01 was noticeably brighter so adjusting the presence knob on the new firmware should suffice.

    Low Cut, High Cut

    Ownhammer Heavy Hitters IR of a Mesa with v30 speaker 57/121 combo. If it doesn't sound good through that then the amp isn't for me. Once you get over the OCD of "OMG I can't possibly cut past 7500hz!!" it's all about cutting away that stuff before your poor ears get a chance to get used to it.

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (1)

    Might be me but my preset with the 5153 red sounds very slightly darker, less present. Perhaps due to the presence value changes but that might be nonsense. The stealth version on exactly the same settings has more low end so I adjusted the Depth to around 5 And it has more high end so sounds...

    Good headphones for the FM9?

    The IR (‘impulse response) is the virtual cabinet or as I like to think of it….the sonic lens. If the amp is the frame For your glasses then the IR is definitely the lens.

    Creating momentary effects
