    Are most of you gigging with your FM9's?

    I perform with my non-Turbo FM9 at least 2X monthly. It has never given me any issues whatsoever though I cannot settle on a higher gain (not metal) tone I really like. I have settled on the JCM800 model lately and that gets me almost there, using a drive to goose when needed. Oddly I have no...

    SOLD FM3 - Headphone Version

    Bought as a backup for my rock-solid FM9 and I just don't need it. I’ve only turned it on to create a preset or two and to be updated. Has Button Covers and the plastic film on the screens hasn't been removed. It smells like new. Comes with original box and power cable. $825 PayPal Shipped CONUS

    FM9 w/ IEM

    This is also interesting. So, like others who have mentioned line mixers, you are using this device to blend a feed from the system AND a feed from your FM9 that goes to your IEM transmitter? So if needed, you can increase your guitar level in the overall mix you’re getting? I like that this...

    FM9 w/ IEM

    I just performed a test with my FM9, running out 2 directly into my IEM rig and it sounds pretty bad...very crispy and distorted. YUCK. Very much not something I'd like to hear. I have not yet been 100% happy with my tone via in-ears when running from our system(s) but it was 100% better than...

    FM9 w/ IEM

    Hmmmm...great question. One of them is something called an "XR-18" or similar with some rack amps? The guy uses a tablet with it and has all sorts of problems related to WiFi. The other, and the one we use most often is a Midias M32 I think. I know basically nothing about this stuff, but I...

    FM9 w/ IEM

    As you mention, you and I appear to be in the same situation. I like the idea of IEMs but so far the execution of it has not been awesome.

    FM9 w/ IEM

    Thanks for this. I like this idea. I am not averse to a small device of my own (i.e. this Behringer mixer) and this makes sense. Using this setup (the mixer) would ensure I get everything in both ears, I think, while also allowing me the option of increasing or lowering my level within it. I...

    FM9 w/ IEM

    My long-time cover band is attempting to reduce stage volume. Moving to Fractal gear years ago certainly helped me in this regard, but I am still running one CLR onstage as my personal monitor so I can control my level without affecting mains or other stage monitors. I'd prefer to not lug...

    My invite has arrived

    Correct, my OP was confusing as I wrote it, and I’ve edited it for clarity. No sketchiness going on :)

    My invite has arrived

    My buddy got on the waitlist right when it first opened and ended up not wanting the FM9 when he got his invite (he had an Axe3 rig). He bought the FM9 and I bought it from him for exactly what he paid.

    My invite has arrived

    I received my invite today. I’ve been using an FM9 for a long time, having purchased one from a friend who was in line very early and when his invite came he didn’t need it. My dilemma is if I should ignore my invite, buy it as a backup, or buy and sell (no gouging) my current non-turbo FM9...

    How to activate Tuner

    First gig tonight with my new FM9. I am using the OMGFM9 layout, which is perfect for me. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get to the tuner from this layout. I realize there's all sorts of ways to modify the switches and layouts, but I'm just at the point where this unit is very new...

    FT Axe FX3 MK1 for FM9

    Looking to trade an always-racked Axe FX3 MK1 for an FM9 straight up. For live use, I would rather sacrifice power for smaller all-in-one footprint. I also have an FC12 that could be part of a deal as well. Both units have original packaging and while gigged, are in excellent condition and...

    Do FC6 and FC12 ship with cables?

    Ah, ok then .. I feel better :). I have nice 25' coming from Amazon soon ... But I still think one came with the Fc6 I ordered, but that was the "package" deal so maybe something was different or I got lucky. Thanks for the replies.

    Do FC6 and FC12 ship with cables?

    I bought an FC6 when I got m Axe-FX III, and I swear it came with the nice faslink cable. I sold that FC6 (and sent the cable with it) and bought an FC12 which I just opened and there is no cable. I realize these are just XLRs but I don't have one lying around. Tim

    Anyone using Austin Buddy presets live?

    Today, which was the first time with the presets I was using a Music Man JP6 with the stock pickups which I believe are Dimarzios. Nothing active or super high output. Going to try again tomorrow with some different guitars. Tim

    Anyone using Austin Buddy presets live?

    I was really excited about these. After purchasing the AX8 presets I find the presets to be overly harsh sounding through my CLR. I realize that live and loud they might sound better but my homemade presets sound pretty good at home volumes as well as gig volumes. I suppose I need to tweak and...

    Ty Tabor Kings X tone

    Interesting. I need to check this out, I have an early 80s Fender Elite Strat, same model Ty used for the earlier albums. Just by itself and whatever amp I use, the guitar's electronics really provide a LOT of "that" tone already, so a model of his actual rig might get this really close. Now...

    Wah distorts clean presets

    Wow. I didn’t know this...thanks for the info, I figured something had to be going on. Hopefully reducing the boost won’t have too much of a detrimental effect on the distorted wah tone which I think is fantastic.

    Wah distorts clean presets

    I use a John Petrucci wah with my AX8 as I really dig it. I’ve never had the need to use it with a clean tune until now, however it overdrives the crap out of my clean presets. I use a CAE preamp based clean tone and it’s a clean as can be until I turn on the wah. Is there a way to keep this...

    F2 switch unresponsive

    Hi, During a gig last night, the F2 switch became unresponsive...I was unable to switch banks up. Down, no problem. Power cycle and it was ok. Then it happens again...power cycle fixes it. Set it up today and I can't recreate the issue. If it were a mechanical failure, why does a power...

    Please Suggest a LOUD, CLEAN amp/preset

    Thanks for all the suggestions. This provides some great starting points I didn't really otherwise have. My levels...funny that is mentioned. I have been thinking about that too. What happens I believe, and I have endless trouble with this- is I get to a gig and for whatever reason my presets...

    Please Suggest a LOUD, CLEAN amp/preset

    I am having difficulty creating a basic loud, clean tone that doesn't really breakup. I had a great starting point with a CAE Clean preset, but for whatever reason...with my tweaks and the various updates it has gotten super compressed and yet still clips when I dig in. Even the factory...

    Just updated my AX8 and now my screen is scrambling. Help!

    The OP sent a video of what he's describing to me this evening. The screen appears to be quickly cycling through various pages like you'd see in setup, the preset screen with the footswitch assignments, etc...very quickly. I've never seen anything like it before with my unit.

    Show Us Your AX8 Rig! (post your pics)

    Setting up before last night's gig. Off, back to the left is my little Alto TS 210 or whatever...just got it. Previously I had been using a Line 6 L2T, which is still great but I was intrigued by the 20 lb. Alto. I thought the Alto worked really well, and my rig is so nice and portable...

    Line 6 EX-1 Expression Pedal

    Got the Roland cheapie for now. GC matched the Musicians Friend price. Seems to work just fine. Planning on using my Petrucci wah for the moment as I really dig it so when the black Fractal pedals are in stock I will grab one.

    Line 6 EX-1 Expression Pedal

    It doesn't (or at least the one I have) have a wired cable so I bought a TSR. That could indeed be the issue though, and the more I've looked into this thing, I believe its only for Line 6 products...in fact I think it came along with some used Line 6 thing I had purchased and subsequently...

    Line 6 EX-1 Expression Pedal

    Another thought...I would imagine this silly Line 6 pedal is not compatible with anything but Line 6 stuff. Hence, could anyone recommend a decent expression pedal I could just buy at Guitar Center that won't cost too much? I would like the EV-1 and will get one eventually, but I absolutely...

    Line 6 EX-1 Expression Pedal

    Hi, does anyone know if the Line 6 EX-1 pedal should work as an expression pedal with the AX8? I'm in quite some $$ at this point with this AX8 rig, and HAVE the Line 6 expression pedal, so while its not as nice as most others, I was hoping it would work as a global volume until I pick up...

    Just Received AX8...something must be wrong.

    A couple of things. I plugged the AX8 into the "power amp in" of a little Fender Hot Rod Deluxe I have. Right there everything sounded 100% better, even through this way-less-than-ideal setup. I originally was testing the AX8 with my Line 6 L2M in my office, so I moved that Line 6 out into...

    Just Received AX8...something must be wrong.

    I am certain I have power amp modeling on, cabs as well. Same results after a complete restore. I guess I can tweak these presets to where they sound much better, but nearly all are unusable as loaded. I guess this is ok, I haven't really ever used a factory preset untouched. Oddly, there...

    Just Received AX8...something must be wrong.

    I am reloading firmware and factory presets and will go from there. Thanks Smittefar for preset and suggestion. At this time, I really only have an iPhone with which to record, so not sure if that helps. Once I figure how to load a preset like you've provided I will surely test it. I am...

    Just Received AX8...something must be wrong.

    I thought I'd just plug it in after watching some of the tutorial vid I purchased. Guitar - AX8 - Line 6 L2M. This L2M sounds GREAT with my Amplifire. AX8 sounds like there is a octave fuzz going on. Like there is a 2nd tone I am hearing beneath the preset tone...I reset the parameters as...
