    Is there a plan to add global preset blocks to FM9 (turbo or otherwise)?

    Getting harder to differentiate the floor modelers from the flagship rack unit. Gotta keep a few features separate to try to push ppl to buy the flagship rack unit.

    FM9 Firmware Version 4.00

    Thanks for the idea. Gonna have to try this as well. First time I’ve upgraded fw and immediately rolled back to the previous firmware, seemed very treble heavy to me vs fw3.

    FM9 Case?

    Found what I deem to be the ultimate cheap gig bag for the FM9. $39 shipped with current pricing. Surprisingly it isn’t just a cover, it does have some padding but it’s not very thick. Fits a little tight side-to-side but for the price, meh I’ll deal with it. Also fits my cheapo expression...

    FM9 Firmware Version 2.01 public beta 2

    Had an issue with FC Per-Preset. Upgrading from both FW1 and tried from FM2b1. Same issue. PP#13 and PP#14 (maybe others) aren’t keeping their smart bypass setting. I can’t post the preset since it’s a paid preset (David Hislop’s). I tried importing the preset on FW1 and then upgrading and...

    FM9 Case?

    Height doesn’t seem close looking solely at specs 71mm (boss bag) vs 88mm (FM9). I’m sure since it’s a soft bag it has some give, how’s it feel at the tallest point of the FM9? Any pressure on the switches?

    Scene Switching Lag Time

    No gap means you aren’t truly getting a new algorithm. Likely more getting a new (albeit very complex) eq when you switch amps if a processor has no gap. Not saying it doesn’t sound good, L6 has done a great job at simulating amps but it’s not the same implementation that Fractal uses...

    Wish Larger font

    @cyberk9 youll definitely want to take a harder look at the FM9. The tone and effects are superior to the ax8 since the FM9 runs newer firmware which has many improvements vs ax8. As mentioned above, the footswitches can be programmed for almost any function you could think of. They are light...
