    an FX only Box?

    You cannot compare the Line 6 HXFX to an FM3, the price difference is huge if they can make it for under the £1k price point then they'll sell loads

    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta #2 (Cygnus X-3 Release Candidate)

    So, so far what's the general consensus on the new firmware and when can we expect a beta on the FM9 ?;)

    an FX only Box?

    I still use Amps now and again, Two Rock CRS and a 67 Selmer TnB 50 with the Two Rock in 4cm with my FM9 but I do think if the will was there and the price point was reasonable there would be a market . When you look at the crazy prices of top end pedals from Eventide, Strymon etc it make a lot...

    Is There A Polyphonic Synth for AxeFx III?

    If EHX can do it then I can't see why Fractal can't., even if its a huge resource hog

    Not Feeling The New Sterling Majesty

    I've had 2 EB Majesty's over the years, nice guitars, usual iffy MM build quality and a neck that has the structural integrity of wet pasta, they really need to do one with a maple instead of mahogany neck

    ok, that IS strange, changed the lead and the damn thing works but the old lead works on my MacBook,,,,,,not. going to question it ;)

    Is FM9 Edit Compatible wit Mac mini m2 pro?

    its very odd, works on my MacBook Pro

    I have the M2 Studio Max and FM9 Shows connected but won't load , it has full permissions etc, very odd indeed

    It'd be good to see some of the EHX synths on the FM9 and definitely the Talking machine, way better than using the formant block tb h

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (1)

    I must have had a brain fart remembering that the older AxeFx3 updated the scribble strip when changing an Fx block , but surely this should be standard protocol to update automatically without the need to open FC editor, the Helix does this and its tbh a no-brainer and certainly helps the...

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (1)

    Unless I'm doing something silly I've found a bug. if i change an effect block from say a phaser to a formant block, even if saved it does not update the scribble strip

  25. Ian Minogue-Corps

    Has anyone noticed with the FM9 and certain drives you can hide the flaws in poorly played fast chord changes???

    Modelling on all platforms does the same job of blurring a few ahem inaccuracies, try plugging into the front of something like a Two Rock CRS and even players who think they are all it get a little humbled, basically, just enjoy making music, that is what its about

    Time spent playing guitar vs time spent learning/tweaking AXEFX

    I think there is a nice symbiotic relationship between tweaking the Axe Fx and playing guitar, i find a new sound and it sends me off in different directions both technique wise and stylistically.

  31. Ian Minogue-Corps

    Increasing the 'dynamics' of a preset.

    Its still the only time a really good valve amp outperforms my Fx3, the feel of the touch sensitivity and dynamics, it just opens up more. Its a small price to pay tbh and who knows what the future may be, the sound may be similar but they do feel different under the fingers
  32. Ian Minogue-Corps

    Anyone sell all their tube amps?

    Any 335'ers Up In Here??

    Noise gate/s settings

    Just to clarify my comment regarding noise gates, my "thing" if you will, is the dynamics of a picked note and the envelope that you can change purely with your hands, noise gates no matter how good trample all over this. If you want to kill noise then just put a volume block after the speaker...

    Ibanez J.Customs in 2022: Are They Worth The Pricetag?

    Switching to 11 gauge strings on a guitar set up for 12's

    This would be a nice addition to future updates for the Axe Fx3, some usable GR300 tones or even some of those enjoyed by the EH pedals such as the Melotron etc. There are so many tones in the machine for more "conventional" sounds, it'd be good to see ppl let loose with the DSP and see what...

    Switched from Helix to Axe Fx III

    For us in the UK and AxeFx3 with an FC12 is nearly 3 times the price of a Helix Rack and Board, plus you get excellent deals throughout the year, this has a massive impact when going Fractal here no matter how much better the Fractal stuff is
