    FM3 Firmware Version 8.00 beta 1

    Did you turn Gapless Switching on? I didn't notice a decrease in CPU utilization, quite the opposite.

    Do You Use the Enhancer Block?

    I always use it for my stereo presets with two amps. But I also use my Mimiq pedal in front of Input 2 for these presets … sounds massive. Not using it for recording or band rehearsal.

    Sound difference between FM3 and Fm9

    To compare the two units: use the rear Input 1 on the AxeFX. With the same firmware on both units the sound should be identical.

    How Good is the Fractal VH4 Model?

    I'm normally a 5150 guy, but the VH4 is since a few months one of my favorites. Channel two is so nice for a slightly dirty clean sound. Channel three for high gain stuff, boosted or just the amp. Love it!

    Red Sound Elis.8 for (5-String) Bass?

    Most bass cabs I found also only go down to 40-50 Hz, but yea, the 70 Hz cut off of the Elis.8 is probably too much for a good low end. But if the speaker of the Elis.8 survives a low B at louder volumes this would also be fine for me for home practice. I guess if I really play bass in a band...

    Front - rear instrument input comparison

    Why do you not just use Input 2 L/R for your stereo board? This seems a lot easier to me. I also use two large pedalboards with my AxeFX, but I have them both in the FX Loops of the AxeFX (In/Outs 3 & 4). This is also a nice option to place virtual effects in front of your pedalboard.
