    Anyone change the Tonestack on their preset?

    I have messed around with a Blackface Fender and Marshall JTM45 to try and achieve a Buxom Betty.

    FM9 Firmware Version 4.00 public beta 1

    But if you have 4 channels some would like to have the channel read for delay as an example: 1/4 / *8 350 633 / 649 400 / 800. If you could name the channels it would be awesome.

    Using the III in 4cm with the Quad Cortex

    I do something similar with the FM9 and the Bluguitar Amp 1. On the Axe go to layout and page over to meter then on the QC go to the input output screen and check your levels on both balancing them to adjust for hot spikes in levels.

    Neal Schon FM9 Rig Tour

    I'm a moderately consistent fan of the band. I've seen them every time they are in or near Indy over the last 10 years. I noticed the FM9 earlier this year when they visited Indy. He was only playing Fender guitars which I had never seen before. The sound was not good at all, but this was likely...

    Any tips on hooking up Morningstar MC8 to FM9?

    Can you take some photos of the FM9 midi page for settings? If used someone may have put some funky setting in? As long as the midi channels match and the settings allow in (check thru) you should be seeing the interaction. The learn button is the quick way to see that there is interaction.
  14. bshaw92

    Any tips on hooking up Morningstar MC8 to FM9?

    No. I'm saying that whether FM9 or Axe 3 the answer was always you can't do that in scenes so I stayed with channels where it worked as I needed. I recently asked again and it was able to be accomplished using Scenes. Yes. I was part of that long ago as I could do that on my Voes before the...

    Any tips on hooking up Morningstar MC8 to FM9?

    ...but keep in mind that the MC8 and some other midi controller give you some options the FC's do not. If you are a channel person (which I was - until Mark Day helped me with scenes AND control switches to act like a pedal board) you can only change the amp channel and cabinet channel together...
  16. bshaw92

    Any tips on hooking up Morningstar MC8 to FM9?

    You can only program the on/off on the MC8. If it was saved as ON in the FM9 when you first push the MC8 it will want to turn it on....it's already on, so you would have an additional step on the MC8 to turn it off, but then back to normal.
  17. bshaw92

    Any tips on hooking up Morningstar MC8 to FM9?

    Currently this is only available with scenes and presets. The other blocks have to be matched up by saving in the state you want to start. Still very usable but keep it in mind.
  18. bshaw92

    Any tips on hooking up Morningstar MC8 to FM9?

    Whatever you have (CC#) programmed into the MC8 > go to the FM9 Midi and choose your block for mapping. Hit the bottom learn button and then hit the MC8 switch to tie them together. Very quick and easy.

    Any tips on hooking up Morningstar MC8 to FM9?

    Same as with FM3 and Axe 3. If you have the midi out of the MC8 and in on the FM9 and the blocks mapped. What specifically isn't working for you? When you are on the FM9 did you use learn to make sure your signal/message was coming through?

    Maxing out the DSP

    Would love to but can't get back to a useable preset with that being used at Ultra. I find the cab at Ultra-res is my desired point as it has a little better sound.

    They All Sound the Same Part Deux

    Since you noted the guitar volume was rolled back half way the output should be reflective of this. 1,2 and 5 are modelers that don't react properly to the volume knob. 3 is the Axe (I find adjusting the treble or presence a little more gets the top end difference between the tube amp a little...

    They All Sound the Same, It's About Workflow

    Noob Mistake: Leveling Presets on the FM3

    Assuming you are going out Output 1... I would also make all those settings/amp level adjustments with output 1 (knob on device) at noon so once you are good with all your preset levels you can simply turn the knob if the sound guy want more or less to FOH.
  67. bshaw92

    Noob Mistake: Leveling Presets on the FM3

    Adjusting the level in the amp block is what you want. You don't want to adjust the output block. Under EDIT there is also a leveling tool, but you can click on the amp block on the unit and edit it jumping through the amps (scenes) and adjust it by ear if you choose.

  71. bshaw92

    Output Level -> KRK Rokit RP5 G3

    FrFr + FOH Hookup

    One other note on output 2. If you are too low it will sound thin. Unity gain is maxed so it might be that you max out 2 and adjust the level at your monitor to sound best. You will need to play around and see what works for you.

  99. bshaw92

    How to do 4CM with the Axe-Fx 3 as the amp?

    You would place your amp/cab where you want it to be hit. Out 3 (in this case) goes to your pedal input and input 3 comes from your pedal output. Is this what you are trying?

    How to do 4CM with the Axe-Fx 3 as the amp?
