    Help with this tone/effect

    near the end of the clip, you can hear the guitar trying to feedback and it’s this brooding effect that I’m after rather than the tone necessarily. I’ve tried all sorts of effects in all sorts of orders and can’t seem to get this ‘on the verge of feedback’ effect. Not really looking for a...

    Dan Campbell FTL

    Lot's of Monday morning quarterbacking going on here in Detroit, including if Josh Reynolds catches that pass on 4th down, we likely aren't having this discussion. For the record, I would've kicked the FG. A great season regardless and we now have some hope going forward!

    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (1)

    For clarification - if only using gapless switching in scenes & blocks (not for preset changes), then the global spillover setting and saving in the new firmware are not necessary - correct? Seems to be working this way. . .

    So the Lions move on with Goff beating Stafford, and Dallas gets rolled by the Packers - Justice! 🤣 Toss in U of M winning the National Championship and it was a great week of football in the Great Lakes state!

    Lions Got Robbed

    Sorry - a 15 yard tripping call that doesn't involve points is not equivalent to taking game winning points off the board. They are not equal. Besides, this Sh!t has been going on for years, especially with Dallas. . .

    AxeFx III and Mission Gemini help

    I bought a mission gemini powered wedge after watching a few videos about them, and was not at all impressed with the tone once I got it. I wanted to like it, and tried to figure out how to make it sound good, but it was not fixable to my ear, so I sold it and moved on. I realize this is all...

    FS For Sale: Yamaha DXR 10 FRFR powered wedge

    $550 shipped in continental U.S. Located near Detroit, MI. Like new, hardly used. Intended to use for playing out, but we use IEM so it might have seen 3-4 rehearsals and that's about it. Sounds great, I just don't have a use for it. At home I use studio monitors.

    Why Are Doctors So Stolid?

    A few years ago I called to make the dreaded appointment for my annual physical. The office manager said my primary doc was booked for 6 months, but I could schedule sooner with the P.A. (female). I said "Are her fingers smaller?" The office manager couldn't hold back the laugh. :laughing:

    Similar for me - not the first concert, but a group of college friends invited me to come along after someone bailed out. I was uninterested, but went along for a night out. The band blew me away. 3,000 seat theater, great seats and they were so good.

    I run out 1 at noon as many do, but was hoping there might be some numerical indication of the precise output somewhere in the setup area (there isn't as far as I know). For playing P&W, we rehearse Thursday night, but I often do more fine tuning to my presets between Th & Sunday. When I set...

    Unfortunately, you could replace "Adobe" with almost any other big, dumb corporation and the experience would be exactly the same.

    How to get this effect

    In the intro, the guitar tone goes from sounding like it’s under a rug, gradually back to “normal”. I’d like to do this with an expression pedal, but I’m not sure how it’s done. Seems like a filter block might do it, but I don’t know how and am looking for some direction. Thx! (And sorry for...

    AX8 patches to FM9?

    I was able to convert them to AX3 with Fractool, then import the Ax3 file into FM9. It isn’t perfect and requires some tweaking, but it does work and is better than starting from scratch IMO.

    Global Volume Pedal Issue

    This ^^. The volume pedal should be at whatever value the pedal is actually at, not 0 or any other predetermined value (at least that's what I'm after). According to p.11, under Global Volume Setup it says "Be careful not to assign the same pedal to Volume and an External Controller as...

    Global Volume Pedal Issue

    Thanks Rex. The initial value is set to 0% (I did not change it, but verified it's 0%). I may be wrong but I don't believe MIDI data is a part of setting the global volume as described on P. 11 of the manual - which is what I've followed.
