    What pedals do you all use with FM9?

    Sure, @Tremonti - While my post is certainly relevant to "pedals you use with the FM9", maybe the ask for help isn't so per your request I posted my ask elsewhere... No worries. Have searched the forum for more details where people are explaining HOW they are hooking all of these pedals up (in...

    Another Stereo Floor Pedal along with the FM9?

    All - Could I please get some advice? I have a small studio rig at home with my FM9 going to a small PA system (stereo outs) and it's perfect for me!

    FM9 Stereo Output Issues

    Ah, thank you, Chris! Correct, it is a Stagepass 400. I can certainly switch to 1/4" stereo outs on Output 1, I just thought XLR would be better, being balanced. I know balanced doesn't matter anyways since the cables are only 6 feet long, but will using the 1/4'' stereo line outs take...

    FM9 Stereo Output Issues

    Hey, All! I must be doing something stupid with my new FM9 setup, but I can't figure it out! All is good, except I have XLR outs (L + R, Output 1) going to my small PA. No matter what I do, I have no stereo b/c it is doubling the signal, putting L+R in BOTH channels, the Output 1 L and Output...

    Hey @rijiboy, thanks for that, I don't have time to get too far down the rabbit hole either. I am pretty good at designing patches but there a million tweaking parameters I will probably never use. I guess the beauty of it all is the preset exchange, so we can benefit from others' genius. On...

    Announcing FM9 Turbo

    Ah... thanks for the insights, @dean701. It's kinda like back when the video game console companies used to say "16 bit" or "32 bit", it completely depended on the other chips in the build and how the rest of the architecture was designed, but "# of bits" was the marketing gimmick that stuck...

    That confirms my basic understanding that compared to PCs and smart phones, the chips used in music gear are (mostly) comparatively pretty old technology, not cutting edge but it also takes a huge chunk out of the current "cutting edge" chip prices as well. Consequently, I think an FM9 Turbo -...

    Wow @ChristThePhone, thanks for sharing your knowledge! We've certainly got some very smart/interesting people on this forum. Obviously the only way to continue to improve the cooling is to reduce the nm of the architecture, right? I had no idea they were down to 7nm already... But didn't...

    Thanks for the interesting insights, @GlennO, I did not realize Intel had fallen behind, and try to keep up with the market on a very basic level when buying stocks like AMD, Nvidia, etc. Who is Intel's competition besides AMD, and who is leading the cutting edge currently?

    I obviously explained it poorly, but what I meant above as a "massive improvement" is what you said @unix-guy, the quality/authenticity improvement of the modeling algorithms, which is what matters most to the majority of us at the end of the day... Chips are always gonna get faster (and...
