    Just bought some EV PXM - 12MP’s

    Long time I had discuessions with my band mates (Rock Cover) that my guitar sound is not punchy and has no balls. I used to use a Dynacord AXM12 which is similar to EV pxm12. I had it as a wedge in front of me. Now I ordered a pxm12 additionally and have both of them stacked behind me, wow, it...

    Bad sound through FRFR

    Try with different Marshall amps that you are familar with first and combine with different cabs, 4x2 would be a good starting point ;-) Set the high cut filter in cab settings to ~7kHz (default 20kHz).

    How to activate Tuner

    From FM3 I know that the tempo switch also activates the tuner, this option seems to not exist in FM9, or is it on any other switch than tempo?

    Best way to protect the fm9

    a) You could leave the FM9 in the back of the stage and place a cheap Midi-Floorboard instead at the front b) a big transparent plastic bag or cling film, doesnt look nice but will protect from those nasty things while you still can operate the FM9 ;-)
