    Vault V700 or Plano 36

    I have the Temple Audio Duo 34 for the FM9. I am wanting to get a hard case for it and am considering these two options. Looks like the Vault is a bit heavy. Any advice from people that have these?

    Thin, glassy sound first turned on,...

    When I turn on the FM9 (turbo) the preset, doesn't matter which one, sounds thin, glassy, almost like wah engaged. If I switch to another preset and back again, it's gone, preset sounds normal. ???

    Frank Marino tone

    Frank Marino (Mahogany Rush) has one of my fav tones. Esp the Mahogany Rush Live album tone. He is a tech wizard and designed and built his own amps and pedals, so his tone is quite unique. Has anyone created a preset that emulates his tone?

    Satch 'Dream Song' tone

    I love the tone on Satriani's album Wormhole Wizards. It's greasy, juicy, smooth, almost violin like somehow. I had a preset with my AXE II that someone made copying the tone from a song on that album called 'Dream Song'. Does anyone have a preset with that tone for the FM9? I have looked on...

    Wah mystery on one preset,...

    pedal is calibrated. the ball goes all the way to the top, off @ 95. toe down @ 10. I have the exact settings with the wah for all the other presets, and they work perfectly. For some reason, in this one preset, the wah won't shut off when in toe up position.
