USB audio: all of a sudden--> no sound

I've had my FM9 hooked up in a format that works for me for several months. No unhooking of any cables or moving the unit around. Today, for whatever reason, no sound is being passed through USB to Out2 which is where my nearfields are hooked up. I have sound through output 1 (I can hear music...

Rush - Alex Lifeson

I thought I'd post my take on a FM9 preset that covers some older era Rush. I use either a super strat style with Duncan JB in the bridge or a Les Paul. This preset works for FRFR on out 1, nearfields on Out 2 and (no IR) direct out to a power amp and guitar cab for Out 3. Enjoy...

FM9: screw size for rubber end bumper/feet?

I happened to be down on the floor, putting my FM9 on my pedal board and I noticed that the screws on the front of the unit, at each end, are missing. I have never opened or modified the unit in any way and I would like to obtain the proper size screws to replace. Does anyone have that info...

Acoustic guitar sound hole pickup issue

I bought a sound hole pickup to place in my old Gibson acoustic guitar. I plugged the 1/4" cable from that to the Input 2 on the FM9 running a signal chain of Input2-->vol block-->comp1-->GEQ1-->Cab1-->Output 1-->CLR Neo Mk2. I also had a delay and a reverb in parallel, after the cab but before...

hearing a sort of "stiffness" or "hardness" in FM9 tones

I've noticed this more since updating to latest firmware/beta. Curious what anyone else does to compensate for this. Looking around the wiki/manual it seems there are some Bias and Bias Excursion options that can be tweaked. The explanations are somewhat tedious to read through for what each...

FM9 locked up while switching Cabs

I used my guitar to record a 10 second loop on my FM9 for the purposes of auditioning various cabs. I found that switching between cabs has resulted in the FM9 locking up while generating a very loud, continuous tone. The tone sort of reminded me of the sound generated by old Win PCs when they...

Layouts: saving and importing into presets

I’m unsure if this is normal behavior in the FM9. Say I tweak a preset with my own layouts and even throw in some Per Preset switch over rides. Now, I export those layouts with custom names. Next, I build a new preset but decide I want it to have the same Custom layout(s) I just made and saved...

FM9: routing USB audio to nearfields and guitar to PA wedge?

I've been looking at the manual and not sure if there is a way to do this. I would like to be able to route signal as follows: 1. usb audio (youtube video, mp3, etc) and guitar to Atomic CLR wedge and nearfield monitors, or 2. usb audio only to nearfields (no guitar) and guitar only to Atomic...

FM3 locking up.

I've been searching online and I see that there have been some reports here about the latest firmware and potential for random lock-ups. My situation might be a little different as I am attempting to build a preset from scratch with the FM3-edit via Mac. I can successfully place an Input and...

AxeFx Ultra: can it be readily controlled via midi by Helix (3.11)?

I've been looking around the AxeFX WIKI, google searching online, etc.I haven't really found much about the older units being MIDI controlled by the current or at least later Helix firmware. Presumably as they both have the right in/outs, it will work but I am wondering if perhaps anyone has a...

Clapton Tweed Twin.....?

I've been using and liking the Keith Urban twin model in my AX8 but was wondering (looking around) about whether or not one could make some changes to the KUTT sim and make it more like the ECTT model. Anyone have any pointers on that? I'm not really certain what the circuit differences would be...

AX8: Small interface to computer?

Right now, in order to practice with songs or play back any music while I play guitar/bass, I have an inexpensive Presonus Audiobox USB 2in/2out recording interface. I'm interested in what others are using as their small(!) interface for the AX8 for recording and practice/jamming purposes. I am...

Focal vs JBL vs ? (Thoughts for guitar and bass)

I'm looking hard at the Focal Alpha series and the JBL LSR432x series. Not really sure whether the 6" vs 8" would be better for me. I'm in a 22' x ~8' space, untreated but with multiple (full) bookshelves, rug on the floor, on a crawlspace and with 8' ceiling and multiple windows. The reason...

AxeFx: Standard vs AxeFx II

Out of curiosity, for those that have OWNED both, would you say that the original standard is just a pale shadow of the current iteration of the Axe-Fx? Or, would you say that the Standard is still awesome but maybe only, say, 90% (or 75%?) of the level of awesomeness of the current Axe-Fx Mark...
