    Question re: FM3 & mono FRFR

    What combination of Output 1 Mode and panning do I need to produce the "entirety" of the mono signal? (Meaning what you'd hear if you were playing the real amp through a traditional cab). I'm running one TRS cable from left OUT1 on the FM3 to input 1 on my PXM-12MP. I'm not using any stereo...

    Wish Amp Model: Jumped AC30C2 with the normal and top boost channels "jumped" into a single channel

    It would be great to have a model of the AC30C2 "Jumped" together. IE You jump the Hi of the top boost to Lo of the Normal channel with a 1/4" cable, or vice versa. A way I have run the amp for years myself. AC30's being notoriously "single" channel amps it would be great to have this variant...

    What do you think of what this guy said?

    Quick little background. I play in a southern/classic rock band. I was using a Friedman Dirty Shirley 40W but it couldn't really nail the cleans I needed for some songs, so I bought an FM3. I bought the Cooper Carter tutorial but found that I have a tin ear and I am not good at tweaking so I...

    Hello! I'm considering an external footswitch for my FM3. My options are the Ampero dual and EHX triple-foot switches. I've noticed the Ampero's capability of handling both tap and hold functions. However, I couldn't find anything on the EHX's capabilities. Will the 3rd switch be...

    The AOGHAU sessions. Thats an unprocessed, live guitar tone being tracked, and even through a mobile phone recording it sounds sick. I think he's plugged into the white EVH 5150 III. The closest I got to this is through this Hybrid Theory tone guide on G66 which works surprisingly well for...

    Upgrade All Presets utility

    I have an FM3 and FM9. When I got the latest beta update for FM3, I used "Upgrade All Presets" in the Setup > Utilities menu. When I installed the latest firmware on FM9, I wanted to do the same, but didn't find it on FM9. Does it mean that everything is already upgraded?
