hello everyone,
I decided to try using my FM3 with 4cm with my friedman JJ Jr. BTW, it’s an amazing little amp.
I cabled everything up with only the best quality cables (no, they are not hum busters - I have extremely clean power with no ground loops). I triple checked the cabling with the manual - I’m positive it’s correct.
I created the simplest patch - input one wired to output two and input two wired to output one. No efffects. No amps. No cabs. Direct connects between each
I/O set to sum L + R for both outputs.
output two knob is dimed, output one about 5.
What I expect to hear from this setup is my amp. Nothing else. Unfortunately this isn’t the case. what I hear on the clean channel of my amp is this very noticable fizzy sound. Not clean in the slightest. When I use 4cm with my regular pedal board, I get beautiful clean tone as I would expect, so I know theres nothing wrong with the amp.
So, a few questions: 1) how did I eff this up?, 2) if I didn’t eff it up, is there something wrong with the FM3?
I can’t imagine that this is normal operation.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
