Announcing the New FM9 Amp Modeler/FX Processor

[AJ Vargas]

Ignored the first time so asking again: Will the FM9 have the same Pitch block as the AXE III out of the box?

So far I see it only supports one Pitch Block, just like the FM3... Hopefully the same as the AFX III

Looks like my brother is getting a lightly used FM3 for Christmas. The FC-6 will stay with my Axe III though.

This is also assuming the waitlist moves fast enough.

 

[blackmoreguitar]

Amazing.

How do I buy/join wait list in the UK.

Thanks!

See post 70; waitlist@g66.eu ; I emailed with FM9 in the subject and got a thank you for joining the waitlist reply. A few minutes before that I had also emailed G66 and asked if they would put me on the waitlist, so I hope I am covered

 

[LizzyD]

Hell yeah! Added to the waitlist before I even finished reading the specs. Congrats FAS - sweet spot product indeed!

Amazing. So sizewise Im assuming its an FM3 and a FC6 next to each other?

Yep.

Same dimensions as the FC-12

Well, I'm in!

Right, the question is whether the FM9 has the same Pitch Block algorithms as the AXE III Pitch Block.

Wow, 34 minutes of not getting your question answered is "ignored" now?

If you check out Brett Kingsmans video of the Fm9 he clicks into Eb tuning while playing and it sounded very good to me. I can’t say for sure but it sounded better than the fm3 pitch block

 

[AJ Vargas]

On Expression Jacks: Three, each supports one pedal or one switch

So no support for dual-switches (i.e. Mosky Dual Switch) like the FM3???

(definitely not a deal breaker, but a bummer if true nonetheless)

 

[Paulg2uk]

Extra output, Dual amp blocks and a headphone jack! Just those are enough for me to upgrade from the FM3 I'm in!. I'd still put it on a separate board and connect an FC6 or a 12 with it just cause I can lol.

It's gonna be a while till we get them in Europe but it will definitely be worth the wait! Congrats guys it's gonna be a very popular model that's for sure!

 

[FullThrottle64]

Nice addition to the lineup. At this price point and performance level, with 3 Ins and 3 Outs, I think this will obsolete a few competing products.

I'm not sure it's quite enough to get me to change from the Axe-FX 3, but I might well have gone this route to begin with had it been available.

 

[ruso]

Congratulations @FractalAudio and team. You guys knocked it out of the park yet again. Compared to other floor modelers at this price point, this is definitely a no-brainer!

Wondering why there is no volume/controller pedal on board? Seems like a missed opportunity. I LOVE the sound of this thing and would consider FM9 to replace my Helix. But I really don't want to carry extra pedals.

No, having Cliff and Matt answer numerous other questions posted after mine but not the simple question I asked is being ignored. But thanks for counting.

 

[vika12]

This is awesome! Thanks Fractal! You've added the key ingredients and at a very fair price! I'm getting on the wait list.

And I remember in the earlier Helix days how many units were sent back because of faulty EPs.

And I just told my wife I don't need any more gear for a while...

Might be a cold winter coming up. I'm in. Looks like it removes every FM3 limitation, and then some.

My board won't hold an FM9 and FC6, but I think I'll put the FC6 next to it on the floor. Very exciting!
