Distance between OMG9 Devices

Is it okay to have the FC6 directly next to the FM3, or should there be some space for the air vents?

There should be some space between them.

In general, you never want to block vents.

If there’s a reason you need to have them up against each other, you might be able get away with it by adding fans to exposed sides to pull air through both units. If you want to go down that route (I wouldn’t… it’s a lot of bulk and complexity just to not have an inch between the units, but I’m not you), I’d recommend asking Fractal support if they can evaluate detailed plans of exactly what you wanting to do.

For context: I’d like to put the OMG9 on a pedalboard (+ an EP).

You don’t want to put fans on the side vents pulling air out. That would work against the built-in fan at the bottom vent that’s pulling air in the opposite direction.

Leave an inch of space between them.

Rockboard Tres 3.3 seems to be perfect for the job.
