I just got my hands on the FM3 earlier this week. I’m coming from HX Stomp and VST amp sims. I’ve been trying to balance setting up the unit and playing through the unit.
I’m doing a lot of searching on the forum’s old threads to figure out how to set up switches. I thought I was mainly going to use the FM3 for amp tones only, but have been enjoying playing around with the effects and switching.
I’ve been pretty much parked on the Plexi 50W High 1 and building a preset off that since I got the FM3. The Metal Panel Marshall models are a nice change of pace from the Helix models that I’ve been playing through.
I have a DIY 68 Plexi build that I added switches for common mods, and love playing around with the advanced parameters to mimic those mods. I’ll be looking to try to emulate amp’s typical for fun and to save tube life.
I was blown away by the extensive amount of IRs in the FM3. I’ve been on the hunt for IRs to use with my 5F2A and 5E3 builds, and I’m definitely going to browse all of the small cab IRs.
I’ve been listening through headphones and monitors so far. I am looking forward to playing through my PS170 power amp and cabs. I’ve enjoyed playing through my own IRs of those cabs so far, but want to experience the amp in the room sound with the FM3.
I’m going to be doing some home recording through USB with the FM3. I set the manual latency offset to 1168 samples with my PC setup at 128 sample buffer and reamp just fine. I noticed that the FM3’s main input level is 1.5dB lower than my HX Stomp’s input, so I can still use my old DI tracks with a minor level adjustment.
I think I’m done buying guitar gear for a while. Exploring the FM3 is going to keep me occupied for a while.
