Hi guys,
I think for my purpose (just home studio playing) I have decided on the FM3 over the AF3. I was initially concerned that maybe the dual amps would make a big difference, but from what I gather its more of a subtle thing that doesn't make a massive benefit in tone. I'm not after huge presets or any specific tone, just a good high gain alive satisfying tone (duh, right?) .
Anyway, what kind of results can one expect just plugging strait into the FM3 and going strait out the headphone jack on the FM3 ? I have Sennheiser HD650's (300 ohm impedance). I also have powered FRFR 8" monitors when I want to make some noise. I would plug these in the XLRs out on rear of the FM3.
from what I see online most of the "pro" guys dont use it this way - rather they run it into some power amp with extra stereo power cabs etc etc. It seems they are not satisfied until they use this kind of (expensive) setup. I'm just trying to keep my expectations realistic, and if necessary budget for more gear. We all want that " DAMN THAT SOUNDS GOOD" factor, and I'm just trying to make that happen as easily as possible.
thanks for any recommendations. Also if anyone could share their current setup they are happy with I'd love to hear about it.
