Fantastic! That PRS - swoon
Nice video Tim - I think, it really showcases how much easier the front panel of the FM3/III is to navigate than the AX8 was. It just flows.
The flow is very smooth - it’s identical to the AxeFX III.
To me, the thing that stands out so much is how little tweaking you have to do get good tones.
That is also true. But I also found that with the AX8. There were always things to explore, but getting a good sound was always fairly easy.To me, the thing that stands out so much is how little tweaking you have to do get good tones.
I found it surprising just how much I like having the FM3 on a desk when working with it. Ergonomics are incredibly nice.When I tried the prototype at Axe-Fest I found it a tad easier to tweak, due to the form factor and it feeling more like a traditional pedal or desktop mounted unit.
Thanks for sharing this video Tim!
It's interesting cuz you also get an idea of the CPU usage for the various blocks, but the percentages seems somewhat weird compared to what I'm used to in other fractal devices.
For example, it looks like the chorus block takes up ~8% while the drive block only 5% (same as the input block)??
Different drive types use different CPU like in all other gear. Some are around 5, most are around 8-9 or so.Thanks for sharing this video Tim!

You mean other than amp and cab?Honestly, I wasn't really paying attention to CPU usage. It can be a little tricky to follow because some blocks run on the second DSP.
Yes I get that, but IIRC all drive types use more cpu than the chorus block on the axe III.Different drive types use different CPU like in all other gear. Some are around 5, most are around 8-9 or so.
