The last several weeks I've been taking my FM3+FC-6 and a pair of Electro-Voice PXM-12MP to a local jam, where I've been playing through them for three hours a night, with a blues, jazz, neo-soul, R&B group.
I'm using a couple presets I put together or modified, one's my spin on my ToneKing Imperial Mk II, another is my spin on my LoneStar Special, and then an ODS-type last Monday. The first two are my remaining tube combos and I'm very happy with their sound, and I'm happy with the presets I'm using as they sound and feel like the amps. I don't have an ODS, but I ran the preset all night last Monday and feels really good too. I much prefer being able to control the amp from the guitar's volume control, and the FM3 responds to the guitar and my picking really well. I have a Mesa Mk IV preset I've been tweaking which will be on deck next Monday. I expect it'll sound great with my PRS Studio or DGT.
I've been really happy with the sound and the responsiveness of the FM3, my tweaked OMG9, and the EVs. With the EVs on their channel 1 set to 0db and the second monitor EQ setting, and the FM3 on OUT 1 at +4db with the knob at about 1PM, I'm easily holding my own with the rest of the house band, including another guitar next to me using a Fender Twin Tone Master or a Hot Rod Deluxe. I often pull back the volume to balance with him so having the power and the option of stereo output is always nice. I haven't needed to adjust the EQ on the FM3 or the presets at all, it just sounds good.
It's simple, it works, it sounds really nice.
