FM3 General Discussion Thread

[Cooper Carter]

I'm using the Axe III and I'm not even on the wait list, but I'm exited that
these are finally rolling out! Maybe I should consider getting a life.

Since no one is reporting getting an invite yet - not even AX8 waitlisters, my guess is that there is still some kind of queue in getting the invites out today, and it's just started. They probably are not all sent out at once. Check back in an hour.

Not sure if M@'s post announcing the FM3 at 1:04pm EST is what were going off of. If so I am at 1:14pm EST.

Thought I was farther down the list actually.

this is coming in handy lately

FM3 is not in the store yet. They must be handling purchases differently than before...?

 

[Kingfishcam]

That is why I asked about a "now serving date". At least we would have an indicator.

Still doing by waitlist application for now.

I guess that the majority of people that in feb-mar of 2019 that were just on the waitlist for the ax8 are not first adopters and maybe moved in another direction or are not as obsessive about the fm3... maybe they're busy making music or something.

Four unknowns in this equation. 1. The number of people on the list. 2. The number of FM3's in the warehouse. 3. The rate at which inventory can be replenished. 4. The proportion of people on the list that have gone in a different direction since going on the list and will decline/not respond to their invitation.

Also the rate of how many they can ship per day.

Right. I know, but haven't waitlist purchases always been directed to the store page with a code?

Edit: I guess they changed that some time ago. I forgot.

None of this is real until the 1st unboxing video...

 

[Sid Raghunandan]

Could be a lot of folks on the AX8 list. I was on the wait list since 3/14/2019 and I have not received an invite yet.

Gosh I got in at 4/9. Looks like I'll be waiting a few more weeks at least. turns down hype parameters

 

[Clockwork Creep]

Also, whether the AX8 waitlist will be served concurrently with FM3 waitlisters , or before . (My guess is the first batch of invites were AX8ers only.)..

Oh that is known.
The ones who were on the AX8 waitlist were ported to the FM3 waitlist.
There is only one waitlist for the FM3 and the AX8 people are first in line.

I'd settle for a photo of the first purchase invite email.

C'mon! Somebody must want bragging rights!

Thanks. If I wanted to JUST use Output 2 into an FRFR power amp and guitar speaker cabinet and not have to insert an Output 2 block in every preset I use, I assume I can just bypass the Cabinet GLOBALLY and have this affect BOTH Output 1 and Output 2 - correct?
.
I further assume there is no way GLOBALLY bypass the Cabinet independently for Output 1 and 2? It seems like this would be a common set-up to have cabinets in Output 1 and no cabinets in Output 2. I know Kemper can do this but i don't see how it can be done in the FM3 globally, only per preset. Putting an Output 2 block in every preset I use would be a total pain.

This is how every product has worked so far.

Bragging rights probably reside with a non-forum person.

The whole batch? Better settle in then, we'll be here a while.
