Amen!
I’ve been using the FM3 for musicals for a couple of years and it is absolutely perfect. It has a small foot print, it’s direct out so it keeps the sound guy happy and you have total control of your volume without altering the tone which keeps everyone else in the pit happy lol. I’m actually booked to do Mean Girls next spring too. The songs sound like a lot of fun so it should be a blast. How did you use your FM3 for Mean Girls? Did you use different presets for each song or did you use one preset with different scenes? I’m just trying to see if I can borrow some ideas and maybe use my FM3 more efficiently lol.
From the best i can remember, I used different scenes which seemed to work really well. The material covered a wide range of tones from Ambient, Jazzy clean to dirty rock type sounds. The FM3 will do it in a single preset, so long as you keep a good eye on economy in a kitchen sink preset. STOP! Might be one of the hardest songs I had to learn, like ever. Took about 10 hours of practice/learning to really get it. Here is a little video of me learning (more like me getting dragged around the meter!) it in my cave with the AXEFXIII. I didnt play this guitar for the show, it was just my basement guitar in reach at the time.
