No, just an accurate fact round here!
Not yet no! I reckon at least another week before we hear anything.
Me too, but it's very possible...
With what feature? Larger screen letters?
Not a chance. This is going to be a great time to get the FM9. I only wish we could make enough to satisfy the global demand. It's still very tough going in the world of electronics manufacturing.
That’s comforting to know! And when a mkII would come along later I probably won’t have much trouble finding a new owner for the current version.
No official claim. I just asked on this forum who received the email concerning the August batch. Somebody who entered the list in late Oct ’21 got the email but nobody who entered the list in Nov ‘21.
Yeah!
Does that mean I now have to upgrade to the turbo version of the Axe as well they won't match lol
Well, hello and welcome to the Fractal worldHi all, I'm new here so be gentle
I've been scouring the forums and checking in daily to see if anyone has heard anything new from G66 re: FM9 wait-list.
Conscious some of you are waiting some time for an invite. I'm also in two minds as to whether the FM9 or the FM3 is the Fractal for me. I'm tempted to hold out and wait and see but hauling a 35KG combo to gigs is proving more and more difficult
Is there any indication as to whether the full FM9 wait list will be cleared down with the August shipment or am I just kidding myself?
The FM3 is a great product, it should cover my needs as a guitarist but that extra core and power is tempting. My band mate has the Axe III and FM3 and all I can say after a demo is WOW!
I was asking myself the very same question as whether to go for the FM3 or FM9. so I went for the FM3. It will have enough computational power to satisfy your needs, but you might need to be a little careful with too extensive scenes in a preset. But it will manage without any issues, it sounds great when sent into the PC or directly out or fed into the power amp. It's just great. The FM9 will let you jam as I believe it should have the I/O to process two different instruments at once. So, the FM9 is a very nice extra step. But so is the FM3 against almost everything. So, thats about it and sorry for a little offtopic.
It seems it will be 2399€ though
Seems my first post crossed over - this is good news. Hoping there's enough to go round! Fingers crossed!
I really hope you're wrong ;-) - I only joined the waitlist in July so let's see how many FM9 Turbos land in Europe.
The struggle is real!! I feel your pain. I play in 2 bands and my own rig is relatively small in one band but the guitarist in a grunge covers band I play with was running a RoadKing w/ 212 mesa cab and a roadster 212 combo in a wet/dry set up. Sounded HUGE but man.... those load ins / load outs were fun!I can totally imagine the need for something smaller as I was carrying an amp plus 212 cab, and when you don't have a van, the rest of the band is not happy as the place is quite limited. And when I switched to Ultra with Mesa 50/50, I had to carry even larger cab and a rack... no good
Leon Todds videos are great for this - he is really good at getting the most out of the FM3 with a bit of thought
