For those who want left and right amps, how do you achieve it with your FM3?
Do you find the speaker alignment tool is not enough for the delay compensation?You'll need to use an external amp sim, and then make sure the phase is maintained (I use the flanger block for a micro-delay to delay the internal path to match the external path, modulation 0 and mix 100% effect), as the FM3 only has one amp block, so one amp at a time.
Clearly with only one amp block it's not currently possible, but if you wanted dual amps, what would you use? Be creative.That is not achievable with the FM3. Plenty of stereo effects, even Stereo CAB, but not two amps. All stereo imaging must go after the AMP block.

... which will render the price of overall solution too close to FM9!Either upgrade to FM9 and sell the FM3, or add a modeler of other brand at the FX loop of the FM3. Some amp modelers in pedal format are not too expensive (e.g.: NUX, Joyo, Hotone, Mooer, Valeton, Zoom).
Aren't many using two amps because with the real amp you can't get w/d setup without a second amp?My guess is that some famous or respected player said they used two amps, maybe on some favorite record, and that somehow got translated into "I must use two amps to fulfill my destiny", which, uh, no, probably not.
Turn off the amp block and run the 2 outputs into 2 tube amps, and only use it for pre amp effectsClearly with only one amp block it's not currently possible, but if you wanted dual amps, what would you use? Be creative.
Worst case with modern digital gear and only one modeler in the FX loop, total FX loop latency should not exceed 10ms (4 conversions), so with careful panning and cab block input settings it should work fine (as does the flanger, and studio compressor via it's look a-head feature).Do you find the speaker alignment tool is not enough for the delay compensation?
You could capture your FM3 even, effectively using its one amp block more than once. Wouldn't be exactly the same, but probably fairly close.The new tiny Tonex might be cool for this usage?
Why is it important to me?If this was super important to me, I think I'd try to fake the second amp block with a drive, and probably an EQ. There are examples of amp-less rock tones around.
But I think this is the tail wagging the dog. How did a second amp block get to be so important? How did the OP end up with a modeler that doesn't support a feature they think is so critical?

Yes, the ultimate solution and I wish our band had a crew to lug my gear around for me. Till then . . .Turn off the amp block and run the 2 outputs into 2 tube amps, and only use it for pre amp effects![]()
