"Convince me" / "Teach me" / "School me" ... thread titles always unnerve me slightly as they sound more like a command vs a request to me, but, I move toward annoyance when the command issuer does not at least check in every page or so, to acknowledge the constructive feedback people are taking the time to provide to his/her request. Just sayin'
I guess 4 pages of convincing didn't work.Is the OP gone?
Add an FC6 and put it all on a pice of plywood! that's what I did and it all still fit in the same case I had my AX8! AX8 Rig , FM3 RigI gotta tell ya..... the only response I`d consider is.... "not from my cold dead hands" would I sell my FM3. ;p The only way I`d sell, is if Fractal brings out an AX8 style floor version of the FM3. Got a buddy already waiting for me to sell to him if Fractal gets motivated. ;p
Hello,
TLDR: I am not happy with the tones coming out of my FM3, they sound muddy, boomy bass like, and like they are over in the next room. I am considering selling and going back to amps (Or maybe I am just still a noob). Examples posted in the link.
I play high gain metal and I got an FM3 last year and was really excited to switch over from amps to digital, especially hearing all the amazing reviews and feedback you kind folks get from digital amps. I knew there would be a big learning curve and over the last year, I dove into all the info, manuals, video tutorials, and especially the posts from all the gracious people on this forum, which I truly appreciate. At the end of the day, I can never recreate a sound that I see on a YouTube channel, or something Leon Todd posts, even when I follow it to a "T", it always sounds off. I purchased Cooper Carter's FM3 class and learned a ton there but my tones would never sound exactly like what I saw, even the free presets. I've gone down many paths trying to figure out where the problem may lay (if any), or is this how its supposed to sound? My results with plugins sound better at the end of the day. I've played with all the settings, adjusted the EQ, but was never satisfied. I use a Scarlet Solo, could it be my interface? I have KRK Rokit5s which I know may have a bad rep, but I don't want to be that guy that purchases more $$$ equipment just because something isn't right. I've seen plenty of YouTube videos where musicians use KRKs and it sounds fine.
Here's my signal chain:
Solar guitar with Fishmen Fluence Modern pickups
Mogami 1/4 Cables
FM3
Output 1 has an XLR to 1/4 going to my Scarlett Solo input
Scarlett Solo routes to my MacBook Pro USB
The FM3 also is routed USB to my MacBook Pro
Logic Pro X
Outputs are 1/4 cables routed to L & R KRK speakers
I've tried ditching the Scarlett and just using the FM3 as an interface as well and did not notice a difference.
I know this question has been asked occasionally and I have looked through all those forums and could not produce the results I wanted.
I would love some constructive feedback and am open to anything. As I mentioned, I've only been in the digital world for about a year and it was my quarantine project to to master. Thanks for all the help this forum has produced in the mean time, I appreciate you all!

Winner.Don't sell it
This is as good as the earth being flat and vaccines causing autism.The issue must definitively be on the Mogami cables that the OP mentions. These refined cables require some time to burn-in until they blossom. The process can take up to 500 hours, and audiophiles say that you cannot just run any kind of electric signal though them during that delicate transformation from chrysalis to butterfly, so they create play lists with selected hi-so jazz and delicate deva voices. If you burn them in with trash, the particles may align in a trashy way.
Yikes! Need a training course to use those cables.The issue must definitively be on the Mogami cables that the OP mentions. These refined cables require some time to burn-in until they blossom.

Dammit!! No one told me this. Iāve been suffering with these Mogami cables for a while now. Who knows how many more hours till I see the butterflies, if Iāll see them at all! I donāt even know what āhi-so jazzā is. I feel so stupidThe issue must definitively be on the Mogami cables that the OP mentions. These refined cables require some time to burn-in until they blossom.

The OP said he spent a ton of time reading everything. I was giving him props for that.Effort? He has not even replied to any of the questions and suggestions that have been made in order to help him.
