How do you run your outputs?

[Tremonti]

How are you all running the output controls on the top of FM3 with something in the effects loop? Full up on both? Advise please. Thanks!

Output 2 is meant to hit unity gain at full open (ie: cranked all the way there's 0db attenuation of the output signal). Check the manual for running outboard gear on page 37.

There's also this little blurb on page 2:



And this little blob on page 5:



etc

The manual mentions it bout 10-12 times. TL;DR: The manual is your friend (Not trying to be snarky, a lot of people tend to skip the manual, and there's tons of good information in there. Well worth an afternoon digging into it).

for 4CM, setup as specified in manual;

• knob 2 is 100%,
• knob 1 is used as a master volume, 26% at rehearsal, 30% at gigs. (thanks digital readout!)
