Hi - new user here, currently awaiting an FM9T. I've no real need for such a beast as only been playing a few years, but as a software engineer by trade I love deep diving into technology and what some might see as overly complex, I see the opposite. As for FM9 vs any of the others? It's amazing what AM4 and FM3 being out of stock will do I've tried a few cheap modellers and just never really loved the sounds so I'm hoping I'll grow into the FM9.

You will get along fine with it, but warning: you can go down many different rabbit holes with these units. I would recommend that you first go through all the factory presets to find what you like and then dissect what makes those presets float your boat. Then set sail on building your own with what you have learned. Any way you go about it, be sure to enjoy it while you play rather than letting it turn into a tweak fest (which it has done to many of us over the years)! Congrats and enjoy ;~))

Hi everyone,

after countless iterations over ~40 years of playing (super amateur) but with a great love for nerding and gear, I came to this (pic)


5 watt class-a self built tube amp in a boogie wide body with a G12H anniv (no issue there)
and via splitter/mixer to GX-100 and TonexOne into JC-22, which still did not satisfy...

So, sold the mixer and JC last week, bought Fullertone Vol 1 and a new interface to try out some computer + studio-monitors playing
will later replace the GX/Tonex for the AM4 and see.

You're gonna love it mate. I gig mine and use it daily and it's a BEAST!

Cheers - had my dispatch notifications and stuff. Really looking forward to it. I mean, typical that the FM3 cleared customs and is available to order today, I knew that would happen, but I'm more than happy with my choice and it's all self-funded by selling other stuff so all good. Now I just need to get the guitar show out of the way at the weekend, then can have a proper dig into it. Not that I'm not looking forward to the guitar show, I am!
