Let's see those FM3 rigs!

Do you know if the Hotone Ampero Control can cancel the 1+2,3+4 bank switch function ?

Bank functions are not midi controllable...

Please explain this wiring and function. Very cool

I primarily only use three presets that pretty much mirror each other. The difference being one has a phaser, one has a flanger, and one has a tremolo. The buttons on the FM3 are set up to activate the primary effect of the current preset, and launch the other two. For instance, if I am on the phaser preset, one button will activate the phaser, while the other two will either take me to the flanger preset or the tremolo preset.
The AirStep is set up for scenes 1-4 with the 5th button serving as a tap/tuner. I use the the expression pedal inputs on the AirStep with the Mission SP1(the toe switch to toggle between Volume and Wah).
For the Dual Switch, switch 1 is my lead boost and switch 2 is my ray gun (I tend to lean on it WAY more than I should!! But it sounds so cool.).
For the MXR Taps, one activates my ambient preset, and the other activates my synth preset. I don't really use these that often. But I figure it's better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it.
The mini toggle switch is for the LED lights under the board.
I have been meaning to try @Doogz OMG5 layout set, to see if I can get it to work for me. I haven't been able to find the time yet. But if it does, I could free up some real estate by getting rid of the AirStep.

I say go for it! Happy to help tweak too ... I have Version Two nearly ready

What is in the ray gun?

This is my current rig. FM3 + FC6

I'm currently using a Seymour Duncan PS170 but I'm planning to buy a Fryette PS2 or PS100 and keep the SD as a backup unit (very portable, less than 1kg).

The cabs are high quality clones of the famous Bogner Cube 1x12.
One is loaded with a Celestion V30 T4335 Mesa OEM and the other with a Celestion Creamback H75.

It sounds amazing.

i also play Ibanez through a PS200 and single 112 cab on small gigs - the best portable rig ever!

The ray gun is the Steve Stevens trick that uses the synth block. I learned it back in the Axe FX 2 days, and just always carried it over as I upgraded equipment (AX8 and now FM3). Since my band only played Rebel Yell, I didn't see a need for attaching it to an expression pedal for varying speeds.

My little rig that I love. I have my Dutch made “do-all” tele (Kauffman) and FM3 + FC6. In the picture I use the effects loop of my Koch amp, but I switched the Koch with a Laney LFR112. But the be honest, Iplay in-ear most of the time.

I have been search for a hardcase and found a pretty cheap one on a Dutch webshop: https://www.vidaxl.nl/e/vidaxl-hard...-2jp-Rs7Lu0HTydHP5FHkuuULwlh35PQaAoULEALw_wcB

Took advantage of having to send my FM3 off to have the display replaced (shout out to GU66 for great customer service) and streamlined my board. Slightly changed the layout, removed the power takeoff on the Faslink, rationalised the wiring, added midi interface and tin to keep plectrums safe. Also saved over 1kg in weight by replacing my old Headrush expression pedal with a Hotone Ampero II Press (should have done that when it got the board but to tight). Still wondering about moving the wireless receiver from the tray underneath into the space just above the Hotone occupied by the tin and transmitter charger, but want to see if that will be in the way of my size 9’s first. On the whole pretty happy with the result.
