How does virtual capo sound? I’ve never tried it

Sounded great for Leon!

As if anything ever didn’t sound great for Leon...

You got the social distancing down

Yep. We were careful to be about 10 feet apart on stage, only 4 of us. And no more than a couple people in the booth. Everyone was spread out. We've done that for 3 weeks now, but likely this is the last for a while until this thing passes.

Thanks Unix...the patch I had was labelled as such....so I thought thats what is was for.
Will try the Virtual Capo. Are the AFX3 guys using this ?
Cheers.

Yes.

It is usable. The detune is good. I dont hear and warbles or artifacts at 1/2 step down. At this point I still prefer the Digitech "The Drop" pedal. To me the impact to the sound quality is more from the Virtual Capo.

Really cool, I remember once upon a time I did an audition walked into a big building and the walked through a private basketball court to a 20 x 40' audition room..

My FM3 came in yesterday... and it found its way on my Temple Audio 24 Duo board today. Loving it!

More info on my rig:

Board: Temple Audio Duo 24

On top:
1. Line 6 relay G70 wireless reciever
2. Dunlop Volume X (for expression switch)
3. Darkglass Hyperluminal Compressor (amazing compressor by the way...)I am primarily a bassist, and this is normally used for bass. But it can be plugged in to computer and changed to guitar mode or bass mode. It is a hybrid anolog/digital compressor. Very cool gear.
4. Zoom momementay footswitch. For quick mute/tune. Nothing special, just one I already had laying around.

Underneath:
1. Furman AC215 power conditioner
2. Generic LED strip off Amazon. USB powered.
3. USB power hub. It powers my wireless, compressor, led lights, and provides 5v USB power to my side panel. Note: I use a USB 5v to normal barrel type 9v converter cable to get the proper voltage to the compressor pedal. (Works great, and no noise)

Side panel:
1. Temple Audio power module. It feeds AC power to the Furman. Allows me to plug one IEC power cable on side and turn everything on with one switch.
2. USB port. Provides 5v power only. For charging my iPad. I usually set it next to my board with setlist and notes.
3. One xlr port. I have this routed to my Left (Main) output on the FM3. That way my FM3 XLR port doesn’t get the wear and tear of XLR going in and out after everytime I move it. I only do a mono feed normally. 99% of time I just run mono to FOH.

All cables were assembled/soldered by me. I bought supplies at Redco.com.

Also, here is a shot from the underside.

Mine arrived today, should I contact support about this thing I found in the box that wasn't on my invoice?

Maybe that's the new CT9 that Fractal has not announced I suspect they shipped you their prototype by mistake, I'd recommend that you don't step on it may hurt your ears!

I was originally going to go with a Pedaltrain Classic 1 but I have that same Furman and really like your setup. I noticed the new Duo 24's come with only one support bar on the bottom. Can you purchase a second one separately?

Thanks!

An FM-3, a cat and a lava lamp. Who said quarantine can't be fun?

for the record, I'm particularly fond of doctor who's tardis, but originally didn't want to draw attention to it

You missed the TARDIS. He's not actually staying at home.

Thinking about trying a different approach with my FM3.

Instead of having it on a pedalboard with my FC-6 or FC-12 I think I’m going to use it like I would my Axe-Fx III and set it on top of my FRFR’s on the backline and just run my FC-12 out to the front of stage with me.

Basically all the functionality of my Axe III rig but in a smaller more portable option. The FM3 will be perfect for my out of town shows.

Nice to have options......and big ones

Why not just us your AX3 then?
