How do you power something with the FasLink?

Basically connect the faslink output to a regular XLR cable but instead of the xlr plug you cut it off and solder a normal 9v connector to it. It gives 12v so inside my 3d printed midi controller housing is a buck converter to convert the 12v to 5v so it powers the esp32 safely. Saw WKSmith do it here in this thread on page 73. He gave an explanation on page 74

I've trade my Axe Fx III MK1 for the FM3 +cash , the FM3 is more than I need to play home...
Hope to get the mini tuner with the red line like the AXE3/FM9

Nice board! But open up a little space between your FM3 and your FC-6. You’re blocking a ventilation hole.

Thanks for the heads up. Space now opened. Very much appreciated!

Now your board is even better.

Hi guys, after some analogue years (and an AX8 as a mobile unit for rehearsals) I'm back in the Fractal family with an FM3 board. I use it in the loop of two full stacks in the rehearsal room and it sounds MASSIVE. I can't decide if my Bogner Ecstasy or this thing through the loop of it sounds better... Volume and Whawha are analogue, don't know why but it makes me happy. The 4 additional buttons provide everything I need. Once my FM9 waiting list mail gets in it will be a tough decision as this board fits perfectly in the case and it's so light weight...

That’s a great looking rig! What board and case are you using?

Another party interested in that case and board...

Hey! Which XLR plugs are those? ...
I'm searching some flat XLR plugs and those are pretty hard to find ...

Yet another incarnation. For my purposes (mostly teaching in my home studio), I wanted to be able to access more stuff on the fly - so I added a Dunlop mini volume, Crybaby mini wah, and EHX Pitchfork. This way I can use them with any stock or custom preset. I have a Strymon Big Sky after the FM3 into a Pigtronix Infinity 2 which goes out to power monitor.View attachment 88517

What pedaltrain board is that?

 

[Mo' Fon-Go]

I got some cool newstuff to complete my main board lately. New chad from Boston covers and plexi glass covers. And a pedal board form xts. Some giG’s though will just be the FM3 and an EV-2.

Yes just for presets.

What pedaltrain board is that?

Hi guys sorry for the late reply. It’s a simple gator case I had bought for my AX8. The board is a custom cut piece of hard plastic. I put Velcro tape on top and some rubber feet on the bottom. The ocd switches are working great too.

 

[Mo' Fon-Go]

Yes just for presets.

Do you know about a thread to programming the midi mouse?

Do you know about a thread to programming the midi mouse?

As far as I'm aware the midi mouse isn't programmable. It only performs preset changes. The only thing you need to do would be set the midi channel.
