Added some XLR output extensions to keep those soundguys from yanking on my FM9 outputs.
They run mono, live.
Great rig!Finished up my new FM9-based rig. Goal was to have the ultimate "do everything....and do it all well" board that could work on a big stage or just plugged into a crappy coffee house PA:

FM9 does most of the heavy lifting. Boss SY-200 is in Out 2. Out3 is the main guitar signal in stereo, and toggled on/off with a Control Switch so that it's not in the main signal path if I'm not looping. The SY-200, Out3 (in stereo) and an optional acoustic (from side Templeboard input) all go into the GigMix 4-1 to merge everything. GigMix and the VE-500 (mic input from side Templeboard input) go the RC-500 for looping, then back to the FM9 at In3. In3 is always on, so that everything I mentioned above can get into the FM9 even if I'm not looping.
In2 is for stereo input of my Roland Workstation, so that I can play along with sequenced tracks and everything goes out the Main Out1 L/R in stereo.
FM9 sends MIDI messages to everything per scene, so I can for example add harmony to vocals when I switch a Scene from Verse to Chorus. RC-500 handles the Tempo duties, keeping the SY-200, VE-500, and Workstation in MIDI sync.
And I have a Line 6 G10s on there for wireless.
Complicated....but the ultimate Swiss Army Knife.
Yea I'm just running bass and vocals thru the Fm9, so no need for stereo output.
Really love this and thank you for writing back! Sorry to bother you more but do you have some pictures of how it looks when you are ready to go? Just trying to get an idea. I have a similar set up (not as niceTHANKS!
I was coming from a Helix (Rack, then Floor, then back to Rack) so I was used to the extra footswitches and absolutely needed the extra I//O.
Its a Templeboard Trio 28. So I have a Gator TSA 30x20x8 case for it. Fits great width-wise and gives me extra space depth-wise for a folding guitar stand, mic stand, and cables. Height-wise it's perfect and nothing bounces around. It's heavy, but the case has those nice ergonomic handles that makes it easier. I still might add-on wheels for a little more ease.
So really all I need to take to a gig (with a PA already present) is the case and a double guitar case with whatever 2 guitars I want to use that gig. If I'm doing synth duty as well...then I also bring a Roland FA-06 and stand for that. But all connections go into the board. So I don't need to harass the sound person with lines for my board, mic, synth, etc. Just stereo feed from the FM9 and done. I handle all the mixing on my side.
) but the board is not all set up. I have to take it out of the rolling case hand then have to set it up. I am hoping to find something that I can plop down, all set up, and then put back into the travel case and away I go. I too use a dual guitar gig bag and right now it all is very manageable but does need more set up when I get to the show.

Yes there's no way I could use those expression pedals like that. What size shoe you wearing when using that thing?
Very nice. I’ve been looking for XLR boxes like that and in/out port plugs but can’t seem to find online. Can you tell where you sourced them? Thanks!
Honestly not too tough. Biggest issue is that I would have loved ONE more dedicated "loop" like Out/In 3. I had to use Out 2 (which is XLR only) going to the SY-200...so that meant an XLR > TS cable. And I wanted an angles XLR so it wasn't sticking out the back of the FM9 too much. Then its TS out of SY to the GigMix. It's a mono unit, so it's just panned center.
