FM9 rig ready to go.

Thanks to RCM78 for inspiration!

The magnets on the FIX pedalboards bridge will pinch your finger off if you're not careful!

Did you remove the end caps from the FM9? I'm having a slight issue with not being able to consistently activate the #6 button because my foot also hits the raised end cover. I have button toppers on the buttons to give me a bigger target but half the time the button still doesn't activate. I'd like to remove the plactic end pieces but I didn't know how that all goes together.

I did remove them to tighten up pedal spacing so as to stay within the roadcase footprint.

Good to know! Are they separate from the actual metal end caps?

The ends come off easy. Unscrew, remove plastic ends, replace screws.

I store the ends in the original box for safe keeping.

They are separate and removeable from the metal chassis.

I like that. Similar to mine but might be lighter weight. I'm gonna have to look into the Fix Pedalboards stuff.

What's with the back panel/grate on the bridge? I don't see that as an option on their website.

The screen is to fill an empty 19" rack space. I had it laying around, so I velcroed it to the back.

They should make a panel made just for that, I bet it would sell.

Interesting. I have a rack panel I'm using for my current setup. Might have to go this route. Thanks.

"The Paul"!! My dream guitar growing up! Simple and beautiful! Nice rig!

Thanks! I bought the guitar new in 1979 after someone broke into my apartment and stole my SG and my amp. It's the guitar I always play and will always keep. It's the guitar I'm playing in my avatar pic (back around 1980). It's stock except for the speed knobs. A couple of the original knobs broke. Who would think a knob would break? I had to buy a complete set because I couldn't find ones exactly like the original ones.

Nice! Does that Peavey provide enough power in a band?

That guitar was based on this guitar which (supposedly) is why Gibson purchased Epiphone back in the day. This is my first guitar but I always wanted to "update" it to the Paul.

It's 100W. I bought it to use with the FM9 so I could still use amp modeling. I got it used for cheap on the shopgoodwill.com auction site. I was lucky. Everything on it seems to work.

I haven't had an opportunity to really crank it yet. Playing in my garage it is plenty loud and I barely have it cracked.

Where did you get the end caps/bumpers for the OCD from?

Where did you get the end caps/bumpers for the OCD from?

Was wondering if anyone would notice those. I got them as spare parts from Fractal:

https://shop.fractalaudio.com/repair-service-misc-parts/

Choose Side Panel For FC6/12 (L&R sold separately). The side panels do not come with screws (which are really small bolts). If you ask for them they will include them in your order. Since the OCD box is plastic I drilled small holes and screwed the screws in. If you can find small screws that are same size and black, those might work better screwing in than the bolts.
