Let's see those FM9 rigs!

Here's mine mounted to a Trio 28. This handles direct as well as a 4C set up with a breakout box and Voodoo Control Switcher to connect to my Fuchs ODS amps the CS fits perfectly under the riser. Open space is yet unplanned but I figured to use it for swapping in fav pedals like the H9 which I love the synth sounds on. The Electro Harmonix pedal is set up to control the level of my output block. It's like having two global solo level controls. There was a really great idea posted here on building one of these from scratch to accomplish this but this pedal does the trick and gives you a second control.

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. :)
Mission accomplished
 
Amazing setup, Zed! You wouldn't happen to be a foster parent?
Not currently. Your timing is good though; My wife and I are actually currently considering whether to pursue adoption.

All that aside, having great gear has unfortunately failed to make me a great player. I keep telling myself that I need to invest in lessons rather than gear but I keep acquiring more cool gear. When I finally get around to becoming a serious player I will be well equipped (or at least that's what I keep telling myself).

Been eyeballing the Trio 28 a bit lately, as it would allow me a little more room to move the FM9 back a row, to make more room for my toes with the under-board switches that live in front of it, and would also give me a bit more space underneath to put stuff neatly in place. It all fits in the Duo 24, but it's very tightly packed under there....
 
Semi-Completed Build Project 03/26/22. May consider separate power source if the below circuit box might fail too quickly.

What’s that?
It's this project from a separate thread:
https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/temple-audio-fm9-build-project.182509/
Just a quick correction, it was the 1950BBS CNC Pro Aluminum Enclosure that we utilized to build the circuit box with, not the previously mentioned 1950BB.

Im guessing that he couldn't find a suitable power cube that would work hence the fabricated one using the box.
Correct. The Vertex Pedalboard Power Supply was too tall to fit correctly underneath the board against the pop-out Duo 34's side panel. So we built a pigtail circuit box from a LoveMySwitches 1950BBS CNC Pro aluminum enclosure and pigtailed the wiring inside.
