Got my FM3 today and its AWESOME but I am confused on what settings should be changed on the FM3 when running into a separate power amp (for example SD170 or Fryette PS-2) into a traditional guitar cab. I know that the CAB BLOCK needs to be disabled and POWER AMP modelling is to remain on....my questions are regarding the more advanced specific settings on the FM3.
I have seen posted in this forum (regarding the AxeFX III) that you should do the following:
Amp Block: Speaker tab: turn off both HF and LF Resonance
Amp Block: Speaker Drive tab: set Speaker Drive, Compression, and Compliance to 0
I have also seen on TGP a post where Cliff responded to:
Change OUTPUT MODE in the ADVANCED settings in the AMP BLOCK from FRFR to SS PWR AMP + CAB.
Where I am confused is there are numerous LF and HF RESONANCE parameters in the AMP BLOCK Speaker settings (LF RESONANCE FREQ, LF RESONANCE Q, LF RESONANCE, HF RESONANCE FREQ, HF RESONANCE, HF SLOPE). I do not see a way to turn these off (only turn them down) and unsure which ones should be turned down.
Also the instructions by Cliff on TGP seemed to me to suggest if you change the OUTPUT MODE in the ADVANCED settings in the AMP BLOCK from FRFR to SS PWR AMP + CAB then this would essentially take care of all the above BUT I noticed if I do this the LF & HF settings do not change and are still active in the AMP BLOCK/SPEAKER PAGE.
I can tell a difference when adjusting parameters within the LF & HF Resonance settings but there is no audible difference at all when just changing from FRFR to SS PWR AMP + CAB in the ADVANCED settings in the AMP BLOCK.
The FM3 manual only suggests to change in the AMP BLOCK from FRFR to SS PWR AMP + CAB when using a neutral power amp and traditional cab....but as mentioned above there is no audible difference when doing that and all the LF HF Resonance remain active in the Speaker settings.
Anyone out there know the exact settings that should be turned on, off or down or switched when using
Sorry this is so long but on a total side note my FM3 was delivered today and was supposed to be delivery only with a signature....the UPS guy just dropped it off on the porch and left. Luckily I was home and heard something outside. I live in a good neighborhood but still WTH?
Thanks guys!
