I'm a new to the FM9, was on the wait list 6 or 7 months and it just arrived this past Monday. I have two potentially related questions.
Question 1:
Question 2:
What I have tried:
Thanks so much for any help! I'm excited about using this, but I can't get passed these Input and Output issues.

Question 1:
Why can't I peak ("tickle the red")? My guitar is not junk. It's a 1989 Fender HM Strat. Original, no modifications or issues. I've had the input up to 85-90% with the Gain trim at 50% and no peaking. I've had 75% input and 75% input gain and still no peaking. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
Question 2:
Why I am not getting anything out from the XLR-Out-1-L or only from the 1/4" Out-1 to the P.A.?
What I have tried:
- Used the quick setup and also read the manual - I read the sections related to:
- The ways to setup for the truest respect to guitar frequency response - so I'm using the P.A.
- Setting input levels on Guitar IN1
- Setting output levels
- I've plugged mics into the XLR cables to the P.A. and and I get sound.
When I first pulled the FM9 out I tried the above (but still couldn't peak the Input). I didn't have my P.A. available. I used a Piano amp since it can handle a full range on the piano,999uoi used a 1/4 cable to the return and I could hear and adjust the IN1 and Out1. The setup just wasn't doing justice to the presets. When I switched to the P.A. with XLR - XLR that all went away.
Lastly, one issue I haven't resolved from the FM9 Manual (pg. 5) is where the "Meters" page is. I press the Home button but there is no "Meters" page. The instructions are as follows: "Output levels are easy to monitor by paging to the Meters page of the Home page."Thanks so much for any help! I'm excited about using this, but I can't get passed these Input and Output issues.
