I just received my FM9, upgrading from the FM3. I have an OBEL (onboard effects loop) equipped guitar with a preamp circuit as well. I have been using the non-OBEL guitar output to the FMs. With the 3, the signal was low and sometimes noisy, but I could use it. Guitars without the OBEL were fine. When the FM9 arrived, my signal disappeared after about 30 minutes. I switched guitars everything was fine. I use a HubBub on the pedal board when using amps. I'm thinking of using it in front of the FM9, but just the amp out, not the loop. I don't think the loop is necessary
. If that experiment works, I will add to this post. Meanwhile, has anyone had any experience with a situation like this? I'm fortunate to have a few fine instruments, but my number 1 is sidelined unless I can resolve my predicament. I figure it is user error on my part, so I am asking for advice. As an aside, I set up a two amp setup like I hd in my heavy metal days, Marshall 2204 half stack and Fender Silver face joined through a stereo chorus (Ibanez purple box) fronted by a TS9 with each amp having a different echoplex in front of it. Those were my sound sculpting days
. Anyway, Carumba!!!! The FM9 transported me back to my youth.
