Do you have any pointers, or pointers to a tutorial that might help folks get a better handle on it?
I would keep the FM9. Sounds like you need to dial in your Mesa amps. How close\far is your FM9 tones? Have you tried the presets mentioned hereThinking of selling fm9 for an ax3 just for tone matching Metallica. All you axe3 guys is the tone matching really that great ? Do you use it a lot? Is this kind of crazy I get great tones from fm9 but I want the tone match. I most likely won’t just seeing what you all think

Logic Pro for Mac has an EQ Match plugin built-in that will do the job.I’m not really sure what a DAW is, I use audacity to record YouTube guitar tracks and that’s it
Like many things in life... it is just a question of time and priorities.TBH, i always felt, it's just an eq curve, i should be able to do what it does myself, if i can identify what needs to be boosted and cut, so i should work on my ability to do that.
Oh I am close I am going for the current live tone I am using the mark 2C++ along with dizzy silver ch3 I am not sure how to dial two amps together because of the phasing issue. I keep the mesa tone bright and the diezel with all the low end but have to have the diesel level turned down a bit or the phasing issue bad. I thought the tone match would dial it in moreI would keep the FM9. Sounds like you need to dial in your Mesa amps. How close\far is your FM9 tones? Have you tried the presets mentioned here

Yes I do along with the 24 volt mod which takes the blanket off sounds better to meHopefully OP has EMG 81 in the bridge of his guitar already![]()
You mean 27V?Yes I do along with the 24 volt mod which takes the blanket off sounds better to me
Ive used it like once. I find a lot of joy in researching what rig was used in the reference recording Im aiming at, and then I try to dial it in using ears. In the long run, I think its a better skill to acquire than relying on tonematching (not that theres anything wrong with it, just my approach)Thinking of selling fm9 for an ax3 just for tone matching Metallica.

Tonematch won't help with the phasing issue. Phase is a big deal. I would focus on that first.Oh I am close I am going for the current live tone I am using the mark 2C++ along with dizzy silver ch3 I am not sure how to dial two amps together because of the phasing issue.
