why would a TRS be used?Different case might be a ¼" TRS cable, thought the FM9 input 1 jack accepts instrument/line-in TS only, IIRC...? Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
Just spitballing...not sure why, a stereo guitar input wired into a TRS cable? Some guys use their PRS HB II Piezo guitars with stereo A/B > Y cable, this might be the only instance I can think of...why would a TRS be used?
Input 1 is mono so this wouldn’t work. Most piezo guitars have 2 separate mono cable outputs, or a TRS output at the guitar and a Ycable that splits those 2 signals to mono TS cables, using 2 separate mono inputs on the axe.Just spitballing...not sure why, a stereo guitar input wired into a TRS cable?

That's what I'd originally thought, but was using the TRS A/B>Y cable as an illustration...the PRS HBII Piezo has two mono instrument outputs but I'd wondered if you could use a A/B TS > Y TRS cable for a stereo input. Doesn't matter, the FM9 input 1 jack is ¼" TS mono anyway...you'd likely need a dual ¼" TS to dual ¼" TS cable to simplify the usual cable tangles with two separate instrument cables...ProCo makes some, though I might prefer higher quality cable...Input 1 is mono so this wouldn’t work.

Both of those pedals are true bypass. So when both pedals are bypassed, there will be no buffer involved. Use a buffer only if you want/need one. With a buffer involved, the setting of of the FM9’s input impedance will be irrelevant.Thanks guys, I have one last alternate question. I’d like to switch the positions of the tuner and freqout because at the moment I have to step over the tuner to press the freqout on and I’m doing I’ve it the tuner with my heel and muted my signal. I wish the tc could have its mute function bypassed.
Since the freqout is in a true bypass setting I understand it’s best practice to have a buffer at the beginning of the chain but doesn’t it just get buffered right after with the tuner in this case?
Again though, I don't think you need to have an input buffer before the FM9 right? I could be wrong. What would be the advantage of having a buffer before the FM9 input?Both of those pedals are true bypass. So when both pedals are bypassed, there will be no buffer involved.

If there’s a bunch of stuff to drive before the FM9, then a buffer might be helpful. If it’s just a couple of true-bypass pedals, then there’s not much point.Again though, I don't think you need to have an input buffer before the FM9 right? I could be wrong.

Not sure what you're saying here. If you're running passive pickups, the modeled Input Impedance will affect the sound. But if your signal is buffered, the Input Impedance setting will not have any significant effect.Since the input impedance setting is a model it should sound like it's designed to sound. In other words, it won't be affected by a buffered signal.
The input impedance is NOT modeled... It's a network of physical components.It doesn't matter. Anyone using a wireless or active pickups is already sending a buffered signal into the FM9. A pedal shouldn't be any different. Since the input impedance setting is a model it should sound like it's designed to sound. In other words, it won't be affected by a buffered signal.
Hmm, I’m using a wireless and changed the input impedance on a preset with a fuzz. There were clear differences in the sound even with the buffered signal.Not sure what you're saying here.
