Steve Vai and FM3

Any reports what he's using it for? Amp modeling or effects?

He always use fractal products (since a lot of time) only for effects in the fx loop of the current amp he’s using.

i think there was an interview were he claims that hears the latency and whatnot when comes to amp / cab simulation

Yeah, he thinks he hears latency. But he’s not- no way. The Modeling‘s latency is less than the sound latency when you move from 5 feet to say 10 or 20 feet away. So he should be complaining of latency when he is further from his amps and no one has ever noticed that...

It's crystal clear... the pros are provided with a different FM3 that holds 10x power inside!
As it is for the picks! It's a worldwide guitar conspiracy against us amateurs...
They're lying to us!

Yes and they have all the built-in "talent block" that was removed on amateur users devices.

There is a video of Steve demoing the Boss Waza air and he said there was no latency - so make of that what you will.

IIRC he clarified this a bit later to mean he was hearing the delay of a dry signal combined with a delayed version of itself after a few ms of latency from from an effects processor. This occurred when running a true dry signal (not routed to fx processor) simultaneously with the latent dry signal that was routed through an effects processor and therefore a few ms delayed from a/d d/a conversion. Hence, he now runs effects only in the wet side of "wet dry" or "wet dry wet" to eliminate the original dry signal from combining with a slightly latent dry signal.

This wouldn't happen if he were running everything through the same device, only when the dry signal has an additional path which introduces latency and combines with the original dry path.
