I left mine on accidentally while on vacation for 10 days. freaked out but was fine and checked w Fractal and they said no worries. I mean I leave my computers on 24-7 for years, so...
Wait... I thought you were dating hot models just the other week? Does your wife know?In my private studio where even my wife cannot enter without permission
Damnit! You caught me! The other week I only sent out 2486 sexts texts to all the models in my circle!Wait... I thought you were dating hot models just the other week? Does your wife know?
I have to say that the previous answer you gave was more epic, but this one is more into the character.Damnit! You caught me! The other week I only sent out 2486 sexts texts to all the models in my circle!
It's a good thing to know the FM3 , FM9's little brother , can withstand the punishment as well.I have to say that the previous answer you gave was more epic, but this one is more into the character.
For what is worth, regarding OP, for the last 3 years I had the FM3 turned on from morning to night. No issue at all
I guess that's good practice at a gig. In my private studio where even my wife cannot enter without permission, I have the guitars safely placed away from obstacles. Since I'm in there from 3am to 9 pm starting a few days ago I can't tell you how many times I put a guitar on a take it off during those hours. Putting mutiple guitars in and out of cases multiple times a day would drive me crazy.
This "flat fee" is a short term thing.I live in a condo. I pay a flat maintenance fee a month for unlimited hot water, electricity, heat, A/C, Fast Internet, etc.
So there is no additional cost leaving anything in my home on 2 hrs or 16 hrs a day.
But for fire hazard reasons obviously I don't do this with everything.
Thought you and your wife were separated? Good for you if you are back togetherI guess that's good practice at a gig.

There's no power down procedure for the Fractal units, unlike a computer, Kemper, or the X32 you mentioned. From the Fractal hardware's perspective there's no difference between cutting the power externally via a power strip and using the switch on the unit.is it the same with the FM9?
My Cyber Power AVR 1000 VA unit stays on 24/7 , 365 days a year. I have my laptop running 24/7 and my fm9 and Elis 8's plugged into it. I turn off the FM9 once a day and turn off the Elis 8's every 2-3 hrs or so. I find the ELis 8's heat up. The FM9 is safe to leave on 24/7 but I figure a power down once every night and a power up every morning at 3 am is good enough to put in a full days work -- weekdays of course.This is how I have my stuff set up so certain things stay on 24/7 and I can turn on/off the rest of my studio/computer stuff and monitors separately.

There's certainly nothing wrong with shutting it off whenever you're not using it, but if you're worried about burn in on the screen, there's absolutely no chance of that.Turn mine off and on as I need to (multiple times a day) - I don't see an issue with it. One time I left it on overnight and I freaked out. I dunno, part of me is worried about all that time with the LCD and LED's on. I am weird and do not base this on any facts or reality of electronics lol.
Burn out the LED's? You mean the rings around the switches? It could happen, but I would think that would happen quickly, as the result of a defective part that would be replaced under warranty. Outside of that, really unlikely* - you're much more likely to break one by damaging the unit somehow, dropping it, backing over it in your car, something like that.Any chance you could burn out the LED's leaving the units on 24/7?
