I realized I posted it in the wrong category lolare you going to create the same thread name every 3 minutes? asking for a friend
Yes, too much latency imo. Hopefully they fix thatI accidentally stumbled on a YT video for the virtual capo but does anyone else feel like there is a bit of latency and stutter from this effect. I suppose it’s a hard effect to offer without the latency( it is very minor)
I am playing the song Go your own way by fleetwood Mac I have a bit of drive and reverb on it as well and the volume up enough so that I can’t hear my guitar The effect is good but playing the intro which is staccato I notice the latency the mostCan I ask what type of music you are playing? I have a preset that I posted on another thread that uses the Virtual Capo of -6, switches to -1, and then standard, depending on Scene selection, and it also has a harmonizer in it as well. I think it actually sounds VERY good, and would put it on par with the Helix. Is there a chance you are actually hearing your actual guitar? I did a rehearsal where I could actually hear/feel my guitar, which was tuned in standard, and it screwed my mind up a few times. I actually had to sit there and train my brain to separate the two...it's weird, but it worked for me. Seriously, consider that, unless you are doing some crazy chord voicings? Which again, I was playing High Landrons by EJ, and it sounded great with the virtual capo as well.
This is pretty much it. More like FEELING it tho. When you hit a note there is a noticeable delay before it hits your ear. Not saying there’s a lot (op also says it’s minor) But definitely noticeable. It sounds great. But kills the feel (for me).I really think you are hearing your REAL guitar...
No, there is latency. Maybe some cant hear it or care about it. No comparison to my Digitech Drop.Seriously I'm not understanding what this latency is you're talking about. I really think you are hearing your REAL guitar...I'm telling you, you will hear it even with headphones on and even playing live on stage unless you have a monitor cranked right at you. My hearing is not the greatest, but I can tell. I can also feel it in my body, and I'm betting that is what you are dealing with. I've had many drop tune pedals, and variations of modelers. They are all very similar. Honestly, the FM3 does an excellent job. Maybe it is because I've been using these for doing the 'virtual capo' for so long that I've trained myself to deal with it?
The FM3 virtual capo latency doesn't compare well with other top tier modelers, but the AxeFX III version is best of class. This topic comes up a lot on the forum, so you know FAS will do whatever they can to try to port the AxeFX III virtual capo to the FM3.
I agree the latency is there and I think the virtual capo affects the tone of your presetNah, it’s there. If it works for you that’s cool. They’re working on it.

The virtual capo is at the beginning of the effects chainTry bypassing all the effects except amp/pitch/cab. Could be your reverb? Also, Where in the signal chain is the pitch block? And, is it possible you have a delay set on the pitch? I played some pretty heavy stuff even with drop c for some Dream Theater... One other thing...Even if you have the output cranked, you will still inadvertently hear your actual guitar, no joke. I've heard it during live rehearsals and it really messed me up. Sort of like a singer that has a powerful voice, playing live.
