Yes, that's change was fixed and can be published shortly. I was waiting for FW4, and it has been holiday retail madness since then.The FM9/T has a variable input impedance like the AxeFx3. The blocks guide needs updating.

Yes I’m past it but if someone brings it back up I will respond to it specifically for understanding. I hope it’s very clear by now.And it’s been edited after you raised the point
Time to bury the hatchet and move on with life
I seriously doubt you can fit an FM9 into 3 rack spaces...i think we all understand the OP is happy that the FM9 can support what he wants to do. don't mean to rain down on this.
but yeah, that statement could lead to disappointed future customers "someone said it was the same."
Interesting. I see the auto input impedance and a number of fixed impedance options in my Input 1 block on FM9. Docs out of date?The Fractal Audio Block Guide states that only the Axe III has the variable impedance options in the IN 1 block.

The FM9 manual also makes no mention of the variable input impedance and specifies it as 1MΩ.
Note that "Secret Sauce IV" on the input is not the same as the variable input impedance feature. That's the low noise design of the input circuit that's optimized for high impedance guitar pickups.
Manuals are hard to keep up-to-date as is — then add Cliff to the equation...Docs out of date?
Nothing wrong with that, I wouldn't use the AXE FX III to justify keeping it. So far I've wanted to go back to the Axe FX III zero times since I got the FM9T, which was around the time you got your a few months back.I love having FM9T and my trusty Axe FX III MKII Turbo... Hehe.![]()

Out of curiosity, what's the Mayones coming your way?
do they need to grow trees first or why the heck does it take that long to build a guitar?Glad it’s been helpful to a number of people.
It’s a custom shop Legend that I ordered back in October 2021. It was quoted as a 12-18mth build time and expected delivery should be Feb-March next year. An exercise in patience for sure!!!
Usually, it’s because a small shop can only build so many guitars in a year, and there are 100 people ahead of you.do they need to grow trees first or why the heck does it take that long to build a guitar?
My Suhr Custom took over a year as well. Not sure how long the waiting list is now, was well worth it, I love my Suhr Modern.do they need to grow trees first or why the heck does it take that long to build a guitar?

I have both units, and somewhat agree with both sides. I do use the vocoder for some dance/top 40 bands I play with, so FM9T won't work for those. I also miss the 2nd pitch block. Other than that, I use it for most other gigs. I don't see myself ditching either. Options are the absolute best! At the end of the day, whatever works for you is the one that will get used. I couldn't be happier with these killer units. I can't believe they will get "better" eventually?Really? @chris @scottp did you actually read the whole post?
Granted the title is a little click baity... Fair call - l edit that.
Otherwise... perhaps it's worth understanding what the post is saying before throwing out unhelpful snap responses. You'll see that nowhere does it say the FM9T = AxeFx (I state it's not the same or as powerful). You'll also see that I mentioned there are DSP and block trade-offs.
The point is you can get to very similar outcomes by approaching your preset builds differently. Which is a commendation to Fractal and helpful for people who are trying to make buying decisions between the two untis.
Does the FM9T include the secret sauce?The Fractal Audio Block Guide states that only the Axe III has the variable impedance options in the IN 1 block.
