*Your crunchy tones are CRUSHING 🔥*

That Nuno sounding delay thing you did was one of the coolest riffs I've heard in years!

That lick at 11:16 is killer. Good stuff man, hope you have fun on your tour.

I wish Fractal would finally develop a native smartphone/tablet editor app. It makes more sense for me, mainly on the go, you generally have your phone/tablet with you. I know there is some workaround but it’s really not as good as a native app as concurrents do.

Need you guys to tour the US again, especially FL! Love the Rewind bit. Sounds huge. Looking forward to your future FM3 vids, I am on the waiting list. May be my first entrance into the Fractal universe. Stay safe on tour..👍

Sounds so good! Love that you’re taking it on tour so soon

To quote Dave from the movie Hot Rod, “Wow, Leon. I am just green with jealous rage right now”.

Great video as usual Leon!I think a video on importing a preset for Axe3 over to FM3, and maybe a video demonstrating an FX only thru a tube amp and 4CM, and how to build presets for these methods would be awesome. Enjoy the tour!

Sounds killer mate! I’m loving my axe fx ii. The Marshall presets on it are just amazing

Awesome as usual Leon. Proper frickin into tho FM3. Look forward to deeper diving soon. Good luck with the tour and y'all stay safe.

Wow, If that delay in the opening licks didn't take me to outer space, I don't know what will. This is the exact reason I can't wait for my fm3 to arrive.

Damn, I love my AX8, but the FM3 compact size, the versatility of the three buttons, the Ares modeling, and especially, the UI... It gives a man GAS when he already has everything.

Couldn't wait for your demo of this man! Big fan of your playing and Fractal fandom. Just one thing I thought I'd mention that i have to frequently adjust on your videos. The guitar sound is always louder then your voice by a large margin. I'm always adjusting the volume from when you play to when you speak. Not sure if you're shooting for a particular LUFS for KZfaq but if you could bump up your talking volume without too much trouble that would be awesome!

Brilliant playing & tones

Tour vlog? Traveling with the FM3, setup at the gig, breaking down, any unforeseen gotchas or hiccups. Thoughts about using it post tour.

What an impressive piece of modern tech, congratulations 😎

THEY REALLY EXIST! It’s finally here!!

11:27 LEGEND!

I’m so looking forward to getting mine, it’s been a minute but I know it’s worth the wait

love the way you play guitar dude, demo's are great thx

This is already the best review of the FM3...! Not a surprise coming from you Leon!

Wishing you all the best on the Ragdoll tour! Keep on rockin'! :)

Sounds really good. Thanks for taking the time to show us this.

Awesome video Leon! It’d be great to see an in depth video of how you programmed your switches for your performance patches in the AXE FX edit. In other words, how you were able to designate each of the three buttons to do what you desired. Thanks!

Awesome Leon! This video is highlighted on the Fractal website.

I have an AxeFXii full kit, you’ve convinced me that the upgrade is worth it. Thanks for the killer videos. Amazing tones you’re getting! Loved the Perry Mason drop. 🤘🤘

Fantastic..and I think worth for waiting on my turn in the list. Some questions crop to me that as a novice I will probably nervous if a mistake occurs in hitting only three buttons for moving back and forth from scene 1 thru 8 durning live gigs, I'm really afraid.

Been waiting for this video to drop! I'm on the waitlist for one of the headphone jack-equipped models. Probably won't be getting it until well after April but I can't wait! Hope to see more from you on this, I got so much out of my AX8 from your videos. Many thanks!

DAMN, I did not think, you would get one this fast - GREAT :)

That opening Tone and your playing😍💪 4:47 How much Eddie Van Halen could it be?🤣

Do all the videos with this. Seriously, your content is so fantastic. Specifically the artist inspired present ones are my favorites. But I’ll watch any video about the fm3 to be honest

Great demo! Wishing you great fun successful tour

Good video. It appears to me that at minimum a weekend intensive seminar would be in order to learn this thing.

Godly tone, man.. and awesome playing, as usual!

Cool little unit Leon, congrats on the early hands on! Still have my AX8 but I have been thinking about running back to a tube amp spacifily the Suhr PT 15 IR with some sort of pedal board to control with.

Sounds amazing and love how everything will translate well from AxeFXIII. Looking forward to getting mine soon. Great vids as always!

what's up leon, i got up at 5am(nz time) this morning for work and when I saw this on my you tube feed, I called my boss, "pulled a sickie" and took the day off work lol! thnx leon 4 kick starting my three day weekend

I knew it !!! Yesssss ... I hope i will get mine soon, i am on the list from day one Thanks Leon for your hard work🎸🎸🎸

Haha. Excited. I waiting for the FM3 to arrive in my next life.

Really excellent demo, as usual! Thanks.

The "drummer test" - I've never related to anything as much as I have to this lol

Awesome Leon 🤘 please do a in depth demo with hardware and editor showing together. Waiting for my FM3.....

Leon I’ve been watching you for a good while now and loving all your content dude I heard your eventide h9 demo test and I had to by one of them and they are amazing keep it up 👍

That outro solo - killer!

That is the video we all have been waiting for!

Must've been on the AX8 waitlist ;) Keep rockin' Leon! - ibanezfreak4

Couldn't click fast enough.!!! Sounds great. I do love that JTM. Edge of breakup is the thing that is hard to do usually on modeling if there is one thing hard for the same to do like a tube amp as you know I'm sure. Very cool. The plexi gain thing rocks too. Very cool...Love it.

Hi Leon, First time here and all I can say is,Great playing man! I love the tone of Atomica it sounds so thiick, lush anddreamy sounding to me anyway. I' need to check out some more of your vids cause you sound like an amazing player. Keep it up!

Righteous!!!

Great vid as always! I need fm3 in my life!!!!!!!

Cool stuff bro. Have fun on tour 🤘🔥🤘

That thing sounds amazing!

Would love to hear this through an amp and a cab... Whenever you get around to it, I'm not expecting to hear from Fractal anytime soon haha.

Good luck on tour! I’m still waiting on my waitlist email, but can I request a video on how assigning stuff to the footswitches works?

well that is just sick! sounds amazing!

Have to buy this. Sounds amazing. Its currently 1200 EUR.

Finally got my email from Andrew :))))). So excited, can't wait to get my hands on it. Going to be interesting to see if I can survive without an FC6.

This thing sounds really massive!

Love the review - looking forward for the detailed one! Cat's Rock - I need to have that t-shirt! 🤘🐈🤘

Leon you convinced to buy both axe fx3 and fm 3 …so great thanks my man

One of the best demos it was like I was at a concert in fact I like demos guitar players jamming away and learning something like I can watch this all day great demo awsem guitar player and awsem the fm3 wow factor 100%.

This guy is selling it for me! That's what the other guys don't do!

pretty pumped, just got my invite to purchase one. Have my hx stomp for sale on reverb

The Modded JCM800 sounded massive. Go easy on your Rotary settings M8 lol. Subtlety is bliss. You're picking and leads are Killer. Stretch and precision is just Damn. Just DAMN ! Hammer on and pull off practice just a little right ?You have some amazing Chops for sure. Thank You for the demo of the illusive and coveted Fractal FM3. Peace -

Sounds great .very loudly. Noise are very sweet.

First chord. Ok I'll buy it

This is cool, add two switches to FM3 without adding much width. Otter Custom Design Duo+

That USA IIC+ tone has me picking my jaw off the floor. Holy FUCK.

Leon, can you do a tutorial on your tap tempo sound? Loved that...

I just bought one of these. I feel like I made a good decision. Thanks for the video.

Amazing as always, Leon. Is there a way to add just a dual switch controller instead of an FC6? I think I saw someone use it but can’t really find it. Waiting for mine and following your videos since AX8. Cheers!

That outro lick!

Thank you Leon, once again you always make the Axe III/ FM3 sound incredible! I would love to see a video on the amp block and cab block and an overview of the advanced parameters specifically. Also I was wondering if you notice any differences at the moment using the standard Res IRs in the FM3 vs the Ultra Res in Axe III? From what it seems the UltraRes will be supported in a future firmware but I was wondering if you can even hear any audible difference anyway? Thanks!

Sick. The fully type.

11:09 almost sounded like the legendary PANTERA "floods" arpeggio end riff

Great quick overview. Always with the expressive eyebrows lol . Thanks LT

Pleasant Travels Mate first and foremost, here's to you having a great run of packed shows and sharing that glorious tone. That was super cool of you to take the time to share the rig with us, the ultimate fly rig. Here is a rundown of a real Plexi from the field. Monster sounding 67 100 with matching cab, can't fly with it, sounds 3-D and as woody as Eds back in the day. Just had to perform surgery ( a few caps ) to fight some noise and age. In other words a darn struggle in comparison to a loaded weapon like the FM3. Moral of the story, I will save in flight costs/shipping enough to own a FM3 and buy more Plexis ;-) , Its what we do .

killer playing!

Lovely playing very tasteful

Woohh I was literally blown away with the tone and power... could you please make a review on fm3 starting from the scratch how to use how to set different patch in each bank etc

Sounds as good as the AxeIII - but double functions on footswitches are a source of errors for performing on stage - when you need several sounds. So I would only use it with a Midicontroller or FC6/12. By the way - that poor Diezel Einstein behind...There dies the real thing.....lol.

Hey some Stank was coming through! : ) Show us slowly, just how the foot switch buttons work. Can be hard to grasp when someone is new to the concept of multi layers, perform, preset, scenes... .. ... .. ... .. ...

Please compare fuzz effects in the fm-3 and axe fx 3. It is interesting, how fuzzes works with fixed input impedance

That shirt is killer!

sounds great!

Combined with a dual switch for Standin - this is all you need.

Hey Leon. Just got my fm3 the other day. Looking forward to more videos!!! How about a giant preset using 4 different amps?

Ax8 vs Fm3 I'm ready!

HX Stomp and now the Fractal FM3... I'm seeing a trend there.

Amasing sounds... Increíbles sonidos suena genial

Great video Leon! Are you planning on using your FC6 with it? Good luck on tour!

Hi Leon, really enjoying your articulate demonstrations... I am thinking of buying an FM3 but I have had decent digital modellers before and wary of two things essential to me:- 1) I use cleans a lot, and I am always disappointed by digital modelled cleans because they sound so thin, and when I A/B against my real tube amps I never seem to get that full warmth and thickness out of a modeller that a tube amp offers. I know you operate principally in hi gain heaven but have you ever AB’d FM3’s cleans vs a good tube amp? 2) some previous modellers I have owned do not offer sufficient tactile and visual facilities to tweak “in battle”... one the big issues is always maintaining output level balance across the presets after tweaking EQ etc,... does FM3 offer simple intuitive swift deep editing of the core amp and effects that can be tweaked same as a pedal on a traditional board? Phew ... hope I’m clear, and really hope you can help me on these two points ... 😅

Anxiously awaiting my invite

Yeeeeah buddy! Rippin' it!!

Had to watch again.. Man, I really want this one! I mean, I'm drooling.. 😛It sounds sooooooo good.. I love it.. I love the size too and the tones of course are amazing.. Their technology is so good.. Just amazing man! God I'm thinking of buying one.. I'm either nuts or a genius.. LOL.. 😛 Thanks brother!

Leon what amp cabinet or monitor speakers are you using when you just using the fm3 as a effect..., i know you said direct into pro tools but what is the pro tools sending the output sound to...Lots of ppl talk about the fm3 etc but nobody mention what to plug the fm3 into a amp or is it powered monitor speakers.....etc...appreciate what you recommended.....i was think a old vintage fender twin or Fm3 to ev powered speaker thanks. oh amazing playing and awesome video's you do on sounds, equipment all the axe stuff.....i need lessons to get better as a guitarist do you do lessons

Thank you.

LT, Killer presets Mate! So on your preset’s (8:15-8:40ish) are those “downloadable” or create them from scratch?

Will i be able to download your same patches on the fm3? With all your tweaked internal settings so i dont have to fiddle around? Im not a tweaker just wanna plug and play your awesome tones.

That sounds sick!! One just popped up for sale near me for $950...Hmmm..
