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.

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!

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 .

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 ... 😅
@LeonTodd3 жыл бұрын
In reverse order; 2) - Performance mode is coming in an upcoming update and this gives you ten controls of ANY parameter you need instant access to live. So handy. 1) I think a lot of that magic with cleans from a real amp comes from the sound of the speaker cab, and that's hard to capture the feel once mic'd. My JTM45 mic'd sounds exactly like the Axe JTM45 and an IR of my cab and that's probably my favourite clean. Cleans are a SUPER personal thing though.
