Fascinating stuff! One of the best life decisions I ever made was to buy an FM3 when they first came out. Haven't bought any pedals, and am unlikely to. (OK I bought a Neo Vent, but that's for the organ!)

Thanks for putting this video together Angus. I have FM3 and FC6 with a Temple board but it's great to see an example of taking things even smaller. I have a backup FM3 as well which could now be set up like this. Fractal is just the best.

Incredible sir. I am using the FM3 nightly to back singers. Great advice and planning. I will also give everyone a trick I use. If I know I am not using the WAH for a song, I switch the wah to an on/off switch with auto on. Now you have another switch!

@staticf1ux 4 ай бұрын

Great design! Lots of flexibility. Compact form factor. I use an FM3 with FC6 and EP2. Some days I like to leave the FC6 behind. Great ideas here for an even more compact footprint. Well thought-out preset plan. Thanks for sharing!! Love it!! 🙏✝️❤️🎸🎶

Nice video, Angus! Jeff and I were just talking about the FM3 in a pro recording context yesterday. It's great to see the practical live performance tips you've provided here. Programming the wah to shut off in the toe (not heel) position? Hadn't thought of that! smart. On another Axe-FX topic, I've seen a few videos that suggest tweaking a few advanced settings in the amp block (like adding a little output compression, boost, and saturation) may make the amps feel a little more like the real thing. If you have done something like that, I'd love to see a video about it and your thought process.

@AngusClarkGTR 4 ай бұрын

Hi Mike! I haven’t really enjoyed the results I get with the boost in the amp block. I do like swapping out the speaker resonance curve (in the amp block). It defaults to a matching speaker with whatever amp you’re using but sometimes if you click through the other ones you can get a better tone. In the speaker block I bring the hi freq rolloff down to around 5.1K. Those are my only deep dive parameters I think.

@michaelcope9501 4 ай бұрын

I'll have to try those ideas. And wow, rolling off the cab all the way down to 5.1k! Maybe trying that will mask the slight "digitalness" I can sometimes notice in my rig. Your experience is so valuable. I appreciate you sharing the info! @@AngusClarkGTR

Love those boards, being a Temple Board user. I am going to have a look later, as my Solo 18 is a tad too small but the Duo a tad too big. First word problems I know haha. I swear by the Shures for 100's of gigs, and the Midi Baby's are super versatile as well.

really nice build , that 3m dual lock sure is tough if it's of any help you can also use screws + washers to screw in the FM3 to the board directly (m3.5 x 16mm) this works a treat on temple audio boards and would here as well i guess

Hi Angus. Great Board! One question. How do you amplify your FM3 signal in a live situation? Via an active FRFR box, power amp and cab, guitar box and amplifier. Or just via the FOH and monitor? I'm planning to buy an FM3, but I want to carry as few boxes as possible. I would be happy to hear your feedback. Pete

@AngusClarkGTR Ай бұрын

Hi Pete, I’m fine with just running it direct. I like running it through stage cas, so if the gig is backlined I can run Output 2 either into the fx return or use my Seymour Duncan Powerblock.

This is very helpful. Are the switches, expression pedal and Shure wireless powered by the fm3?

@AngusClarkGTR 12 күн бұрын

No, the fm3 doesn’t have any built-in power distribution. I’ve seen some info about making a custom cable to create a workaround using one of the usb ports, but I just make sure I get a 4 outlet power drop at my downstage position. Easy.

Question: Can you please tell me how to get to the controls of a Fractal stomp without having to scroll through menus. I loved my Fm9 but sold it because of that, or it wasn't anywhere near as easy as the Helix. I'm sure it must be easy to get to on the Fractal but I couldn't find that bit of information anywhere. Maybe I'll buy one again if I can find the solution to this problem. thanks

For example, I want to get the gain nob of tube screamer and have it show in the display window without have to scroll sideways and press buttons to get to it. Thanks for your time. I have sent the same request to a few others, so I'll wait and see what they have to say.
