I just got a FM9 for my Birthday, this series has been a Godsend, thank you! Quick question, in several videos you reference deeper dives into dialing in tones (like Mesa settings) but I don't see them on the playlist. Am I looking in the wrong spot?

The great part about having the fm3 and running it into the fender tone master fr10 and fr12 is they have a thru that’s doesn’t touch the tone at all and the eq and cut on the tone master doesn’t affect that output so you can just plug the front of house into the back of the tonemaster fr 10 and 12 and your good to go they have different volumes so you can use the to change volume on stage if you need it. I just like having an amp behind me because I always have had one before I started running frfr so yea it’s a great plus when thinking which frfr speaker to get and they’re only 450 and you can spread them when your stereo more them a cab with two 12s stereo

The correct way to set the input pad is to turn off all the effects until all you have is the input(turn off gate too) and output block on. On the output block set the output to -18db. Then you strum and play and watch that meter in the output block. If the pickups are too hot you will notice the signal compresses on the meter indicating its clipping. Set the pad until you have lots of headroom and no longer running out of headroom. For my guitar with EMGs and a Duncan SH-14 in bridge pad 12db is the best setting for those pickups.

Hi Rosh,hope you're doing great. I'm a new FM3 user,concerning the 3Db boost for the Reverb,does this still apply with recent updates ? Also,when using external pedals like Bigsky through stereo send/return,do we get a drop in volume and should compensate like with the 3Db for the reverb?
@RoshRoslin27 күн бұрын
You can still use this formula if you'd like. 50% Mix, 3db and use the input gain to determine the amount of reverb. I tend to run my reverbs in parallel for ease of use and independence between other time based effects.
@marctamtonthatАй бұрын
I don't understand why the reverb is parallel to the signal as you can achieve the same result putting it in series and adjusting the mix level of the reverb block.
@RoshRoslin27 күн бұрын
Because you can have reverb run independently of other time based effects. I don't want my delay trails to have reverb and vice versa. User choice, and if you like running effects in series, that's totally fine.
@mjmason75Ай бұрын
It's too bad when that we assign the scene controller it can't use the same measurement as the original knob or switch. It would be easier to make the proper adjustments if we could see exactly what setting we are setting, such as dB, Hz, on/off, etc rather than just a percentage. Maybe they will update this on a future update. Great video though. Very helpful. I'm a brand new FM3 user, and didn't even know about this feature yet. Thanks!

I would say that gapless switching is now implemented with the latest updates on the FM3, you may not need scene controllers unless you desire to change the amp settings between scenes.

The issue I am having is not balancing input but rather internal clipping when boosting a scene via a filter block. All my initial scenes are balanced and not clipping. However when I want a decent boost the scene clips--how do I overcome this?
@RoshRoslin23 күн бұрын
Are you actually clipping? As in hearing a digital clipping sound and going about 20db above the zero mark? If so, just turn the amps down. If you're going slightly into the red, even about 5 db, you are -not- clipping

The split may change the volume output if you have dry/DI signal going through. So make sure you mute the path with the bypassed amp when switching between amps.

You can definitely go through each section on the FC6 and also have song/up and down on the FM3. You need to have two separate layouts to do this One for the FM3, one for the FC6.

Do I need to change anything in the settings? Using a Seymour Duncan powerstage and a 4x12 cab. We will use a frfr speaker at practice. I want to use this set up. I’m also using Fishman Fluence moderns. Do I need to change anything to compensate for the hot pickups?
@RoshRoslin23 күн бұрын
The FRFR speaker will get signal from out1 and the power amp will get signal from Output 2. If you also want to go to FOH you can either use the other Left/Right output from 1 that is not going to the FRFR cab or use an output from your FRFR cab. Most FRFR cabs have an output that links to FOH

You know, Rosh, the guitar-playing Blink 182 fandom obsesses over achieving Tom Delonge’s tone. I for one am most interested in his live tone on the 2024 tour. He’s using Axe Fx 3 now. 😉
@RoshRoslin23 күн бұрын
Absolutely. He's great. Honest;y depends on which era of Blink, but he mainly used Rectifiers during their heyday before starting angels and airwaves. Then he switched to using Vox style amps. You could probably recreate those tones in the AxeFX

it turns out that the most obvious solution for someone who plays on stage is unattainable in a user-friendly way. I have fm 3 and fc6 and there is no way I can set songs and their titles on fm3 and on fc 6 sections of songs and their names that I gave them when creating the list. This completely surprised me - after all, it is the simplest and unattainable solution.If I'm wrong, please tell me how to do it step by step.

Is it possible to do this with stereo cabs? If I run stereo effects into the cab block will this stay stereo for front of house? Ideally I would run output 2 to 2 separate power amps and cabs but I'm wondering if running the effects into the cab block (for output 1) would sum everything to mono. Hope this makes sense!

Yes, just make sure to pan the cabinets correctly and use a stereo cab block which also has stereo inputs. Ping/Pong delays etc will be panned between both cabinets and sent to FOH
