this was far and away the hardest video I’ve ever made. I have no idea how you crank them out. Much respect to you brother.

Love how puppy dog seemed to get comfortable when you went to "Crunch" but appears to be giving you "The Eye" at 9:41......"Here he goes Again"🤣

Great advice for users of such an installation and this is a great solution that sounds in the right hands.The demos are just great, the settings express emotions and the right feeling under your fingers.Thanks!!!

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!)

L Todd is a the best......saved me so much valuable time. Good post Angus and very helpful to see how you run your rig.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate your great insight, and your playing was super tight and clean! 🤟

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.

Hello my friend David Shankle here I have been with Fractal 15 years. Nice demonstration sounds great.

Sounded great and that guitar is beautiful.

Wow pedals have come a long way since I was first introduced. Who knew playing electric guitar was so involved. I love the different tones you pulled out of those pedal taps. Beautiful!

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!! 🙏✝️❤️🎸🎶

Great stuff Angus!!!

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!

Sounded great!

Clever Design and great video. Thank you!

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.

Great rig enjoyed. Very similar to one of mine.

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.

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

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

getting active lately.. good

Killer rig man. I am happy with my FM9, it actually fits snug in that same pelican you got… but sometimes I wonder about a simple FM3 for easy travel gigs and smaller stuff. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks man! I think gapless switching is coming to the fm3 too, which makes me think I’ll be sticking with this solution for a while.

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

i think you can power up everything from the fm3 using the faslink port (it gives 12v 1a out)

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

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.

thanks

Hello Angus ! I'm Bruno from France! I'm a big fan of Rock of Age (seen in London a few years ago. happiness). Your presets in the video are superb! is it possible to have the settings? I'm struggling to get good sound with my fm3 ! Best regards Bruno

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

sounds like simplier is better and i'm not a musician but it makes sense
