  • Fractal Audio FM9 (Stinger: Strymon Volante) 00:17:24
    • Double the processing power of the FM3, but still not as strong as the rack mount Axe FX3
    • The FM3 came out last year and has 3 footswitches so it was often compared to the HX Stomp. The FM9 has 9 switches and looks like the one to get if you don’t want/can’t afford the Axe FX3
    • So it’s got all the stuff, we don’t need to tell you how great Fractal gear is.
    • No built in expression of any kind but of course can receive expression pedals.
    • Personally, I think the FM9 is the one you want. It does all the stuff most people need and includes footswitches so you don’t need the rack unit plus a controller to gig with it.
    • I think Fractal was losing ground to Helix/Kemper/Headrush when it came to pedalboard designed modelers that could be used in all settings.
    • FM3 is $1100, FM9 is $1600, and Axe FX3 MKII is $2300.

        • Orange Omec Teleport $139


          • Review Reviews (Stinger: Empress Nebulus) 00:58:31
            • “Been looking for a guitar like this for 8 years!!!”
            • Listener questions/topics: Stinger: Earth Quaker Data Corruptor 01:07:45
              • When does a pedalboard get so big or complicated that it ceases to be useful anymore?
              • Collective stress around gigs/concerts with Delta variant growing concerning. Venues requiring proof of vaccination or a negative test.
