- In this video I disuss who a Fractal FM3 is suited to and for who a FM9 is better. Both are great modellers so I understand it’s a hard decision to choose. As a pro player who uses both daily I can say there is clear advantages to both and I break that down for you. Any questions or comments leave them below?

Can’t get over the tone you get out of the fractal. I love your preset
Thanks!
@@NickGranville what FRFR are you using? Any other power in between? When you play live.
Hi Steve. I use a Fender Fr10. It’s excellent and the onboard EQ controls are super useful
Great playing and great tone
Thanks so much
Super helpful video thanks m8

Very nice and informative from a working musician -Thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Awesome mate!
Thanks! 🎸😎
Hi Nick,which one to buy if you probably not going to create your own presets,which is too complicated for me anyway and just use the presets,since they sound more than good enough ? I really don’t know which one to choose. Great playing and dito channel 👍
For 90% of people I’d say just buy the FM3. It’s smaller, cheaper, and lighter and likely to do everything you’ll ever need. Unless you use a looper a lot, or need the two amp function (most don’t, including me), and or need a million sounds quickly accessible then the FM9 is the way to go. So most likely you will be perfectly fine with the fm3. The factory presets are very good, which isn’t usually the case to most these types of units. Besides could always start with a preset and tweak it or your liking. Cheers
Where can I find your preset? I am new to the fractal world and my FM3 arrived today.
Hey mate. My main FM3 and FM9 presets are on my buy me a coffee page. They're $5 which one coffee. Link the description of any of my videos. Cheers
You've got me looking at Ibanez semi hollows now 😂 I haven't thought about them in a while but I know sco, benson and Matheny have used them for a long time now. Were you using the sco model there?
Sure is, Ibanez JSM100 John Scofield model. I’ve had it since 2008.
May I ask, for church, which would be more beneficial? Is the two amp setup necessary?
I’m not someone who plays in worship settings but I have friends who do and I believe they just play the same as other gigs, so use whatever you usually use. I think the FM3 will get the job done for most people but if you need lots of ambient tones and control then go for the fm9. The two amp thing isn’t necessary for 99.9% of people imo
Great intro. What was that?
No Tap Tempo? Yikes!
Thanks, that’s cantaloupe island, a Herbie Hancock tune. Backing track linked in the description
It has tap tempo if you want to dedicate a switch for that. You can also add a cheap $20 dual switch and use that for tap/ tuner or change scenes, presets, etc
Yes, I know - I need to get an external switch. Will do soon.
@@NickGranville I thought it sounded familiar. Don't know why I couldn't place it. Thanks. 🙂
Thanks for watching Simon!
