    first thanks for this video, very helpful .. but I have a quick question .. when you change the output level from 4 to -10 .. the amp with FM 9 as effect processor is defintely quieter than your AMP without FM9 - maybe it is a stupid question but as I know the amp power need to leave the amp and it looks like it will be regulated down - can this become a problem for the tube amp at some point ?

      hey, I tried to leave a comment from the main account and it's not working for some reason.. the settings shown in the video are safe, nothing will damage the amp, just make sure you always have the cabinet connected to the amp head, othere than that nothing can harm your amplifier!

    Hery Any!! How do you sdound so great? I got my FM9 this week and I am soooo dissapointed at how weak and dull it sounds....but yours sound amazing!!! Did you turn anything off on the FM9? do you run the presets straight into your amp? because you are using the 4 cable method...pretty sure you fire up the ampos distortion with the fm 9....help! $2K on garbage is a major dissappointment. By the way: Strat USA => FM9 -> Huges & Lettner clean chnl 5W unit

      Hi, thanks for watching! I don’t get to check comments very often, and I have to many videos to respond to comments. However, to answer your question about sound, you will need to first set up your device and make sure you update it firmware and software on it. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but once you take care of this part, it should sound great.
      I was frustrated in the beginning myself, but don’t give up just yet. The entire Guitar music industry is moving towards processors, so we will have to adapt and learn. If you can’t find answer to your specific questions in my videos, make sure to check this RUclips channel below. It’s called G66, they have the most comprehensive tutorials for everything you need to know about fractal Audio products, and specifically Guitar processors.
      I spent two months learning and trying different stuff on my FM nine Turbo, and once you set it up properly, update, and use proper PA or guitar combo with four cable method it should sound great!

    Been considering getting this pedal soon. Will i be able to connect to an amp like i would for any other pedal ? (One cable from guitar into the pedal and then one cable from the FM9 to the amp)
    Also does the fm9 give options to make presets without Amps and/or cabs?

    • @GuitarGuru-AndyPaul
      @GuitarGuru-AndyPaul  2 месяца назад +1

      Well, there will be many variables. It depends on what kind of combo you are using, and if it’s a tube amplifier combo or no tube.
      If it’s a tube amplifier, please use the four cable method. I explain in this video, otherwise you can use two cables as if you were plugging into a mixer console. These kind of processors are designed to work with your PA system directly, no combo, so best results if you plug into PA line directly.
      And, yes, you will have an option to turn tube amp simulation, on or off, and either use tubes from your physical amplifier, or you use tubes from the fractal unit. If you use fractal FM nine processor I would recommend to use sounds and tubes that are coming with it.again, if you have a nice tube amp, I would not suggest using fractal FM nine at all, but if you are planning to plug-in directly into the mixer or some sort of powered speakers, then FM nine is gonna be great option. Good luck.

    Hi, thanks for posting this video. Im confused though, dont you need a send/return block in the chain for 4 cable method?

    • @andypaul1448
      @andypaul1448 7 месяцев назад +1

      send and return inputs are on the back side of the tube amp as shown on the video, no need for additional block in this case, as far as I know.

    Hey dude, I have the FM9 and I use the 4CM as well... how do u change a tube amp channel, say, ch1 clean to ch2 crunch? The FM9 can't switch a real tube channel, so what's the best way to change the channel? I have a ENGL amp and the amp does have a footswitch...

      Get the voodoo lab control switcher if your amp doesn’t have midi

      Hi you can do what’s mentioned below, however, when you use fm9 I’d not recommend using tube amp with it at all. When you use FM9 it’s best to plug it in directly into the line.
      If you still want to use tube amp (which defeats the purpose of using amp simulation from the processor) do not try to switch channels on your amp, only use amps from your FM9…
      Soo.., it’s either you use your tube amp capabilities or you use processor..

    • @GuitarGuru-AndyPaul
      @GuitarGuru-AndyPaul  2 месяца назад +2

      When you use four cable method, it effectively switches off your actual physical tubes from your guitar combo. So only drive distortion that’s coming from your FM nine to simulation is going to be used.
      If you use two cable method and try to mix drive the distortion that’s coming from your tube amplifier mixed with drive distortion coming from your processor, you will most likely get a lot of static and white noise, so it’s not recommended.

    Thank you! Yes! Just got mine a few days ago and it seems so convoluted that I'l have to save a weekend just to get some noises out my amp....I thought it was broken! Nope! rocket Science engineering: you need to set it up first....yikes! What did I get myself into (from BOSS GT-100)...

      Yeah going from Boss to Fractal is a big jump.., look through how this video for tips, but if you have a very specific question about functionality or updating the firmware, or working on a specific sound of preset, refer to this channel below, they are the most resourceful RUclips channel for fractal audio product owners.

    How much is this FM9 processor?

    • @GuitarGuru-AndyPaul
      @GuitarGuru-AndyPaul  Год назад +3

      FM9 turbo is about $2000, and in a lot of cases you need to preorder and there will be a wait time, at least in the US. So it’ll be wise to order from an European website if possible

      I just received my FM9 Turbo this week. G66 is the only supplier in Europe, but their service is really great, I had great mail interactions with their workers and I received the device 3 days after sending the payment. Great! They're faster than the largest guitar store in the NL who have never managed to deliver anything to me within 3 days time.
      Also, the fractal comes with a large box of chocolates lol so you just have to get it
