So far I really love the unit, and haven't found anything I don't like about it, but as I've only had it a few days, I can't say for sure if there will be things I dislike. I will do some follow videos during the next months, so if you subscribe you can follow my journey 🙂

FRFR wise I've just got some cheap "the Box" DSX112 something, but again that's not really on the recording 🙂

@@olzzonscorner ...but when you want to hear the FM9 in the room, you take your FRFR - right? or do you listen with monitors

@@timcat88 yes, thats 2 small PA speakers. So pretty much like an Guitar FRFR setup.

It's these www.thomann.de/dk/the_box_pro_dsx_112.htm I haven't spend that much on monitoring, and it probably wouldn't be the one I would recommend, but I think they work okay.

Thanks a lot ❤️ It's 99% directly out, had a keyed expander on the mic from my mac, that recorded my voice, and then when getting audio directly from the FM9, it "muted" the computer mic.

@@olzzonscorner ah.. thanks👍🏼

Yeah, you have to keep things separate. What I've done: FM9: - Output 1 directly to FRFR (Active speaker) - Output 2 or 3 into RC600 RC600: - Set instrument 1 input to Line level. - Turn off direct sound from Instrument 1 to output so it's only track output that is playing. - Main output to FRFR (on a second input) Can't really remember how I did on the RC600 IMHO RC600 has the most terrible menu system, it's like coming back to the 80's, but if you get stuck let me know, then I'll look it up 🙂

Thanks a lot ❤ Yeah, that sort of feedback is also what I expect it to be (also described that way in the manual) but there's some simulation going on it that too, cause if you just feed some audio back to the input, it's not going to sound and react like this. It's really a clever circiut the've created here 🙂

Well, I've actually had a Helix (as i mention in the video) for some years, and also liked it. But it wasn't as "lively" as my analog setup. Then when I got the Tsakalis Mothership, I discovered that it reacted way more like my analog setup. I've also got a TonexOne, but that one, like the Helix doesn't have as good response. This is probably something that others dont have the same need for, e.g. if you're playing with a lot of gain, it doesn't really have that great an impact. And then when I got the Fractal VP4 I discovered that it had the same response as the Tsakalis Mothership. And so has the FM9 🙂

@@xGildxx thanks a lot. With this device it’s pretty easy to achieve that 🙂

Oh yes, I'll also add a link in the comments. You can find it here 🙂 forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fm9-first-impression.210799/

Yes, I'll definetely do that then 🙂 Right now they're just 2 separate devices, but I plan to add some midi integration too.

@olzzonscorner ya I'm not really concerned on using the midi just want to be able to do basically what you are doing. I want to play my fm9 and be able to loop with my rc!! Look forward to seeing the video!!

Thanks you so much, your support means a lot to me 🙂

Thanks a lot 🙂 If you wan't to take a look you can grab the preset here 🙂 forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/fm9-first-impression.210799/

Well, I only tried them once, and they sounded great and touch responsive. But I do prefer to have a simple path and preamp based overdrive/dist, so I haven't dived deeper into those. And the Tsakalis Mothership sounds so great, and so does the Jackson Audio Bloom, so I haven't got the need for it. The VP4 is mainly bought for their (also) fantastic stereo FXs and be aware that if you use the 4-Cable Method those will only be mono, mainly because all the I/O's are used for that. (and thus limited to mono in the software)

Wow, thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it ❤️

Thanks. And yes, i can really recommend it, it's something special. And remember to try directly into it from you guitar. The it feels exactly like playing into a great amp ❤️

@@olzzonscorner Excellent, Thanks!

BTW Love your content, keep 'em coming!

I will, thank you so much 🙂

Thanks a lot ❤️ That reverb combined with the Tsakalis Mothership almost plays itself 🙂

@olzzonscorner Nice 👌

Btw. Remember to check out the different cabs in their editor. My prefered is 412 Celestion "Eddie" for clean and crunch And then I use the 112 Backen EV for lead, it's more middle range, a bit like putting a TS808 in front of a distorted channel ❤️

@olzzonscorner Nice 1, I'll keep that in mind when I get it! Thanks

Hope you'll be just as happy for yours as I am for mine 🙂 I used the Huge, York Minster with a stereo delay in front for the intro, and then a hall for the other stuff.

@@olzzonscorner Thank you!

Thanks a lot ❤️

Didn't know that recording, wow what a beautiful tune. Thanks a lot 🙂 ❤️

@@olzzonscorner did u hook it up 4cm with vp4 ? nice tone

@@sihoon48 thanks a lot 🙂 no I prefer to run directly into the Tsakalis Mothership (the Jackson Audio Bloom is set to relay-bypass) cause it gives the best dynamic. Beside that, the VP4 only runs in mono when in 4-cable methode, and those reverbs are so good that it would be a pity to run them in mono.

What is that little white box on your guitar? Lovely tone btw

That's a Wireless controller, that I'm working on. The "brain" is sitting on the board, and are controlling the Bloom, the Tsakalis and the VP4 via Bluetooth Midi 🙂

Thank you so much, the Mothership really makes playing easier, the feel from it is fanstatic 🙂 And it made me stop using modellers, cause no one of them can get near it ❤

Thank you do much 🙂

Yes I really love it, especially the touch, for me it's like playing a real amp, and together with the Bloom and the VP4 I really can get the sound that I wan't. Haven't tried the Friedman IR models, they are probably a bit more "tight" than the Mothership, which might be prefer by others. :)

Yeah, and then it has this feel to it, can't explain it just feels more like a real amp, than what I've tried of modellers. Btw. I ended up using that ElectroVoice speaker ir that in the editor. It's great :)

I haven't tried the Friedman IR-D, so can't compare. But I can for sure say that the Tsakalis Mothership is the best preamp/cab sim I've tried. :)

I haven't owned the Mothership, but I own their preamp that I believe the Mothership is based on. I also owned one of the Friedmans. If you prefer the tone of Friedman amps, then you can't go wrong with the IR-D. It is impressive that they were able to stay competitive on pricing while still capturing the tone of their amps. On the other hand, I found the Tsakalis preamp (Gravity Spot or G Spot), to be more tonally versatile and generally more to my liking. Of course, I have to run it through other power amp and cab (or sim). I may take a dive on the Mothership sooner or later and see how I like the power amp and cab sims...

@@HowlinTubes have tested quite a bit, and I think that the "Power Amp" step in the Mothership is a big part of it's response. But as I haven't tried the others I can't say for sure 🙂

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me ❤️

Yeah, when recording you really can find some sweet spots using a real amp, but also some terrible :) So depending on speaker sim the tradeoff can be more or less

Thank you so much, it means a lot to me 🙂

Wow, thank you so much. That's some of the finest words I've ever got about my guitar playing ❤️

@@adamdoran235 thanks a lot 🙂

Thanks a lot. Yes it’s something I’ve been working on for some time. And if everything goes well, I’ll present it here on the channel within the next couple of months 🙂

Thanks a lot 🙂 Sure i can't reach him, he's definitely one of the greatest 🙂

Thats a lot 🙂 Yeah, the last year the PRS has become my main guitar. For many years it has been a Hansen, but I just fell in love with this PRS. I like doing the unedited live jams, as i feel the music becomes more honest, all the small mistakes that will be a part of it. Didn't know Quist, will check him out 🙂

@@olzzonscorner Yes wonderful idea playing unedited - I came back for another listen - so nice!

@@Joel_Powell thank you so much, that means a lot to me 🙂

Thanks 🙂Well I’m not really promoting this channel, just like to share for the ones who likes it. So thank you very much 🙂

Thanks you so much ❤️

Thank you so much ❤

Wow, thanks 😊

Thanks a lot 😊 I was about to sell my helix when ver 3.6 got out, and i tried the Line6 Elmsley turned NFB down, and now it's my favorite amp of all times :)

Thank you so much 😊

Thanks a lot, i really appreciate your kind words 😊

Thanks a lot, but Gary Moore was beyond this world when it comes to playing :)

Thanks a lot 😊 Hope you'll have just as many great moments with your Silver Sky, as i have with mine 😊

Completely agree. I just love how it sings when played soft, and screams when you hit it. 😊

Thank's a lot 😊

I actually don't know who that is, so my only hope is he's not directly ugly 😅
