Im really glad you got a FM3 ....this is a unit on my radar. Love boss units as a unit but its in dire need of decent realistic sounding gain amps. My Helix is incredible btw....but you are the best at getting great diverse tones out of units already especially on the boss stuff....now you will be able to tell us if Fractal is actually a step above like we all read abd hear people say 💯
Performance pages (preset and global) are awesome! Yes, the Fractal units have what is an admittedly overwhelming number of parameters that can be tweaked. While almost everything can be tweaked on the hardware unit itself, it would require an almost impossible level of knowledge to QUICKLY adjust something on the fly at a gig. Enter performance pages. You can MAP virtually any parameter to one of the five physical knobs on the unit. My personal favorites are the amp master volume and the output level but you could also map things like reverb mix, delay time, etc. You have ten parameters you can map that apply GLOBALLY to every preset, and ten PER PRESET. To access, hit the right "pages" arrow two times and boom! there they are.
FM3 is BETTER than they say. EVERYBODY (rightfully) talks glowingly about the effects and amp models, but the secret weapon is the foot switch management. To call it next level would be underselling it. I can EASILY get through a gig using only TWO of the three switches. It's ingenious.
I made two comments on this, one about your reverb block not connected and one about the preset “Bad” being for the U2 song of the same name. Were they deleted? Why?
To me ToneX and FM3 are both keepers. ToneX is undoubtedly the best to have a huge collection of great amps but fm3 also offer nice ones, you just have to learn to tweek deeply. Effects are great.
Loving the outfit 🎸
Enjoy and Happy New Year!🔥
Thanks!!! Happy new year :)

Am a fan of your channel. The FM3 is awesome! Am now looking forward to more of your vids on this awesome device. Greetings and HNY from Down Under.
Thanks man! Stay tuned :) Greetings
Welcome to the family! Great piece of gear.
Thanks man :)
FM3 much better than the VP4 more options

Hey Jamie, I answered your comments, so I didn't delete them. No idea mate.

Agree :) Cheers
@@JucaNeryGuitar Or not. Just pick something you know and dial it in as you would!
@@rockstarjazzcat 👍
Fractal is the best, totally pro
Yeah!
What is the exact model of this Ibanez? Looks and sounds fantastic
Thanks man! This one: Ibanez RG1070PBZ Premium Cerulean Blue Burst
@@JucaNeryGuitar I had one too, but the charcoal black burst version :)
@@thibderobAKAfremen It's a great guitar!!!
The “Bad” preset is for the U2 song Bad. Great fun to play this. I got my FM3 a few years ago, great little unit!
On your “my first tone” preset your reverb block isn’t connected.
I have the fm3 and Apollo solo, you can connect it direct with xlr ...
I'm using SPDIF now :)
Have fun!!! 🤙🏻
p.s. That Reverb block on your first patch isn't in the chain. ;-)
@@rockstarjazzcat Yeah! lol
Excellent.
Thanks :)
