That’s not a good thing at all…

Anyone have any recommendations for a pedalboard for a FM3 and EV2 to live on? May potentially add a two button foot switch also (mosky etc). I’ve looked into the usual suspects (temple audio 17, nux bumblebee). Anyone with any experience to add? Cheers

I use the D’addario xpsnd for my FM9 FC6 setup, very handy and versatile

Harley Benton Spaceship 40 comes in at £56 delivered.

My SS40 is covered in pedals but there is a strong likelihood of me getting an FM3 in the future. I'll keep the SS40 just for that. More than enough room for an EV2 and an Hotome Ampero Switch to live next to the main unit. You can also adjust the slats using an allen key.

Warwick Rockboard? I've got an FM9 and a few things on a 4.2 and previously had an FM3 and expression pedal on a 3.1.

Pedal Playground is useful for working out what fits on what

Cheers gents, plenty to contemplate

I'm currently using a Temple Duo 34 for my FM9 and 2 Mission pedals. It was a bit bigger than I needed, but very easy to cut down to size and is pretty lightweight.

I think they do smaller ones for an FM3 and pedal

Anyone else getting some weird issues with the AFX3 27.01 release and the new USB driver?

I keep getting lock-ups, freezes, disconnects and even had to re-install the USB driver after turning on my FM9 dropped the AFX3 connection... which is a new one.

Any news on the supposed fx only unit allegedly being released? Did Andy Wood piss in the cabbage?

AndyJP

What has Andy Wood said? Missed that.

Ah, is this the new hardware that’s been mooted? 

If it’s an fx only unit, I’d be pretty tempted, I think.  Will be interesting to see what they come up with. It’ll likely be pretty good whatever it is.

Apparently he made some references to it in an Anderton s video.. haven't watched it yet...

There's a ridiculously long thread on the Fractal forum with people trying to guess what it is. 

Only thing that's been divulged so far is that it's not like any of their existing products, so it could be an FX only unit, but if so it begs the question why they discontinued the FX8.

I think the FX8 used different technology.

That thread is a wreck. Loads of hilarious* circle-jerking about waffle irons… 

*it’s ginger_kid_laughing.jpg kinds of hilarious. 

Much like some of the humour on this forum to be fair. Perhaps it’s a guitar forum thing…

That could be interesting then....

The FX8 was a great unit

Heartfeltdawn

Please please please be an FX only unit. No amps whatsoever. 

sweepy

if its Fx only, I might get one for 4cm with my Two Rock or run in sterep

Aidanspaghetti

How about fx and loadbox/ir loader? Yay or nay
