    That will change, probably several times.

    So, update!! G66 opened a case with UPS and informed me that they will in parallel send me a new unit and get UPS to charge them the VAT so I don’t get stung twice.

    However, as if by magic UPS have now found my original parcel in Herne and is now on its way and is due to be delivered Tuesday.

    Im not holding my breath on UPS’s behalf but G66 again have knocked it out of the park for customer service - why can’t they all be like G66?!!

  • I got my confirmation from the ever great Sussi that my FM3 is ready on Friday, so payment made this afternoon and the exciting wait for delivery starts.

    Unfortunately I had an awful experience with UPS these last weeks. My guitar from Germany was stuck on PENDING or something similar for weeks. Then it just turned up. Don’t bother with calling customer services, they are useless. It’ll turn up, but when is the question...

    Can you ask them to use someone other than UPS?

  • On my email from Sussi it says you can pay twenty Euros to have one to three day delivery, but normal free delivery is currently three to five days. I will update the forum on my delivery experience.

    Last weekend I signed upto the wait list

     “ we expect to have an FM3 for you in about 4 weeks. We will inform you when we get a more precise shipping date.“

    Edit; I asked to be taken off the waiting list, mainly because of the inability to use dual amps & the arrival of Neural Quad Cortex is imminent.

    Can't work out how much these are all in. About £1200?

    Also - how do these compare to Helix?

    About £1300 once delivered. 

    I think it’s much better than the Helix.

    I paid £958.64 to G66 and £191.39 to UPS.

    £1150.03 in total.

  • I just paid £926.60 yesterday, G66/Sussi have given me free XLR cables. I then have to pay the 20% vat to UPS on delivery. So some way off £1300

    How does it compare vs
    i) Atomic Amplifire
    ii) a half decent valve amp

  • @NelsonP the delays and verbs in the FM3 are really beautiful and it's a nice way into the fractal universe where there's like 280+ amps modelled.

    Like with any modeller, going between playing that through studio monitors to an amp in the room is still not the same

    My bad. Mine was about £1200 after everything. £1196. It was before New Years, exchange rate must have been unfavourable compared to now and I used PayPal.

    The FM3, imho, destroys the Atomic.

    Agreed, I had an Amplifire 3 and didn’t get on with the fizzy sounds. Have an axefxIII and it’s way better sounding.
    Karma......

    This is not the answer that my bank manager wants to hear!

    Plus, the CYGNUS firmware is going to drop for the FM3 soon... and if it's anything like the AFX3 CYGNUS FW, it's a very big game changer.

    Getting very interested in the FM3.  As a Helix user I’m not that up on Fractal stuff, could someone a plain what’s missing from the FM3 when compared to the Axefx 3?
