New Fractal FM9 floor unit - looks good!

Fixes most of the issues I have with FM3 - more like the AX8 in capability.

Announcing the New FM9 Amp Modeler/FX Processor | Fractal Audio Systems Forum

Twice the CPU of the FM3.

20.2″ x 9.2″ x 3.5″ (512mm x 233mm x 88mm) -- same dimensions as the FC-12

What a surprise, nothing on G66, so we’ll wait a year and pay through the nose, nice one Fractal

Wow!!!!! Will it support double amps?

Finally. I’m down.

Yep, two amps and two reverbs

Thanks for the heads up.   Looks great!

Looks really cool but you can guarantee it’s going to cost an arm and a leg compared to the competition over here in the UK.

Looks like my Axe 3 and FC12 will be going! I’ve joined the EU waitlist.

It’s priced more or less the same as the QC in the States. I think it’ll be a similar thing here.

USA cost is $1599
Not sure how costs of other units have been translating to £ - can anyone chime in on that?

Having been through the specs I think I could comfortably run all of my current AF3 patches on the FM9 and as it's exactly the same size as the FC12 it'll be a straight swap on my board...

I just picked up an FM3 which is a phenomenal unit. Does anyone know when these are due to land with g66? 

I'd like to get a good few months out of the FM3 before I splurge on one of these! 

TeleMaster

I don’t think anyone knows right now.

Woah.






Woah.

I'm getting one.

Oh. Now. This is good

Now you're talking and it'll be interesting to see the price! G66 say it'll be between £1599-1699 and I hope it's cheaper than the combined price of an FM3 and FC6.

I also hope to see some used FM3's up for sale for sub-£1K/£900 as one of those would do me, too.

Leon Todd has just put up a 20 min video and it's impressive

It has half the power of an Axe-Fx 3, will that be enough for what you'd want it to do?

Dedicated chips for reverb though which helps to free up some CPU

Yeah, the FM3 isn't enough on paper, but this has plenty of juice for me.

There’s a few YouTube videos that show adding the two highest quality reverb blocks only adds about 1% to cpu usage, due to the dedicated cpu which looks promising.
