I know their racks are fan cooled (which is why I refuse to have one - the noise does my head in) - but I don't know about the FM9.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Actually I'd be the same - wouldn't want a fan going
My chain is comp -> distortion -amp -> cab ->reverb -> delay -> eq and it has no issues at all. I have more complex patches for recording.
theres hopefully and update to the firmware soon which is looking like a game changer (check out the fractal forum if you’re interested)
it’s a fair bit bigger than the stomp, just to be aware in case you’ll be desk mounting it :-)

Blimey. I thought that was about where the FM9 was, and that the 3 was plenty cheaper.

I have no need for any more power.
The Fractal interface is not as intuitive as Line6 but the more you use it, the easier it gets.
The Fractal offers a FAR greater depth of tweakability IF you want it but you don't have to deep dive to get great sounds. I'd highly recommend the Cooper Carter masterclass - it's not cheap but I found it to be a really worthwhile investment for learning how to get the most from the FM3.
Based on my personal experience, the FM3 is a more capable unit and I do think it sounds better. I like the fact that it's powered via a mains IEC cable rather than an adapter too. None of this should detract from the capability of the HX Stomp though - it's still a very, very good unit and much more compact but if I had to pick one at gunpoint, the FM3 would get the nod.
I bought HX Stomp first…it’s a fantastic unit….but….for me the FM3 is of superior quality.
starting with the build…when placed side by side…the HX Stomp looks like a toy….as the FM3 is build like a tank…I think the reverbs etc sound fuller/bigger….to my ears anyway…again…not taking anything away from the HX Stomp..as I said it’s a fantastic unit…but I would take the FM3 over the HX Stomp.
My 2p is that they are both really good. Think it's easier to get a good sound from the FM3, with less tweaking. That could be because the presets in Helix land are total mince The Fm3 presets are a really good starting point.
The variety in fractal land is just incredible tho. Your imagination is the limit.
