That's an intense layout.
Couple of Q's...
1. Are you running the delays, chorus and flange in parallel just to help fit the blocks in the grid? or is there a tonal reason you're doing it that way? I usually run everything in a chain and use the mix knob to control how wet things get.
2. Any reason for using the send and return rather than output and input?? Are you patching in external hardware? I do similar, but go out of output 3 on the FM9 and back into input 2 (I think - haven't got FM Edit in front of me at the min...)
Wondering if using a send and return would be better or possibly be better way of achieving the same thing. I assume it's identical in terms of sound and latency etc, but y'know. Worth an ask.
Getting so I actually prefer the sound of the Fractal rig now...
Thought the amp sounded a bit thin in the room, I couldn't hear it very well, I had less sounds at my disposal etc.
Also, one of my bands has just started using IEMs with a semi silent stage, and hearing the FM9 coming back through them in stereo is an absolutely glorious thing. The guitar sound I have in my ears (and FOH) is unreal. HUUUUUUGE!!

Why are FX in parallel? In the case of the Delays it’s so I can switch to a different delay sound, and leave the tail of the previous Delay to decay naturally. If I change to a different channel in the same block then I lose the tail. If I put two blocks in series then I get delayed delay.

A similar thing is going to happen if several stereo field FX are used together. Each will apply its own rules about which parts of the signal are panned where, and by how much they are delayed. Put them in parallel, and you’ll have three virtual sound sources, one Chorused, one Flanged, and one straight through. Put them in series and each will re-process its predecessor. What was once going left might go right, and be double delayed. It will sound confusing.
