Yes! Love the Friedman BEs. My go to amp on Fractal and Helix. They just sound & feel ‘right’.

[@LeonTodd]

Instantly gratifying at those stock settings too.

[@kevinabernathy5894]

Love your tips on the FM3, Leon! You rock!

[@LeonTodd]

Cheers mate!

[@michaelgeeves3026]

I love the Friedman amps in at Axe Fx. They just win for me everytime. Thanks for the preamp tip!

[@798125]

Thanks so much for these five minute tones segments, love them Leon! My faves are the BE 100, Atomica and IIc++!

[@LeonTodd]

i see we have very similar taste :)

[@3745green]

Music over my head. Awesome as usual

[@LeonTodd]

I hear music!

[@Smittefar1]

That negative feedback trick on the BE sounds great

[@LeonTodd]

It's just enough to tame the boom without losing the unique character these amps have.

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

The BE is probably my favourite amp on the Axe-Fx but there are so so many great amps on there! Great tones Leon!

[@constantinosmavroyannis9409]

The friedman models everywhere i've heard them always sound so recognisable and yet they are so versatile. it's as if friedman himself appears in a cloud over the developers of these models and tells them exactly what to do

[@LeonTodd]

Dave is the Marshall whisperer.

[@rockinrob1378]

Well, that's exactly what we did for Fractal. For the BE models, Cliff got schematics, amps and access to Dave. great collaboration.

[@rickbrunet2559]

Love that clean rock n roll sound. It's not muddy or overly distorted.

[@LeonTodd]

It's angry but articulate, an awesome combo

[@rickbrunet2559]

[@svenzia]

Awesome channel i just discovered. Thanks Leon!

Epic as always... killer trick , (thx to Leon) horizon precision drive in front of fm3...gasoline to 🔥

Can't wait to have my FM3! I decline the first batch as I really need a headphone jack.

Dude it was so hard holding off till tonight to watch when I saw it pop up this morning! The Friedman models are one reason I am on the waitlist for an FM3! Can’t wait to play one with my Les Paul. I love Dave’s amp tones and options, just can’t afford (or justify to the wife) a true BE100 Deluxe. Good advice on the neg feedback tweak. Thanks for this one! 👍

[@LeonTodd]

they're worth the cost of admission alone - SO good

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Thanks Leon! Nice what you did switching guitars, thought I heard a bite of " I don't need no doctor!" Thanks for sharing brother, Be Well All!

[@LeonTodd]

You've got keen ears young Steven!

@@LeonTodd Yep ..Ty's sound and style was a big influence......er .. back in the day.

[@joeywilder9708]

I’ve got the Friedman be 50 deluxe and it’s a great amp man you need to get your hands on 1. Anyway I’m watching a bunch of your videos on the fm 3 because I’m trying to start a KZbin channel and also get a decent recording set up and it just seems like the way to go for all the sounds and easy recording purposes. I’m brand new to recording so hopefully it won’t be to much of a learning curve I’m trying to learn everything I can from videos.

[@rangerdoc1029]

Does Fractal have a Wizard Modern Classic model? IMO, it's like a vintage voiced SLO, but more raw. That one amp alone would be worth the cost of a Fractal.

[@LeonTodd]

Not yet but it's been requested a lot. The Atomica High model cops a bit of that "Marshall on human growth hormone" vibe though.

[@wakjob961]

Dave on either 'ToneTalk' or Pete Thorn's Sunday show, said that Line 6 did a fantastic job simulating the BE100. That said, I'm really liking the Marsha here ;-)

[@csgband]

Thanks, sounds so good, where will I find LT TV Mix 2. Thanks, Chris

[@davidyanity]

Toooooonnnnnnnneeeee!

[@LeonTodd]

These are worth the price of entry alone, such a great rock'n'roll amp

[@Dan_XF07]

Great tone as always! Dude.. let me ask you please, On Fm3 I can create clean and drive tones on the "Fender.. Marshal.. Vox" amps using the same amp. I just make adjustments to the drive and equalize and it works. But on the Friedman amps it simulates, I can't create a clean at all. I've tried to leave the drive at "zero" I've tried to equalize.. but the timbre always stays with the drive loaded. The tone is nice, but not clean. How would I create a clean timbre in Fm3? I've seen in the real amp that the "BE100" for example has a clean channel. In fact it is very beautiful. So I see people switch channels between clean and drive. But in fm3 I can't leave clean. Could you give me some advice please? Cheers!

[@TheScaredofsilence]

Thanks for the presets. I love the fm3, but find that I have to dial out a lot of low end on pretty much all of the presets and amps.

[@atkef2]

those martin. A smith pickups sound amazing compared to the prs one. what specific MAS pickups do you have in your les paul? :)

[@MrMariodraiby1]

Does there any new release for a big FM3 has everything maybe on the road 😊 i think will be called FM8 🍻 5150 is on the fm3 ? And btw any latency?

[@LeonTodd]

5150 Block letter, 6505, 5150 III 50w and 5150 III 100w are all modelled. Latency is about 2ms which is not noticeable.

[@sadwingsraging3044]

Squishy in drop C!

[@LeonTodd]

Super! Makes me think so much of the "heaviness" of old Sabbath was the fact Tony tuned down while everyone else stayed in standard

[@sadwingsraging3044]

@@LeonTodd Were blues guitars, electric and acoustic, played in drop tuning for the most part? As much as I listened to the blues in my life, and being born in Memphis that means all of my life, I have never actually thought of how the tuning of a guitar was done. Hard to think of a good blues tune with bright cheerful guitar sounds come to think of it. Grab that Tele and maybe give us a 5 minute tones of suggesting some great blues guitar amps and settings on the FM3? Hopefully that 5 minutes turns into at minimum 15 minutes because of 'blues'. Which leads to southern rock obviously and THAT deserves a 30 minute tones all by itself and giving it some eh' ! On another note have you ever thought of doing a few videos on the history of the guitar, the history of the differing styles of music, then the history of effects from cutting speakers to the Axe3?

[@LeonTodd]

Open d and open g tunings are not for slide stuff and blues - tuning to suit the singer makes a lot of sense there.

[@briancnningham8629]

Cant never seem to get the lt tv mix cab on axe change

[@LeonTodd]

You need to go to the website to grab it, doesn't sync via FM3 edit for whatever reason axechange.fractalaudio.com/detail.php?cab=666

@@LeonTodd thanks leon love ur videos by the way

[@michaelgregory25]

What version firmware are you using on your fm3? I don't see the CC boost on mine...

[@LeonTodd]

The latest public beta

[@JRFarmercom]

What makes the PRS so dark? What pickups you got in there?

[@LeonTodd]

Stock pickups in the PRS. It's interesting that two guitars with similar specs can sound so different.

[@randalljax]

the les Paul has a flame maple top that is likely adding brightness as well as the pickups

[@AA-fw5pc]

friend, why did you completely forget about ax8? not everyone has the money to replace it with fm3. please make a video for ax8 owners so that we don't feel inferior)

[@LeonTodd]

I gave my AX8 to my Dad so I don't have it on hand unfortunately,which is the biggest factor in doing more vids. It will make periodic appearances when I can borrow it though.

[@AA-fw5pc]

Leon Todd thank you so much.
