I use two of these T/R type dual switches and I effectively now have 7 switches to play around with on my FM3! It's truly a gift that keeps on giving.

Great way to run it. What do you have assigned to them?
@saarangnarayan1233 жыл бұрын
@@LeonTodd still experimenting but currently have the 3 switches on the FM3 doing presets and banks (on long press); one dual switch is for drive and rotary, the other dual switch has one switch toggling between scene 1 (rhythm) and scene 2 (solo) and the second switch does a simple scene increment. The idea with the second switch is if I need a special kind of a sound, say like your rhythmic delay, I can toggle to that and then toggle straight back to scene one (rhythm) with the first switch instead of having to go back to the first scene via two stomps as decrements. Hope this makes sense? 😅

I built a similar box to have two extra switches in the mean time I don't need to play live. Instant access to 4 scenes and a tap tempo/tuner switch. I could see myself gigging with just this.

What's up Leon, killer work as always. Question - I have the same NUX setup/FM3 and have it set up the way I want....except....is there a way to have the NUX's LED's on/off according to what effects are enabled/disabled? I've tried several combinations on the switch on the NUX as well as setting on the FM3, but can't figure the lights out. Not a showstopper, but would be nice to have. If I'm seeing your video right, the LED's on your NUX are only blinking, too and only flash and then turn off, regardless, right?

Hi In fm3 in the Standin switch menu, under the external FM3 sw1 (tip ring) and FM3 sw2 (tip ring) there are 8 more switches FC1 sw1 sw2 sw3 sw4 FC2 sw1 . . ........sw4 only the Layout function can be assigned to these 8 switches. I can't find anything in the manual or on youtube about those switches and what they do...help would be appreciated.. Thank in advance...

I have a question for you. I also have the FM3, and I normally set my input to never reach the red led. It goes to the orange at maximum. That's because I normally reduce a little bit the input. Is there a problem with with that, or I'm losing signal? To be perfectly clear, I don't tank it, I just take enough so it doesn't go red. Thanks

@@LeonTodd I have to admit, I have never used the detune effect until now. I am impressed at the width it adds. As the sole guitar in a live band, I have spent years looking for ways to fill sonic space.
