The clarity on that gainy rhythm tone is unreal

[@guitarman5560]

Cripes those tones sound fabulous through my Adams studio monitors. Its making excited for the FM9 that I just ordered. Should get it by mid week next week.

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Don't forget the preset is available for purchase 😉 😀

[@musikvonandreas]

your Les Paul is unreal! Beautiful and great sounding!

[@eddiecancelmusic]

That sounds glorious! I emailed you asking for the preset. Good job on it!

[@dwg116]

wow that first tone is AMAZING!

[@r.llynch4124]

Best floor unit on the market by far

[@aguitarhero007]

💯

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

I do love the Fractal stuff. Awesome tones and playing 🔥🎸🤘

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Thanks very much James!

[@harrysearia1784]

Sounds so stinking good!!!!!!

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

BRILLIANT...Thanks a lot for all your videos!!! CHERRS, Tony. 🍻

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Thanks as always Cherry!

i own the Axe 3,Kemper Stage and QC but i prefer to play with my Kemper,i`ve been a fractal user since 2013,i still like the Axe 3 but Kemper is my number 1

[@MikaTarkela]

Sounds great! I'm using the FM3 and I'm considering switching to the FM9. I've been playing a while with the QC as well. Both of the units sound great but the FM3 has always been my favorite.

[@MOAB-UT]

get on the list. took me a year.

[@BagusWibisono]

which the reason you prefer FM9 over the QC?

[@MOAB-UT]

@@BagusWibisono There are many. For me, the tone is better. The effects, cab sims, crazy high res. stereo reverbs are on another level. QC has a better on unit interface but no PC interface but I think it is coming. They demoed something at NAMM 2023. Bottom line, QC is about 5+ years behind Fractal in terms of development. FM9 is a great modeler. Are you in the market for one? Which are you thinking of getting- and also, what are your specific needs- use case?

[@BagusWibisono]

@@MOAB-UT I think I’d go for fractal, for my tone that I searching for. I can more explor about anything of sound from fractal model and fx. Thanks buddy, you great!

[@MikaTarkela]

@@BagusWibisono It is not easy to describe but one reason is that for me the QC offers a bit too much gain (most of the time I play metal but I also play a lot with my strat) and when the gain is lowered it may sound a bit too thin and it still has some "leftover" artifacts / high end weirdness. I cannot put it into words but I just feel more comfortable playing through the FM3. That being said I still enjoy playing through the QC, it's just a matter of tweaking the settings and trying out what suits your playing style. One thing worth mentioning is that I had already found my favourite go-to tones with the FM3 and when I got the QC it felt like I was just chasing for the same kind of tone.

[@richandterimyers8982]

Great tones…very nice job! Would you consider uploading to the Ax-Change preset exchange?

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Please see pinned comment on how to get this preset thanks.

[@jongonzalez6917]

Sounds great! Great demo video. Ty!

[@KelsterVonShredster]

that super reverb clean patch sounded amazing

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

Hey Tony! How are you...? Just bought myself a GIBSON Les Paul Standard 1959 Reissue - from the Custom Shop. Could you do a video about your "Custom Shop" Les Pauls? I think you have two of those, one 1959 and one 1960 - right? CHEERS from germany, and thanks for all your excellent videos.

[@journeytree]

I feel like their choice of styling for the device as well as the naming scheme are probably hurting potential sales to more modern looking units like Helix. This reminds me of the Line 6 m9 or something from how it looks

[@Jaxisagod5]

Sounds great. Nice work!

[@babarishka]

Sounds great dude!!

[@landon.cunningham]

Are those the MOOER Footswitch Topper 'Shroom and the gearbyceba screen guards?

[@angrybalkon1471]

Awesome tone!!

[@steviesedge]

The tones here are stupid good!

[@Indianabones007]

[@christopherniegisch2889]

[@richardandersonipui1601]

How to purchase?

[@racercam8]

Is this thing hard to use? Would just want to assign the presets.

[@bleujazz3557]

Tony, thanks for this. Am not sure what amps you're utilizing for your gain stages other than the JTM45...unless it's simply drive effects...?

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

High gain amp is the JMP-1

[@bleujazz3557]

@@TonyEmeryGuitar Thanks!

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

By the way. What's your favourite rock band when you play guitar, and when you just listening to it...?

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

That would have to be Def Leppard 😁

[@rowemo]

Where did you get the plexi shields for the FM9? That is a BRILLIANT idea!!!

[@rowemo]

Side note: Make sure you are adding a link to your gear in the description. It helps the brands you use to get a better Search Engine Optimization score (Backlinks) and will help if or when you want to monetize your channel. Keep up the great work!!!

[@johnerodz7]

Bueno I love it Thank you

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

[@anthonyurciuoli4896]

[@droosa1970]

Killer tones

[@user-ky3dl7xm3i]

9 months is a long time between posts, Tony! Where ya been? :)

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

I know...I'm sorry 😔

[@NINERS8able]

Do the plug ins come set with the actual guitar tones. Like Mettalica or whatever band…

[@NINERS8able]

What speakers are you playing through to get stereo? Sounds incredible

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

I play through RCF monitors in the room but you are hearing the direct out into my recording device.

[@vspaulding1]

Thanks for Sharing:)

[@GlenLaForceMusic]

Sounds amazing! Are these presets available? Thanks for the tones.

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

As yet, non of my Axefx presets are available. If there's enough interest I might try to think of something to make that happen. Thanks!

[@Terrylr84]

Please make your presets available. They sound amazing. Thanks

[@theanalogkid4171]

@@TonyEmeryGuitar Please please share! Outstanding tones!

[@DigitalViperGaming]

Tony, I'd be happy to purchase this preset. Do you have it posted?

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

I don't have anything posted yet. If there's enough interest I might try and make something happen 😀

@@TonyEmeryGuitar That would be awesome. Your patches sound great!

Can you post up your patch? I would love to use it! Super phenomenal

[@geurtsema]

yes please post, share or sell!

[@letterli]

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Direct into PC. No amps

[@cliffordcline7547]

Where did you get the protectors for it? The sounds are fantastic!!

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Thanks. The protectors are from a company out of Poland called KNK Shields. Find them on Facebook.

[@JudgeFredd]

Where did you get the glass protection ?

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

KnK Shields. Based in Poland. They're on Facebook.

[@Milankalinak]

Hi, I'm interested in buying your Marshall presets. Would it be possible?

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

I think I'm gonna try to make something happen to enable people to get my presets. Stay tuned!

[@VP19662]

Hi, l’m interested in buying your Marshall presets. Would it be possible?!

[@JoeJaeger]

It has some of the best amp tones but the pitch block is weak. QC and other unites have better pitch.

[@leofrombakersfield]

Would Love to have this preset!!!! Sounds amazing!!!! Please consider sharing? or cost of a Starbucks coffee? Great sound man!!

Poor fellow got a touch Fractal Waiting List Trauma- By time you get your production device you feel like it’s a rare museum piece.

[@user-lg1xm6de2t]

Do you provide/sell your presets? They are great.

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Please see pinned comment on how to get this preset thanks.

[@vitalspark124]

Careful you might be blocking the air vent under the unit with it on a riser plate. It needs to span the whole width of the FM9

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Thanks James. That white box is actually a printer paper box 😂 I put it on there to raise it off my carpet for better ventilation for my FM9 but the box was too small and I just left it 😂 I need a better solution for sure!

[@Jason315NY]

You have preset for sale??

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Please see pinned comment on how to get this preset thanks.

[@ElAguilasilut]

Too digital, almost the same sounds as Boss GT1000, but this one hyped price way

[@TonyEmeryGuitar]

Mate, the 'too digital' response is dead in the water now. If you think this unit sounds digital then I honestly don't know what to say. You're in the 0.0001%

[@billyarsenault1970]

Yeah I gotta say that was a fucking awful take this late in the game brother. If there’s something about a tube amp you need then you can still use one instead but decent ones will be 10 grand soon unless playing thru 5 unobtainable PCB boards in a ply-wood box with hot valves does not bother you. Hard to deny that the Fractal stuff sounds stellar in person and as far as price Fractal will always be working effectively 24/7 365 to make everything even better than it was just the day before so the list price is a bargain in the long run. 🤘🏻
