Fractal's New 8.0 Firmware For FM3 Is Awesome!

[@wolfnstrings]

I like seeing you work directly on the unit. Everyone else seems to use the PC screen.

[@ChasingSoundGuitar]

Thanks for the feedback. In the future I’d like to do somewhat of a combo of working on the unit and using the edit tool.

[@hotglassbottles]

I should try a Fractal one of these days. They do seem extremely capable!

[@ChasingSoundGuitar]

You definitely should!!! There’s a ton of great patches I can share with you

[@oscarm4154]

Cool with the gapless but today even a Ampero Stomp 2 does it

[@ChasingSoundGuitar]

you're totally right. That took a while for them to enable. I just love how often Fractal puts out updates. Seems like out of all the diff. modelers, they release the most stuff in the lifetime of a product.

Great, informative vid! I love many of the amps but right now the RockerVerb-50 (Orange) is giving me incredible Marcus King tones. The Brit2203 & VoxAC-30 Top Boost are also my go-to's when I'm feeling more creative.

[@ChasingSoundGuitar]

You can do some really magical things with the Vox AC models. Especially when you have a boost or fuzz in front of everything, it gets fun.

I think my favorite amp is the JM45. I use a Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold pedal in front. Sounds pretty sick. Btw clean your FM3 man!

[@ChasingSoundGuitar]

The JM45 is great. I gotta check out that Acapulco Gold pedal. I dig Earthquaker stuff, but I hadn't checked that out yet. My FM3 usually has plastic covers for the screens, but sometimes dust gets in the cracks. haha at least you know it's being used.

We use the FM3 with our feet, so most of us are okay with the fact that it'll look a little dirty and dusty.

[@Haunting1981]

@@MarkLumsley lol and I drive my car with my feet but you best believe that I wash that thing regularly.

[@ChasingSoundGuitar]

@@MarkLumsley truth! 😆
