Thank you for this video and all your videos on the channel. I wanted to ask your opinion about a problem I'm experiencing on my FM9. I have a James Tyler guitar with HSS pickups (Duncan JB and 2 landau coils), and basically if I use the factory settings on input1 (AD sensivity 50% and Input gain 1,000) I get a very strange saturated sound (bloated in the low frequencies). I tried creating a basic amp band-commander preset at its default settings and it sounds saturated. To get a clean sound I am forced to set AD sensivity on Input1 to 20% and Input Gain to 0.25). What really makes a difference is the input gain, whereas AD sensivity simply allows the signal to clip less frequently if I hit hard with the bridge pickup. I still get this kind of sound even if I use other guitars.... (my standard les paul, or a squier mini strat with 3 single coils). Could you please tell me what values you usually use like AD sensivity and input gain on your fractal? Could this be a fault of the FM9? I also recorded some samples by recording my pc screen. If you are interested I can send you a link from where you can download them. Thanks if you want to answer me
