Trying out the Fractal Audio FM3 in the way that I would use it for, in a live setting.

Today I'm a little out of focus, but that's ok! I got to try the FM3 and it made me happy!

Love the inclusion of the room and close mics. A+++ so we get a real sense of it.

Hi Ola, I'm not sure how to say this without sounding sheltered.. But I'm 35 and thanks to you I've just discovered the band Pantera (How I missed it over the last 25 years is another story), thank you.. Im in a pretty bad mental state at the moment, but finding this band has given me a brand new perspective on life. I can't say thank you Ola enough.

The Friedman HBE 2018 C45 is my amp of choice, too! BTW, Ola, a small tip maybe that you should have power amp modelling on and send a direct signal to front of house and send a signal with no cab emulation to your backline for stage monitoring. That way you can have the best of both worlds live. Your sound will be 100% consistent on tour and you would still have all the volume you need on stage for feedback and pushing air.

New Content idea: Show modelers, pedals or amps on a live stage. With a drummer and a bass player. No one has done this yet. Every youtuber is only showing the gear used as a standalone unit. The sounds that are needed in a live band are often much different, from the tones you would use in a studio.

[WokeUpScreaming]

The "cheesy" vibe from the harmonizer comes from the harmonizer being placed after your amp block, so it's shifting your amp tone up. If there's a way you can put it before the amp, and send the harmony signal into a second separate amp block, it will sound ten times better. :)

FM3 with the FC6 and an EV-1 is the ultimate way to run imo. Yes you can do it with the FM3/EV alone without question, but when used with the FC6 in OMG9 layout it is phenomenally flexible and a breeze to use.

Having owned an FM9 for over a year now, I can tell you that I could have easily just bought an FM3.

Excellent demo! I've been going back and forth between the HX Stomp XL and the FM3. This puts the FM3 in the lead.

[ruben]

Thank you for making a video on how to use this in a "Live" situation. It seems like every video on Youtube dedicated to a Fractal/Helix/or other modeling device is strictly focussed on using it for recording or going direct into the sound board. You get it dude! And we appreciate you!

[alexandersokolov]

Such a great approach for making a kickass review of a new gear for live musicians in live situations! Thanks!

[backingtrackscave]

I would love to see you demoing the new Neural Dsp Quad Cortex 😁

[thomasshredster]

No one's gonna talk about Ola's shirt?... okay...

[MrFreezeMusic]

I’ve been waiting for months for you to demo the FM3! Thanks man!

[ampeguy]

Just got mine yesterday. It’s the 1st piece of Fractal equipment I own. Worth every penny. Almost makes me wanna delete every amp sim plug-in I have on my computer lol. But seriously wow. Loving it 🤙🏾.

[brettshawver]

Dude that sounds fantastic! Kick ass beastly tone out of a smaller unit & for me personally - this price point puts Fractal square in my sights. The only downside (if you can call it that) is now there's another piece of gear causing my perpetual GAS to flare up!!! As we all know GAS never sleeps & is an insatiable beeotch! Excellent video as always! Keep doing the good

[ericelde]

Navigating through the 8 scenes per preset isn't too bad though, just hold the right footswitch and three more scenes. Doesn't really need a 4th f/s in that case imho.

Great unit though, game changer for its size, anything that fits in a backpack or small carry bag is the best. Plus IEC power cord, no adapter. Phenomenal

[JPskter]

My FM3 is keeping me busy during these times for sure!

[AlexGifford]

I love my FM3 thanks for the tips with it! I’m new to the Fractal world but I plug into my 5153 fx loop and it sounds killer!

[GearGasms]

100% on the use of the expression pedal to control the harmony level. Top notch tip!
