That is so comprehensive, you covered all the things that I wondered about.

[MattMacKo]

That seems awesome! I'm on the waiting list for the FM9!

[curlzwalk]

Great video! I'm getting ready to implement the FC-6 with my FM3, so this was the perfect video to see real world application!! I appreciate your commentary on your use and experience with it. Love me some Fractal! God Bless you my Brother! : )

[danpfeifer]

Thanks for the Fractal content. I have used Fractal for over 10 years. Just ordered the FM3 and FC6 yesterday, looking forward to upgrading from the AX8.

Sounded great man! Love the FM3 videos. I have owned and used them all but I am absolutely loving the capability of the OMG9 setup. Hoping to see a few more videos in the future. Thanks for everything you are doing!! Love this!

[joeljohnson]

Love this setup. Moved from the helix and I'm more than happy

[bryanstone]

Appreciate the video. I currently use two HeadRush units (Pedalboard, Gigboard) on my worship team. Generally, I rehearse with the Gigboard on my office table and then use the Pedalboard for all the live work. No complaints with the HR gear at all, good sounding. I've been on the fence between upgrading to either Helix or an FM3 set up. Love the use of the FC6. Seems like I'd be able to use the FM3 on my desk and just grab and go...

[seraphym]

Thank you for this video. I just got this set up yesterday and trying to get myself acquainted with it.

[pizzaburgerparty]

Sounds great Brian. See you on the next one 👏❤️

[ROKZLEON]

Sounds great man!!! Change the FM3 switching to up/down banks and you've got a winner on your hands!!! 👦🏻

[Reyvil]

Im debating swapping my board for the fm3 .
On another note I just hate the 3 song rule in churches these days geeze sooo upsetting... i miss thebgood old days where playing 6+ songs was the usual.

[Fabiozenarii]

How can I watch this live day ? What is the channel of the church ? If possible send the link 💪🏼

[bleeddean]

Is there or can you make a video on how to set this up??

[wolfnstrings]

I plan to use an FM3 with the eventide H9 for a bonus effect like pitch.

[tonykennedy]

Don't forget Tap/Hold, you can come up with some really clever switching options there

[eexwiocvo]

Dear Brian,
Amazing video! Could you please suggest where can I watch the full version of the concert, some elements of which are shown from 5:50?

[javsmith]

Is your church open? What state are you in?

[Jaymze]

Could an external tap be hooked up in this setup? I'm always having to tap in tempo.

[johnerodz]

Hi Buddy amazing videos thank you ok. I can connect the aviom in-ear system to the Kemper Stage {mini jack to aviom headphone jack to kemper return L-R }to listen to the seq or tracks "for church or live perf" so i can listen exactly my guitar setup the way i set it up at home and it sounds the same because i plug my in-ears to the Kemper instead of the Aviom System, can we do the same thing with the FM3? please say and show us 🤞Thank you in advance

How did you assign the footswitch color on scenes mode by per preset?
I tried to change the color but it always change the color by global.
