How manty of you would sit through a video covering every single effect type next?
I definitely would.
For sure 100%
Well I do have some down time. I might have to break it up and days. Lol
Me!
I just did!👍
Very useful and clear... Thank you for your brilliant engag !! ❤
Fantastic video Leon, a lot of work and much appreciated. By the way I sat through it all 🎸🙏
You're the reason I got my FM9 Turbo. 🙂 I love fiddling about with sounds and the Fractal is endless fun.
So glad to hear you're enjoying it. It's like getting the keys to the toy store!
Man, you such a great musician and geek of sound...i discovered your channel when i was searching for TC electronic G-force videos.
I'm on the fences beetween the FM9 and TMP or maybe QC...you are really helpful ! Thanks mate.
Top! Amazing tones!
I love that you explain things in details. Learnt so much from your videos about shaping the tone. Keep it up.
Happy to hear that!
Awesome video, super useful way to understand the way a lot of the effects work and can be used
Glad to hear that!
That was very good, Leon. Thanks.
Awesome tutorial Leon! Love the tips, tricks and suggestions! Champion!
The pleasure is all mine!
Just found your channel, this demo of FX is exactly what I was looking for, fun and well done, so, thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Kudos on your excellent playing and obvious mastery of the Fractal. It would take weeks of full-time study for me to get up to speed on that unit. I think I'll be standing pat on my modest pedal board and combo amp.
Sounds great Leon!
This is golden!
I can’t thank you enough Leon.
You are the man.
🤘
Such a good video, got a lot of ideas from this, thanks Leon!
Glad it was helpful!
Leon you are amazing…just when I was at a point where I thought the Axe Fx III was too much for me you come out with this awesome video.
Simple, effective, and got me back on track. I literally stopped your video dozens of times so I could take notes. Well done and thank you!
PS: That Stratocumulus reverb is pure sweetness!
My pleasure mate! The cloud style verbs are indeed beautiful.
After having studied the world of recording a little more, to understand the manipulations, interactions between all these parameters (amps, cabs, IR etc...fx pedals) I believe that the purchase of the FM3 was one of my good purchases . Long term use will be very useful to me. I'm not a professional musician but, home studio, live, reamp, he's my new friend. I already have the fx2xl axis and I think I wasn't ready...because now, I no longer struggle to make a guitar sound. Thank you Leon for everything you made me understand. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Congrats mate! Merry Christmas
I love this video. You’re a blessing man.
You are!
Fantastic as always, because of all your instructional Video's I did not ever have to read the manual 🙃
Great to hear!
many thanks leon , Excellent!!
Very welcome!
Love your in-depth and deep dives into the Fractal stuff and yes I would probably watch a run through of all the effects. Would also really appreciate sounds which are in between the heavy rock stuff you play and the ultra clean amp settings you use. Some chordal indie / edge of break-up sounds would be great. Thx.
Great suggestion!
Amazing Tones wow mind blowing 🙌🏻
Thanks a lot 😊
I'd sit through it. As my time allows.
Thanks for the work you do...
Like your professionalism, your to the point video presentations.
And
And really appreciate your musicical talents.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the IRs!!! They sound incredible through my FM9.
Glad you like them!
To answer your original question Leon, I would love in depth info on each effect, I particularly liked how you touched on different amp/cab types with the effects blocks, as the use varies etc. I enjoy seeing the tweaking sure, but the why to tweak a setting and for what application is really key, thanks!
Sounds good!
This is truly a great video! The ON/OFF compare is key to what is happening. Thanks you for showing that, it's MONEY!!
You are so welcome!
Love the Dual Delay, the main one I use. I love running the feedback on Delay #2 negative to phase reverse that side. Mega wide!
Great trick hey!
This was a great overview of all kinds of different effects I didnt even know how to utilize on my FM9, well done! Maybe you could spend more time going deeper into the order of things in the signal chain? i.e. why you would ever choose to place an effect before an amp vs after, etc. Cheers dude
Excellent question. I'll do my best to cover that in future videos.
Really??? You couldn’t even alphabetize everything for us 😅
Thx for all the work you did here.
Hopefully there’s plenty of us who can never get enough of these comprehensive effect demos, overviews and deep dives with your tasteful playing.
Sounds better than ever as it should by now with all the work you put in over the years.
Thx again for sharing everything.
This was pretty fun! Nice change for me
Great stuff Leon..Totally loved this ...lupin loves that milk delay as long as it's not too long..
He much prefers a very short delay :p
@@LeonTodd fur sure 😺
Wow.. That clean with the coil tapped is awesome, and the clean with the reverb up and sounds like caverns or something was awesome too! Very cool, and of course I love the more is more gain! Can't get enough.. What a cool chorus on the clean..
The chunk with the gain / dirty with the ozzy was perfect sounding brother! Very cool.
Just cool tones brother. That axeFx rocks..
Very cool tones brother.. As always..
So, is the FM 3 older than the FM9? Or are they both ax3's? I'm confused because I see fm3's much cheaper lately on Reverb, and the FM9's way up there.. Interesting..
Thanks man..
Be well my friend. God speed sir!
They're all part of the current "generation" of fractal units, so they share the same amp/fx algorithms. FM9 came out a little after the FM3 though.
love those reverb tones
Fractal verbs ❤
awesome prs
It's a good one!
Great fun! I could spend all day on my FM3 just exploring like this….
Getting some real Zappa vibes from your current look man!
Wow, best video yet! This might end up being THE definitive FM9/AFX demo video. I know you’re extremely generous with your work, but are all of those blocks on the forum? I don’t think I’ve seen them all. If they’re not, would you be so kind as to share them?
Here ya go! forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/blocks-library-updated-for-2023.187414/
Thanks!! You’re the best!!
That DGT sounds phenomenal (as do you and the fractal stuff)
They really surpassed their already high standards with the DGT. Just a phenomenal instrument.
Epic!
First lol. Thanks for all these Fractal vids and Rack vids your the main reson i have a Axe Fx 3 & a ever growing collection of rack gear.
This is the way!
I've said it before: I love my Helix, but the Fractal universe is just an alternate reality. Wonderful tones. I'd love to see you do something like this with the Helix sometime.
Time to bust the stomp out :D
@@LeonToddnot enough dsp! 😢
🔥🔥🔥
9:27-9:30 Nice quote from Quarterflash’s “Harden My Heart”.
I heard what you did there. 😬
Nice catch!
I'm mentally preparing myself (🙃) to buy fm9 so this video is definitely a great tutorial for me. Amazing channel! 🤘
Fire away with any questions :)
wait for an updated UI
Too late, i got mine today haha
@@krisskross6846 Nice. It's a fine modeler. JUst hope you gel with the UI- if not, you have time to send it back or play it a few months and sell it. You won't lose money. You might get frustrated with the UI. You can pay $99 for a 15+ hour course by Cooper Carter...to learn how to use it. For $1800 that training should be included IMHO.
13:35 LOVE that amazing clean tone, it is so close to maybe being used as an emulated 12 string guitar sound. Here is a Challenge come up with a 12 preset that can get that BYRDS/BEATLES sound that they had in the 60's 12 string SOUND with 6 string instrument like a RICK 12 string. Can LEON do it, I bet he Can !!!!
How wide You think/now/tested You can go with enchancer for live gig to be stereo as much as You can?
Is the enchancer better than TC electronic Mimiq?
Thanks for great sample sounds!
And you even separated everything into chapters. You sir are a legend!
Timestamps have become my best friend!
It still blows my mind just how much stuff is in that magic box.🤯
nice
Can the fender tone master pro keep up?
I'm considering the Fm9 turbo model and the fx3mk2 turbo model. Will the fm9 turbo be enough? I usually play church ambient accompaniment
Absolutely
So much useable tones in just those three amp channels. The USA lead gain had me Metallica riffing instantly. Sounds super close imo!
Yeah that amp model is so tight and rewarding - then you crack the fat switch and it's a smooth lead machine!
@@LeonTodd amazing! Have you ever done any deep dives on recreating Metallica tones? Would love to see your approach to it!
So it has 4 parallel processing lanes as Quad Cortex?? Right?
And does it have raw analog signal through in any ways??
Thnxx brother ❤
It's a 6 row grid and you can route blocks freely, so it's more flexible in that regard. There's no analog dry thru since there's amp and drive modeling
Everytime you do anything with the AXE-FX I hear something that I have to go try.👍
ME: death metal, death metal, death metal
LEON: check out this reverb
ME: oh that is nice
😁
Is there a BBE maximizer style effect?
No but it's easy to replicate with a PEQ block. See the Plague Scythe Studios BBE video for the settings.
Hi Leon is there an auto swell on the fm9
Yes. It's an option in the volume block
Se eu comprar uma Fractal, nunca mais saio de casa kkkk
Facial hair for the win :)
the bible of fractal
struth m8
No harmoniser? Something similar to Boss PS-6?
Yeah there is, in the pitch block. I've got a few videos on it
Thank you. I'll go check it out @@LeonTodd
FM9 is indeed great but the UI desperately needs an overhaul IMHO. Editing on the unit is a bit of a nightmare. Opening up a laptop to make some simple changes (on the fly, on unit changes are fun), is simply not convenient on any Fractal product. The desktop editor is fine. I just find it a little too, unecessarily complicated which takes some of the fun out of it. Yes, you can dial in 10 presets and be done with it but others have much more user friendly UI's. I hope they catch up.
Tonewise, Fractal is king but QC, Helix, even Ampero II ($400 w/touchscreen!) have far better on unit editing capabilities. My cheap NUX MG30 was a dream to edit on unit. No touchscreen like QC or Ampero but everything was where you would expect it to be. Many parameters could be changed quickly and easily in one or two actions. I get it. Fractal FM9 is far more complex. Right. Well, then at start-up, give us the option of opening up instance A. (Simple) or B. Deep diving. Most non-pro's would enjoy a simpler experience IMHO. Still a great unit. I look forward to seeing what the new platform will look like. I suspect it is coming. No way they will let Neural and Line6 beat them on the UI front for long...or at least I hope not.
You got a bit of Lemmy from Motorhead going on there?🧔
🧔♂️🧔♂️
Hi Leon. My apologies. Again, yes that would be great.
Just get a Kemper Stage and be done with it!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is one majestic looking handle bar stache.
Lemmy tribute?
Yeah I'm currently on the "trim everything except the Lemmy bits" cycle
@@LeonTodd I’m currently on the “ why is Victoria always so bloody cold” cycle
