In this video I’m playing my Fm9 plugged directly into the Laney LFR 2x12. I’m not plugged into the PA. When I first bought this I could not find any video except Guthries clinic. This absolutely replaces a standard amp in a band setting. I love how this sounds. This is my band Ozzmodeus we cover Ozzy and Sabbath
Hi guys, now we have NAM at Axe III (an awesome move by Fractal), did you guys have the chance of comparing captures with Fractal’s proprietary simulations? As they will be running on the same hardware (probably the most powerful platform where you can run NAM nowadays), that would be a really useful comparison. I can’t do it now as I am an FM9 owner, but I am eager to hear anyone’s commentaries about doing this.
I love my main preset with Fractal’s 1959 SLD Plexi, I would like to know if it could sound even better with a NAM block. Combining NAM with a traditional AMP block in a dual amp fashion, if possible, can be the way to go
These replace the plastic endcaps on each side and go on with the same screws, so there's no drilling and you can go back to stock in a few minutes.
Fractal said a while back that a factory handle would crowd the footswitches. These sit at the very ends of the chassis, past the outer switches, so stomping isn't affected.
Two versions in the pics. The Standard is lighter and uses a small separate foot at the back. The Pro has four feet built in and a bit more plastic. Both tilt the unit back toward you a few degrees. The feet are needed to add enough clearance for the vent/fan underneath.
I wanted to test the strength before putting it on my unit and a single handle can carry 25 KG. The FM9 is 5 KG, so it's more than sufficient. I could have added more weight, but it was difficult to go past 25 KG for the test. It flexed a little at 25 KG and went right back to shape. That's my own test on one handle, not a guarantee, but it made me a lot less nervous carrying mine.
Printed in PETG with 6 walls and 25% infill for strength. Mine goes back and forth to church with me.
Full disclosure, I make and sell these. Links in the comments. Mostly wanted to show them off and hear what you think.
Did anyone come from Fractal? I'm very unsure which of the two has better tone or fractal sound. Tonex sounds more muddy but at the same time the drives seem a bit artificial, but I don't have much experience to say which sounds more like a real amp; could you help me?
