I do have a couple of your pedals already. Really enjoying them. The search for pedals is so exhausting as there are so many choices.

I forgot to thank you for this link. In the end I decided to just work with the current firmware and hope that whatever caused my problem gets resolved in a later release. Either way, I am going to go back to tube amps. Thus my seemingly endless search for the amp that will be most versatile for...

Interesting. I will look into that issue and just directly ask Dr. Z about it. Friedman appeals to me because I think for someone like me who can't afford but one great amp they are more likely to have an ongoing business/support model, even after the founder is gone. Dr. Z amps have a nice...

Thanks Aaron. The JEL seems to be more oriented towards hard rock so I need to look into that further but it might not be best for me. Neal Schon certainly is a guitarist that I appreciate. I don't mind a bit dark, I just want clean, warm tone also. I am also now looking at Dr. Z amps. They look...

I got part of the way there. I worked with my QA tester to develop a script which pointed to the scripted test case. For planning QA you could enable a box next to the test case. It still required the tester to run the test case, but it provided a script which could easily be followed, if that...

Sort of. I did not backup prior to the firmware update (stupid I know) because I never had a problem with the numerous firmware updates that preceeded this one. As a former IT support person I should know better! But I do have a backup prior to doing the several factory resets I have done since...

FYI, I could be wrong but from reading the Fractal forum it seems as though my issues might be due to changes in the most recent firmware update.

I did try different cables, USB cables, instrument cables, and definitely different guitars. No luck.

I remember when we spoke about Fractal stuff in 2022. I should have listened to you then and ordered the AXE III. The FM3 has been good to me until these issues. Nothing changed at home in terms of spkes, drops, etc. And no changes in any of the components of my setup. The only thing that...

Same on all of them. I can get the tone closer to "normal" if I turn Gain waaay down, but I shouldn't have to do that. On another note, are you familiar with the Soldano X88IR preamp? I don't know if it would provide good tone at a low volume but it interests me as it is sort of a marriage of...

It has a L and R XLR Output. I am using the L. I am atttaching a pdf of the back panel page from the manual.

I don't have one, but I could get one if you could walk me through it. I just wish someone would say, "have you checked this setting?" and they would point out something dumb I am doing. But that just shouldn't be the case. I am not engineering proficient like you and others, but I know what it...

Long story. I have had it since May 2022 and it worked fine. All of a sudden recently it sounds terrible. Breaking up and sounding sort of like it has a ripped speaker. Crackly and distorted. Completely different than before the last week or so. Even my wife can tell the difference. It works OK...

Aaron, I was wondering if you could give an update on the Smallbox now that you have owned it for a while? I have an FM3 I bought in May 2022 which is now broken and I want to go back to the tube amp setup. I only play at home and lean towards warmer/clean tones, but am good with classic rock...

I am trying to build a Regal as close to a 50's vintage LP, with some exceptions. The neck shaft material I chose is Indian Rosewood (because I really like the way it looks!), and I am not planning on Gibson pickups. Currently I am considering ThroBak SLE-100 or ThroBak Kossof pickups, with 50's...
