Do you really watch ads on YouTube? Those can be blocked....

I do. It’s not the end of the world. I usually use the YouTube app, how do you avoid the ads without paying?

So is the AM4 more powerful than the FM3 and about equal to the FM9?

No. It can run four blocks, which is way less than what the FM3 can run. The FM3 can run pitch block, which this can't. Even if the processor is more powerful, the device itself is clearly LESS powerful.

This is my picture of my gear

That's my dream rig. Once I pick up a pair of expression pedals I'll be right there with you.

I've honestly never gigged the FM9+FC12 combo.

I have taken my FC6 out with the FM9 on occassion and used it for dedicated scene switching. That's pretty plush. I should bring it all out for a gig in December and just make a ridiculous circle of switches around me. Hiss at anyone who encroaches on my switching space.

I’ve messed around with the FM9/FC12 combo myself, but it’s never left the house. I’m getting lazier in my old age…

That pretty much describes why I don't take this out to gigs.

I wonder if we will see requests for more blocks. Like HX stomp users begging to go from 6 to 8 blocks. Circle of life.

There are other adblockers that work well also, and apps that default block ads if you watch from a phone or tablet

Should be possible if it’s as powerful as an FM9

No doubt , and a pitch block and a plex delay and a……

We might see more effects but I don't see them changing the 4 block rule. I think if that was possible they would have done it with VP4 already and then added it to this before release?

Imo I like the 4 blocks as it matches with the footswitches. Keep it simple. Get the FM3 if you want more.

Just my thoughts on it though

100% it gets messy and defeats the look and design
Because then you would have to page over to get to the extra blocks display

I like it , it’s honestly way more than I thought they would do

I’m the same way, with pretty much any manufacturer. They have a “next step up” with with pitch already in it, and not much bigger, in the FM3, but I know, how guitarists are.

If they ever add full resolution NAM captures playing capabilities I’ll buy it on the spot!

Me neither and doubt I ever will.

But I have rehearsals and jam sessions in my home studio and it would be pretty sweet to have a bucket full of options available, particularly when jamming with friends.

FM21?

Couple of ways. Avoid YouTube app.

Firefox with ublock.

Use Brave browser. Works great on mobile.

If the III can't run them I doubt the AM could? Happy to be proven wrong
