Fractal Talk

It will be interesting to see what Fractal comes up with next firmware, long quiet.

It hasn't even been two weeks since the most recent firmware update for the Axe-FX III. I think you're officially one of us now.

I’m glad he said it, because I was already thinking it. Haha
I suspect he may be helping out a bit on the FM3 side as the FM9 is caught up and he mentioned the other day the spring verb port is somewhat problematic due to cpu constraints
 
I am amazed how many Axe-Fx 3 and FM3 units I've seen in stores here in Japan. Right next to Boss, Kemper, Line6, Tonex, NeuralDSP. The Kemper Player I haven't seen anywhere on display. Or FM9 for that matter.
I noticed the same thing when I was in Tokyo in 2018. They had Fractals on display in Ishibashi in Shibuya, IIRC. And a bunch of awesome guitars. Found an old photo

I’ve actually seriously considered doing that. I have the FM9, I have the FC12, but I have commitment issues…
I used my FC6 with my FM9 on a gig last Friday and then I got to thinking I could probably make this stacked FC12-FM9 thing work. I could side-by-side them — not enough room for that. But stacked? Could work…

I’d put the FC12 and the EVs on a board, I think. With some supports for the FM9 to rest on behind the FC12.

I’d need the FC12/EV stuff to be separate from the FM9. Can’t always bring it all. And for weight purposes, I’d want them separated, I think.

Need to think it through more. But this is very feasible.
