@Alex Kenivel a MKII fc-6 just came up on reverb for $450 or make offer.

Now that I'm more aware of what you're using...

Instead of assigning a specific CC for the block type you could assign that CC to an External Controller.

Then assign the External Controller to the Bypass of the block instead.

Then try the PC Reset.

Thats exactly what I did and it didn't seem to help. Thanks for the input anyway

One just popped up on FB at a good price too, expression pedal, flat board and bag too

So I assume you are liking the sounds?

I am having a weird time.... I'm on reverb site just browsing out of boredom while I take a break from playing with my cat and looking at pedals and things and nothing is making me want them.. What is going on with me. Did fractal cure my G.A.S. finally?

Temporary reprieve. Don't worry you'll be back to obsessing over things you don't need soon enough.

You may find you stop craving new amps and pedals.

None for me since 2013...

More money for guitars!

Then again, it might just be a temporary state of sanity before the itch returns. After buying my Axe3 I had a six month period of no new gear cravings, but I compensated for that with guitar purchases. Lots of them. Then I bought a JTM Studio for a living room amp, and the pedal chase was back on in full force.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Pedal chase stays down. Guitar chase; kinda stays down. Amp chase? Forgetaboutit

I haven't craved or had a amp since 2016 however I do go through a lot of different effects and synths lol, but like nothing is really interesting me much since I got the fractal stuff! I mean i would love a stereo chase bliss habit and blooper, and maybe I'll get MOOD MKII again sometime since it is stereo, but I feel that with the fractal fm9 and vp4 and my zoia, i probably have that covered... Oh well this may be a good thing going forward!

As for guitars, im not really interested in anything either. I have used and love my kiesel zeus for 15 months so far as my only guitar!

I think I am good on actual amps and guitar for now. Modelers in all shapes and sizes? Experimenting with them is my Achilles heal.

I love getting to know the new ones and enjoy that almost as much as playing. I have my choice of devices any one of which my 15 year old self only dreamed of getting. Being a tone engineer with the capabilities available across many, mostly affordable, products. Something for everyone is a great place to be at.

@iaresee I found more info out what the symbols mean when I went to save my own block.

So I assume you are liking the sounds?

I've only really dug into the amps I gravitate toward, some of the drives, and some Delays. And when i mean dig, i mean scratch the ground with my shovel before getting lost playing in the sand.

The amp sounds are great. The lack of aliasing is great. So far I think the drives are okay -- good as boosts into amps but not so much as standalone drives, for example the King of Tone model isn't great. I finally found a fuzz sound I like. The Plex Delay is fun. I need to do more than just stick to my usual food group of tones and experiment. It's too damn fun to stick to a goal and accomplish it.

Just a few minutes ago I was going through the Mesa high gainers and then the Trainwreck amps. The tweakability is awesome and the options aren't as overwhelming as some make it out to be.

Wait until you get hooked on blocks like crack cocaine!

The FB dude with the FC-6 Mk2 is even closer than I thought. Shipping makes no sense so I'm gonna meet up with him when he's up my way in a few weeks. Comes with an expression pedal, board and case. I can wait, it gives me some time to figure out how I'd want to use the thing.

Ok I made a pitch block for FM9 but I am sure it'll work on FM3 and AxeFX3 too!
I originally made this in my VP4 awhile back but I wanted a block for it in my FM9 too so I copied all the settings!

I was going for that chase bliss mood / red panda tensor pitch glitch delay thing!

This is in stereo and obviously works best after your amp/cab as it's basically a delay.
I mean you can put it in front but it won't be stereo then!

LISTEN TO EXAMPLE OF MY PITCH GLITCH DELAY HERE

Download it for your fm9/fm3/axefx3 RIGHT HERE

Download it for your vp4 RIGHT HERE

Mess with your input impedance! I find that my guitar likes 1M the most!

I do as well but not always 1mil it depends what I want

I use a wireless unit, fixed impedance

I am pretty sure wireless doesn't matter as the impedance has to do with the input of fractal and what comes after it etc.. I use wireless too and it changes the tone when I mess with the impedance in my fm9 etc. Some settings not much of a difference and others more drastic but it does change for me. Maybe it doesn't react like a cable does completely but there is a change.
