Thought about snagging a used FM3

[Bob Zaod]

This was the video that convinced me to buy an FM9 a little while back. I know he used a FM3 but man. What tone!!

RIP brother Todd.

I had one. Sent it back on day 12. No wait list crap ever again for me.

Then the question becomes what do you expect to be different this time? If it drove you nuts editing on the unit or you didn't like the footswitching; none of that has significantly changed. I guess I would take a look at why you want it and why you ended up getting rid of it last go round and see if those circumstances/reasons are different now.

It was really just the workflow/PC editor, and option anxiety and at the time very much still in love with my LT. I think if I do end up with one I am going to commit to learning it instead of stomping around the jam room screaming whyyyyyy at the ceiling.

I'd fully support a "simple mode" for the current editor or even an entire new editor to safeguard against falling into the options rabbit hole. It's like being on a diet. If there's chocolate in the fridge I am going to eat it.

Took a look around and people are asking way too much. Especially with the introduction of the MKII. Makes me want to send them this screen grab LOL

I don't like to dilly dally. Usually if I make an offer I figure out the most I will pay and send that. So he either accepts it or I move on.

I’m 100% in this boat. Gassing for a FM3 even though I love my stomp XL. A new fm3 mk2 shipped to Hawaii is like $1230 while OG Fm3s are sitting at $900 in the fractal forum. Hmm…

Its as easy as anything else or can be as complex as you want, you don't need much to tweak it Authentic page, Dynacab (soon)
Maybe a few little Goodies here and there and good to go
Also the presets are fantastic as is or used as templates to your desire

YMMV

Fractal forum is the spot to check for used fractal units imo

A legend like Todd uses the FM3 and mere mortals are like, "It's too underpowered, and I could
never get by with 3 switches."

I am a Luddite and have Zero issues navigating the Fractal Editor, or even the Interface on the Unit
itself. People like to bitch and moan. You could give them the Fountain of Youth and most would
say, "You expect me to drink this?"

 

[Bob Zaod]

Boooooo.
