    Starting point for DSL40CR and Fractal FM3 80s Metal Settings?

    I’m kind of done with the dsl. Idk why ppl say it sounds good. Sounds like boxy, cardboard shit to me personally. I never hear that tasty tone I’m looking for. Think I want to trade it for something that sounds a bit better out of the box

    Starting point for DSL40CR and Fractal FM3 80s Metal Settings?

    What are your guy’s thought on the mxr 5150 overdrive pedal? Been thinking about checking out one of those. Wondering if it works well through clean channel or used as a preamp through the dsl40 power amp. Or would you say the amp’s gain channel is better?

    What about presence/resonance? How do you set the master volume/channel volume for live? Are you using the red or green (OD1/OD2) channel? Thanks!

    The reason I go back to just trying to use the amp is bc its just made to be simpler. You just plug up, dial it, and let it go. Might put the fm3 aside for now

    Starting point for DSL40CR and Fractal FM3 80s Metal Settings?

    If I were to describe the kind of tone I’m trying to get the closest thing would be like sound of that Bogren Ampknob BHD 5169 plugin. If I could get my live tone to sound like that I’d be cookin!

    Starting point for DSL40CR and Fractal FM3 80s Metal Settings?

    I get frustrated with the fm3 and give up kimd of quick. I wonder if its just bc I need to get a headrush frfr cab and start using it with IRs? Thats probably the way it was designed to be used Tones just sound….. glassy? (Not sure if thats the right term, but thats the word that springs to...

    When I run the fm3 through the return of my marshal the highs just sound so over the top, bright, brittle. Theres no tightness. It just seems tough to work with

    Starting point for DSL40CR and Fractal FM3 80s Metal Settings?

    Just a clarification, I do understand the basics of how to use the FM3 unit, but as far as dialing in tones, thats kind of where I’m lost. Seems like a billion different parameters, highly dependent on what you’re running it through, etc… That’s where I really need help. Maybe some baseline...

    Hot Take: Joe Satriani should stop trying to chase EVH's tone/technique

    Curious what you guys think, but I personally think Joe should just learn the songs to the best of his ability and play them in his own way, with his own interpretation. I'm open to being surprised, but for starters, I don't think it'll ever happen. I don't think Satch will ever play that stuff...

    Favorite combo amp for live rock music?

    Wondering what you guys think is the best sounding combo amp for live classic 80s hard rock/metal music. I’ve got a dsl40cr, but I think I’d like to step up to a 212. Thinking maybe the blackstar or the evh iconic. Thoughts?

    The secret to "easy" tone

    I'm trying to pinpoint the key components that go into getting a tone that makes everything "easier" to play. Often I've struggled with tones that might sound good, but they punish you for every little note not fretted or picked with 100% accuracy. There have been times I've played through amps...

    Frustration and no meaningful answers

    Yeah, I was actually kind of shocked at how lame those Ugritone Arena rock drums sounded out of the box. They've got potential, but some EQing is necessary I'm definitely going to start practicing with putting all drum kit pieces on their own track and working with EQ separately. The URM course...

    Frustration and no meaningful answers

    Honestly, I think this has a lot to do with it. I believe something wither in the rendering or the settings is making it low quality. It sounds ok in the daw. I'm using 44.1/16 at the moment. Previously 44.8/24
