Hi! 👋🏻 I’m Brad. I play guitar, love gear, especially amp modelers. I’m also kind of a nerd, so I might talk about guitar nerd stuff too.

Cooked up an hx stomp preset showing off the extremes of what you can do with the Line 6 Elmsley model in Helix 3.6. The Negative Feedback control allows you to dial in or out that "hi-fi" kind of EQ that Negative Feedback gives you. Download the preset: www.buymeacoffee.com/bradspaulding/e/134440

Thanks for the freeze preset. Question, it seems to have a pulsating effect like a tremolo when the freeze is engaged. Is there a way to get rid of that and have the freeze be a smooth signal? Thanks.
This can happen if you engage the freeze too early after hitting a chord. You are capturing the tail of the hit and it’s looping that, which sounds like a tremolo effect. I tend to hit and wait for the sustain before hitting freeze. It takes a little practice, for sure.
@@bradspaulding Thanks for the reply. I will work on that. :)
what amp & cab did you use for this?
The Morgan AC20 12ax7, and the matching 1x12 with a 121/57 blended.
Very useful even for a non guitarist. Thank you!
How about a digitech 3 way foot switch? Will it work?
Are you referring to the FS3X?
Hmm, as far as I can tell that’s a proprietary switch that only works with certain DigiTech products. I would suspect you could maybe get a couple switches to work, but that depends on how it’s built and I have no idea how that one works. Sorry!
@ Gotcha! Will try it out & see.
I know this vid is 2 years old but I’m trying to do this and I have the delay set up with 100 feedback but for some reason over many repeats it starts losing volume until it’s barely audible. I can’t figure out why or how to fix it.
Which delay type are you using?
@ I was using the digital mono and digital stereo. I pulled back the high pass filter on the delay as much as I could and it helped a bit, I don’t lose the low fundamental as quickly, but it still doesn’t last forever like you’d expect on 100 feedback
@ very strange, indeed the digital models should hold repeats forever. :/
Hi In fm3 in the Standin switch menu, under the external FM3 sw1 (tip ring) and FM3 sw2 (tip ring) there are 8 more switches FC1 sw1 sw2 sw3 sw4 FC2 sw1 . . ........sw4 only the Layout function can be assigned to these 8 switches. I can't find anything in the manual or on youtube about those switches and what they do...help would be appreciated.. Thank in advance...
I believe those are for the two external FC foot controllers you can connect to the FM3. This would allow you to control the layout of one FC from another or from a switch on the FM3.
Super explanation
thank you, good explanations, I am at exactly this stage with my FM3 right now. I made a 4 button switch to get to extra functions
This video is a big reason why I ordered an FM3 today, and ironically the Hard Fuzz was one of my favorites haha
The tone sounds awesome. I am curious if you did in post processing? When I do the same settings my guitar sounds a bit weak and thin? fm3-> Apollo 8 spdif. done..
Nothing on the guitar! You've got the USB in from the fractal direct here. The stereo outs do have the Logic "Basic" mastering preset on, but I just checked it out to make sure I'm not a liar and nothing is even tickled. There's a little directional mixer on there spreading it out a bit so that's something? It could be down to the signal level hitting the amp? Sometimes a little input trim can finesse the amp/pickup combo. Cheers!
beautiful playing 👍
🤘🏼🙏🏼 Cheers!
The most important thing I needed to know here was pin in the browser window.. so silly not to know that yet so powerful. Thank you so much!!!
I have this amp and this is not close...
🍻
Replace your strymon deco!
Hi! Excellent video! It is posible obtain more than 6 song sections?
Nope, 6 per song. You’d have to split the song into two “Songs” for that. 🤷🏻
Good job!!!
I agree, John Nathan Cordy is awesome... but so are you! Well done! 👍
Wow, thank you! 🤘🏼🙏🏼
What are the amp and cab in this video?
Dang, I should have mentioned that for sure. 😅 It was very likely the Morgan AC20 12AX7 channel, and a matching 57/121 blend.
So I’ve been told to just use the same ir s and if I don’t then to make sure I have the cuts the same cause when you switch amps on stage with different freq it’s gonna come through maybe I’m wrong but it works for me
Agreed! I usually stick with a single amp/cab for a gig if I can manage it.
Hey man just found your channel 60 seconds in glad to see Someone else with a fractal instead of the normal people that do that same thing
🙏🏼
Great work!
Can you send a link to your profile it sounds soo good 👍
Thanks This video was really helpful to me 👍
killer tone!
I never cease to be amazed by the extent to which Fractal goes with modeling in general. They are in a class of one in that regard.
Agreed! What really sets them apart for me is not only are the amp models the best, but the other effects are studio quality as well! You really can go all in on Fractal, in a way I am not sure you really can with other modelers. 🤷🏻🤘🏼
@@bradspaulding Yes, Fractal obviously is playing for keeps. They know there is a market happy to pay the price for perfection. I like companies like that. I rarely encounter a touring player without one or more.
Hey Bradley, where have you been?
22:55 sounds a bit like JOHN CORDY!!! Where is BRAD, LOVE your VIDEOS.
🙏 (👶)
I love this vedio🤘Thank you❤
Nicely done. I want ADSRs not connected to level/pitch detection to allow triggering with a pedal. Others more reputable than myself have requested more flexible ADSRs as well, but so far, not implemented. Cheers, Daniel
That would be cool!
Does this work on axe fx ultra?
Gosh, it’s been so long, I honestly don’t remember how or if you can do this with the ultra. They changed a lot about controllers when they moved to the newer FC controllers. Sorry!
buenisimo,, gracias¡¡¡
Bradley you need to revisit this based on what Alan Phillips chimed in and gave you for information, that is if you are doing Videos anymore. Thanks, Miss you!!!
Indeed! I need to spend time digesting all that info. 😅
Nice! What dip setting do you use/like most? Is there any setting you would recommend for a Hendrixy lower gain/slightly clean tones? Just normal Super Lead? Thanks!
Yea I’d say it was left on Super Lead mode most of the time, for me. If you had a real bright amp and/or guitar maybe the super bass would be more responsive?
Dude, thanks so much! This is just great, the chorus method worked great! Awesome !
Just what I needed! Thanks!
Yes this is for me
Hi. I'm trying to use a 2 button footswitch (tried a Nux, and a Boss FS7) with my FM3. I can get the Tip side of the footswitch doing what I want (turning blocks on and off), but when I assign a block to the Ring side, pressing the switch turns the block on, then immediately off. I've tried changing all the settings many times (with 2 different TRS cables). Would anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Did you figure this out, yet? If not, maybe out the values for Switch 1/2 Ring Behavior. It can be set to momentary or latching. It sounds like maybe it’s set to momentary, perhaps? Guessing!
Bradley where are you we miss you.
🙏🏼 thanks for the kind words! Taking a break due to a new growth in the family… 👶🏻🤘🏼
just discovered your channel and you have great content bro! loving the tones i'll be applying those to my fx3, that xotic is gorgeous what pups are on that beast? thank you
AFAIK they are xotic’s own, I believe they call them “RAW” or something like that?
What models of amps are you using in the intro? Sounds sooo good. Especially the first picking. Edge of break up tone also the strumming that comes right after. So thick and creamy
🙏🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼it’s been a minute but it was proooob the Morgan AC20 (12ax7, bright). I use that for pretty much everything. 😅
trying to do this on fm9 but in IO settings there is no option for tip/ring, only expression or switch. is this something that went away or got changed in th latest firmware? I am on 5.01
It looks like the FM9 can’t do this fancy dual switch TRS thing? Seems odd, but the manual only mentions a single TS foot switch. You can use two external switches, you just have to use both pedal jacks to do so. That’s a bit of a bummer. :(
Nothing thrilling with these- I have my 3 fuzz pedal in line before the FM9- got my usual fuzz I know and use. Face was decent
I wonder how it compares to the CAZ45
Thanks! I added a two button switch and this helped al ot
Glad it helped!
Great video, great playing, I'm in! Subscribed 🎸💯
Thanks for the sub!
Big fan of your stuff
Brad where have you Gone??
Where is Brad??? miss you!!!!
Bradley primero que todo gracias por dedicar parte de tu tiempo para compartir tu conocimiento. El video me resulto bastante ilustrativo para lograr nuevo sonido con Wah y el filtro en realidad esto permite ser creativo en busca de nuevos sonidos. Un Saludo
Glad the video was helpful! 🤘🏼
Great post, thanks! Another reason for using parallel is if and/or when I want to keep the different effects’ characteristics separate. I was skeptical of this when I first heard about it; coming from the amp/pedal world, but I do find that it makes a difference. Fact is that I tend to go linear most of the time, though. And I do like that you’ve shown how to keep the trails happening. Awesome unit, the FM9!
