- Taking the Fractal FM9 for a test run and trying out the Plexi 50w model. Stratocaster has Rocketfire pickups. GHS Strings.
I don't have this patch any more for some reason, but I was using stock cabs - would have been one of the 4x12 Marshalls in the FM9 factory bank. I also used a tremolo on this, but later discovered the trem in the actual amp block and always use it now when I need some tremolo - sounds killer.
I need this patch 🤯
Fantastic playing and tones!
Holy shi… Gary! That's a great sound. I love your Fender-based sounds but this gives a whole different voice to your guitar. And, the tremolo is very nice sounding.
Thanks! The Marshall models on the new FM9 (well, new to me) are pretty juicy!
Totally awsome !!
Sounds amazing
Cheers Jon!
Nice job Gary!
Cheers Jim!
Sounds great
Fabulous tone and playing! Thanks to you, I found myself buying an FM9 a couple months ago, and I've never been happier with my tone and tone possibilities. How does the fractal setup go over in Austin? I consider Austin to be like musical Mecca, but I'd hazard a guess that there aren't a lot of guys showing up with fractal gear. Cheers!
That's awesome man! The Fractal sounds killer so goes over great 😉 Still in the minority, especially amongst the bluesers, but a ton of touring pros are using Fractal, so it's starting to get a little more widely known. People come up to talk to me about it all the time!
I dont have experiences with multi effects. How difficult are these to get a good sound ? Do you find yourself tweaking the FM9 from venue to venue? Is this setup more reliable than a tube amp? Thanks
@@hustlinc3540 initially I was tweaking it a lot but once I got it dialed in it's pretty much locked in. You have to tweak it at gig volume. I've found it far more reliable than the tune amps I've used in the past (knock on wood), as well as all the pedals and cables that connect them. it's also great when playing festivals that you can get your tone and don't have to make do with some dodgy backline.
For recording it's a godsend!
@@GaryCainMusic when you say tweak it @ gig volume, do you mean EQ or just a volume adjustment? I played a few ampless setups years ago. Friend's Roland and boss gear and it was always a challenge to get everything sounding right venue to venue. Does the Fender cab project like a traditional amp? Thanks.
@@hustlinc3540 if you get it to sound great at low volume, that doesn't necessarily translate to the same at high volume mostly because of the Fletcher-Munson effect (how we perceived frequencies differently at different volumes). A big factor is the cabinet IR you pair with the amp (the "virtual" speaker cabinet). The Fender does do a pretty good job and has a relatively wide dispersal. I usually run it as my main volume and also run into the house PA.
Fantastic playing!! Are you using monitors or a traditional speaker cab? Cheers!
Cheers - I'm using a monitor - EV ELX 112p in this clip. I've always run FRFR.
@@GaryCainMusic sounds awesome, thanks for the reply!
Anyone says that doesn’t sound like or better then tubes is crazy 😂
Sweet tone and playing GC. But is it loud enough? ;-)
lol - you'd have to ask the people in the next room over
