Makes such a big difference to use separate presets especially in worship music context where everything is smeared with reverbs and delays. Thanks for the tip to dial in each effect individually.
I’ve just been running one XLR into the mixer at rehearsals lmao, actually putting my fm9 into mono/making a few mono versions of presets is probs a better idea tbh.
Have been considering what it would take to play stereo in ears, God mode, and adding mono to the mains and to the rest of the band who expect mono that they can shove left or right in their own mixes.
I run a traditional stereo setup that goes to a livestream board at our church. However for the main sanctuary, they somehow convert it to mono but it still sounds great. I don’t notice any phasing issues.
Thanks Leon. It’s a great review of the feature. There is another problem if you have 2 separate presets. You have to do changes in 2 presets. And if you use more than one preset originally, then you have to change it even more :)
@@garffild At first you save a block, let's say an amp, to one of the global block spaces, I believe there's 8 of those for each type of block if I remember correctly. Then you go to a different preset and link the amp in there to the same space you saved it previously. Now those are linked and the changes apply to all the presets where you have the link. Just remember to save before you change the preset :)
And if I need to send a signal back to the amplifier, how appropriate is it to send a shunt after the cab to a real amplifier with its real cab ? I noticed that the sound is getting shit(( On UA-cam they also say to collect a preset in edith where the chain goes to the cab, but the sound also doesn't turn out as cool as after the cab
I still have the mighty AX8 and wouldn't change it for a thing. I also play stereo, I'm the only guitar in the band and I want to sound a bit "spread" and cover the sides instead of everything being center. Therefore I use the "enhance" block at the end of my chain for that "pseudo two guitar thing". I know you know AX8 inside out. You mind sharing some thought? Any alternatives maybe? Thanks man
I have a FM3 on the way and have been taking in a lot of your content, so thanks for that🙂 Question... Referencing a different FM3 video of yours, could mono also be accomplished by moving the cab to end of the signal chain?
My head is exploding. Lol. I have an FM3. I have run one xlr out to the mixer and that’s that. If I want to go stereo then I need to do two things correct? One is to run both of the xlr outs to the mixer (have them hard panned left and right) but ALSO change the global setting to stereo? Thanks. I’m green to all this but would love to experiment with stereo at next gig.
Hey Leon - let me get this right. So you leave the Audio Output Config in Stereo regardless of your preset being Stereo or Mono? I'm assuming that you're running Output Left only to the PA when using a Mono preset, not L/R out correct?
Leon I see you don't use the Enhancer block for stereo, why? Doesn't this block work optimally? It'd be nice if you recorded a video in which you explain Enhancer :)
I need to run mono live tonight. This helps, Thanks again!!

Good video. I could see the difference between the left and right expanses.
Thank you for this as I was making it way more confusing than it needed to be.

Stereo in ears is so lush
Fabulous video. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
I always run stereo, but, also have a mono preset build. Very much like how you did it.
I definitely think this is a good idea and will follow suit.. thanks as always Leon!

Global blocks help with this issue.
@@juha.takanen oh so they are global even in different presets? 😱
@@garffildYeah, that’s the whole point of those :)
@@juha.takanen so if I mark any block as global, it will become the same in all presets? Or only in those I also marked it as global?

Enhancer is great - I personally prefer the stereo detune thing for the same effect
Is there an advantage when creating presets in mono to put the stereo spread on effects to 0% vs leaving at the default setting it is at?
Great example ! Could you show some 2 amp setups ? Thanks
Great suggestion
Hi buddy any preset available for the FM9 thank you be bless

Correct
Is this preset going to end up on Axe Exchange?
I was wondering this also
A version should be up already, search for user "2112" on Axechange
Stereo 100%

Big gigs= stereo, bar gigs = mono.

I prefer dual detune, but happy to cover the enhancer!
stereo -- blends better with other instruments and doesn't step on them as much.
