Axe-Fx III/FM9/FM3 - Let's Check Out The Gate/Expander Block!

Fractal folks - were you surprised to find that your modeler created 60 cycle hum just like your tube amps did? Well, it's really your guitar creating it, but these 21st century devices should be able to get rid of a LOT of unwanted noise, right? Check out this video on using the Gate/Expander block, which can help get rid of that noise.

why is there that extra noise right after you pause and how to get rid of it? time stamp 6:49

That's the gate clamping down on a signal that would basically explode into all sorts of noise as soon as you stopped playing. You could probably tighten the release time on the gate. Thanks for asking, that was a good question!

I switched off the gate in the input block and placed a modern gate with its default settings after my drive block and there are no weird aftersounds. it's the input 1 gate that has been a culprit. now i need to try this out for my 4cm with a dual recto. take care@@DougBsDigitalDen

! I have the standard AXE FX3, how can I do to turn it TURBO...? what are the steps to turn it TURBO ?

[@DougBsDigitalDen]

Hello - you can't turn it into a Turbo; thr only thing you can do is to sell your Axe-Fx III and buy an Axe-Fx III Mk2 Turbo from Fractal.
