Comment here to sign the unofficial "Dear Fractal, please model an ADA MP-1" petition.
When you look at the roster of artists who used one in the late 80s and early 90s, it speaks for itself. From Les Claypool to Alex Skolnick, Nuno to Gilbert... and so many others.
Cliff, it was the second most requested piece of gear behind the Klon that you just rolled out... so it seems like the next logical step. That would just blow my mind to finally have the MP-1 archived into eternity.
MP-1 or GTFO.
Yeah… MP1 please
I have said that I will be buying the first unit that has:
A classic Marshall
A Soldano
A Rockman
An MP-1
Are you up for the challenge, Fractal?!
Thanks Leon, I'm waiting end of month to receive my FM9 Turbo, this video came at the right moment! Cheers from Portugal.
Nice Man! I appreciate the look into the TURBO model!!!
That was an excellent demonstration of what can be done with the Turbo FM9 - Original FM9 10 % delta. Your preset is feature packed too and sounds great. Very nice.
Glad it was helpful!
@@LeonTodd Yes, it was very informative. l didn't even know that a Turbo version was available, much less what benefit it provided until checking out your video. Well done and thanks again, Leon.
Love the bass and the bass skillz!!!
Great demo Leon! I think it's cool that FAS is doing this for all the people that are on the waite list! I guess good things really do come to those who wait!
Exactly!
I hope so! I have been waiting for about a year now...
Great video Leon. As is always the case. As someone who was fortunate enough to get on the waitlist early enough to get a first run unit, I can't say that the difference is enough for me to purchase a turbo version, but I do think given all the time those who did not get a first run have had to wait, this is a nice perk to sweeten the deal.
really dug the clean sounds. i've never been great at dialing them in. @13:39 sounded fantastic, reminded me of Vivians clean tone on Last in Line \m/
That sounds like amps and efx, not like slow and muddy plug-ins, yet still has that Fractal "gummy" character ;D You've also evolved as a player since last time Todd!!
Those clean settings are beautiful
Dude, I've been on the list forever and you hold up two units? You're such a tease!!!
Awesome tones
Thanks brother!
Sounds great, as always.
I hope that while still producing rackmount units for home/studio use, FAS branches off with their 4th-Gen platform to focus MORE HEAVILY on their floor-based units.
No one else can touch Fractal's software/algorithm production. It's obvious.
Their competition can only exist in this space if they excel at their production of larger physical "pedal" switching units, with overseas production.
The next generation unit, the "FM10" or the _"Axe FX Floor" - nyuk, nyuk_ - or whatever, can really rocket this platform to the moon with an unrivaled value.
The nine switch layout is just about perfect. Only thing missing is an expression pedal, or two.
_How awesome would it be if it came with a super low-latency, wireless expression pedal?_
I love my rackmounted AF3, but if I knew the FM9 was down the road, I certainly would've waited to pull the trigger.
The FM3 just didn't have enough switching to be truly useful in the modern pedalboard environments.
Having to lay down another $500 for an FC-6 and $120 for an expression pedal is a heartbreaker and one of the major obstacles that kept me away from Fractal for so long.
Since I watched the last vlog I want to watch the demos with you jumping around😆
More guitaerobics soon!
that compressor pun though.
next level gearhead right there haha
I'm glad someone enjoyed that one!
Great video and amazing tones. "...really, really make it sound gross" Yeah- kitchen sink presets are for me...though I am just as happy with nice, clean 40% tones as well. Clearly for most however, the TURBO with it's extra headroom is the way to go. It will be future proof for a while. The next version will likely have a bigger, touch display, better workflow and larger scribble strips. It might have the same processor since they likely had to buy many in bulk. I don't feel like waiting so when my number comes up I will grab a Turbo. I've been on the list for nearly a year.
cool stuff =0 , i'm looking at getting an FM3 soon , upgrading from an AX8 , the portability/size i think does it for me not to mention the cost
little sidenote, the Jeff & Jan patch , is probably a tip of the hat to Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer
A turbo version ?!!! That's like taking the deadliest smartest shark...and genetically adding razor blades to it's teeth.
Mako shark edition!
@@LeonTodd 😂😂
Axe-Fx III: Hold my beer.
turbo version that's like adding .5% alcohol to a light beer
Great work , man. Will there be a LT MK IV Live Grease Preset for the Axe FX III Turbo too?
Great Vid! For a tube amp holdover who has never given Fractal audio a chance, what kind if wait times are we talking about with the waitlist??
Naturally, it sounds great. I'm getting the feeling it will still be a while before my name comes up on the waiting list. I guess we'll see.
Couldn't get my hands on the early version but definitely excited to try to get one
Yeah it's nice that everyone who has had to wait gets a little more power!
Love that rotary setting!!! Excellent video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it brother. That rotary really hits the spot for me!
Fractal is like.... "But wait... There's more..."
Great comparison Leon.
Thanks mate, hopefully it helps answer a few questions for anyone curious about the differences.
Ordered Mine today:)
Nice Leon.
Would love this with Kemper stage profiler to pair with my HX stomp and do away with most pedals.
Great review which is most helpful....BTW, where cpuld yout Live Rig FM9 be downloaded?...please
"Leon's Live" is a factory preset, so all you have to do is turn it on and navigate to the relevant spot :)
Is the fm9 turbo pretty close in processing power to the original axe fx3? I’m thinking of switching over to the FM9 turbo
Hi there, can you tell me are you able to connect a P.C or tablet to the FM9 to access those setting options while its running through an frfr speaker?
I've had many pedal boards like this one and found I spend more time on my computer and/or playing with dials. I recently went back to a normal pedal board and actually play my guitar again. Simple is best and you can make a hell of a pedal board for 2 grand.
If im remebered i dont get that high cpu usage on the ax8 back when i use it. Is it the old product is more powerfull than the new floor fractal?? Or might be all the software in the fm9 are to much for the hardware?? Im thinking to order this fm9 (not the turbo) or just fm3??
How did you get the FM9 turbo? I’m in Australia and have been on the waiting list ever since the waiting list was made available. Is there a way to get an FM9 turbo, but not through the Australian distributer? It seems some people have two units and I’m still waiting to get one…
0:48 "The Turbo version arose out of the semiconductor shortage"
--> Along with the 'Turbo' version of the FX III, that statement from Fractal is.......BOLLOCKS !!!
--> Fractal are simply extending the life of these units by providing a 'faster' model, keeping those high prices, and - crucially - allowing them to delay the introduction, in particular, of the Axe-FX IV.
It’s great that they have updated the fm9 but it still has a wait list to get one. Would like to see it become more available cause I’m not gonna spend $2000+ on reverb or eBay when I can buy the full Axe Fx 3 for that or cheap on reverb
I hear ya! I know they're just playing 'supply-and-demand economics', but screw those people. I don't like it. It feels like scalping plywood when a hurricane is threatening. People profiting from Fractal's supply problems is a dick move, imo. Sell it for just enough that you can recoup your tax and insurance on your original sale, let someone else enjoy it, and be done with it.
How long do you think is the waiting list? If it takes several month I will buy the FM3 instead…
@@gr8guitarplayer it’s unlogical. Some people might buy something else instead (other board) . Like me. Buy the quad cortex eventually instead of this board…silly
@@gr8guitarplayer so everyone profiting off their higher home values right now are also dicks?
One of the riffs you are playing in Example 3 is very similar to Sleep by Sweet Water.
That Heaven Above riff!! 👍👍😭😭
Can I use this by plugging into a guitar speaker or do I
need monitors? Djo I need a power amp?
I live in a trailer. Any help would be appreciated.
One other thing, Leon. I saw a picture where you jokingly were asking someone if he or she was the one that yelled for Freebird. Do they really do that in Australia? If so, that is hilarious! I thought that was pretty much restricted to audiences in my neck of the woods - the Southern US.
It's not as common here but it happens!
I love my std FM9 with no need for the turbo. Maybe when they come out with the "triple blower supercharged V8 model" I'll switch over.. lol
simple, just LS Swap your FAS
I just need an Ada mp1 in the FM9 to change my ax8 😁! Great video as always. 👍
YES! BRING ON THE MP-1 MODEL
You'll need to comment on Leons pinned comment of this video so Cliff can get the hint.
Now the Icing on the cake would be if they sent out a Swartzeneiger Turbo Man with the FM9.
Just saying.🥳
thanks for this, are scribble strips bigger on the new one or it's only my personal fault?
Same size. I've still got the plastic over them so they look a little bigger.
Never had this type of rig, I.E, fractal, kemper, etc. how do they effect your pickups sound/uniqueness. In other words, do they make all the pickups sound the same? Do your pickups still effect the sound? I like how I can change to a different guitar and the pickups change the tone of the amp/cab.
Big time.
I have to make a preset specifically for my strandberg with Ludgen pickups (have to crank the gain, eq here and there a bit) compared to my majesty. With majesty, i have to lower the gain not so much eq.
So yeah..the pickups really affect the tone
Hi Leon, can you add a link to your video about parametric eq’ing for different pickups? I can’t find it!
ua-cam.com/video/6h7lJi23VqU/v-deo.html
Leon do you play all your videos in drop c thx and what type distortion are you using
Ragdoll plays live in Drop C so my main guitars live there. The strat in this video is in standard
I just put this on order. I'm not sure if it will work for me, but it has the processing power I want.
Congrats!
Thank you for this review! Could I connect this directly into my PC and pull up the software and start playing? I have gaming speakers. Or do I need something more?
Yeah that'll work but some dedicated studio monitors will be a far more satisfying experience
@@LeonTodd Ahh ok thank you!
white lightning from Def Leppard in there?
Hi Leon !
I love your vids. Is it possible you upload LT MK IV Live Grease on Axe-Change, please?! Or any link, please, please! ❤
Thank you !
Hey Leon, I am brand new to the fractal world. I bought the fm3 and fc-6. Is there a big difference between that and the fm9? Thanks so much!
The FM9 let's you run more blocks in a given preset.
@@LeonTodd would you say it’s worth the switch? Thanks again!
I can’t find any detailed info about this. Etc, does it have aux in, Bluetooth for playback, vocal effects and drum machine built in. Anyone could assist please?
The website lists all the details. It's specifically a performance focused guitar processor. To answer your questions;
-no bluetooth for audio playback. It is an 8x8 USB audio interface though.
-there's no mic preamp but all the effects would work fine on vocals.
-there's not an aux in but there are 3 sets of ins and outs, so with an adaptor cable you can easily use in2 or in3 as a stereo aux in.
- there's not a drum machine.
A little off-topic maybe but I am looking for a cheap, preferably used, multi fx unit to put in front of my tube amp, something like a Boss GT-5 or GT-3. Korg, Zoom, Boss, Vox have all made those kind of floor units. Any advice on the best sounding, easiest to use model?
Old? Boss GT-100.
I'm using a Line 6 HX Effects with my tube and modeling amps, works great. No need to go older modelers IMO
I’m using a pod HD500x and it works perfectly for that.
Ehy Legend, if i want to learn how to use this unit which video should I start to watch between the one you have produced?
5 Minute Tones series should deliver some quick and easy little nuggets of information, otherwise my Axe-Fx basics videos will apply to the FM9 as well.
@@LeonTodd Queen used to sing, We are The Champion, I sing, You are the Champion
When running 2 rigs together is it required to plug in the unit stereo?
nope..not necessary
Any Idea when this Board will be available for the public? Currently not available on the official site…
They're serving orders to a wait list at the moment
Too bad there isn't an aftermarket to upgrade existing units. I would love to hotrod my FM3 to the processing power the FM9 has but in it's smaller size.
At the end of the video, when you're holding them side by side, the switches on the one on your left has what looks like blue tack on it. Is that to differentiate the two, since they look identical, or is something else going on?
They're footswitch toppers I got from thehomemusician.com
Leon, what are you playing the FM9 through?
Studio monitors. You're hearing the DI output of the unit recorded into ProTools with no post processing.
Fm9 or quad cortex?
Hi, Leon!
What’s that amazing riff on 2:48 from?
Thanks Andy! "Heaven Above" by Ragdoll
Oh, thanx! Saved to my playlist
@@LeonTodd it do be a sick riff tho =D
Hi Leon, long time lurker 1st time asker.
How the heck can I purchase an FM9 here in Australia? Been on the independent music waiting list for ever😥
And also what do you do to take care of your left and righthand fingernails / fingerpads with respect to live guitar playing?
Be excellent to one another & party on!
neb.
Man I feel for Andrew at Independent, huge waiting list and such a limited amount of stock coming down to Aus.
I file my nails every day with a little diamond grit file, less for my playing and more to stop myself scratching my eczema in my sleep.
Where do you even find this gear in Australia?
Scorpion nest?
@@aperezdeal lol such the comedian.
I've been thinking about a kemper for ages but I think I'm just gonna sell my pedalboard and jump on the list for this now!
I want a tab for the riff at 2:48! I've heard it in a couple other videos and I love it
You and me both. Not sure if that's a Ragdoll tune or where I've heard it before?
Heaven Above! ua-cam.com/video/eVJHOaYH8Dg/v-deo.html
@@LeonTodd thanks!!!!
Leon what is that song u play in almost all ur videos i love that song please tell me what it is
Ragdoll - Heaven Above
@@LeonTodd very well played i like that alot really good riff,,,,
@@johnleslie339 cheers mate. Full song is here

Fractal FM9 championship edition…
Been on wait list since February. And Leon already has 2?
I think he is already on the top of the Axe 4 and fm10 waitlist

Ok, I want one. 😅
nice💯💯💯💯💯
What Is The Stand That Is Holding Your Guitar? Thanks
The guitar I'm playing? I'm resting it on my left leg.
@@LeonTodd Thanks Man I Have Been Looking For A Electric Stand So I Can Run My DAW And Turn And Use The Guitar Without It Hangin On Me LOL Love The Channel Cheerz!
Anyone know if the riff at 2:47 is a song? If so, what song?
Ragdoll - Heaven Above
I wanted to buy one of these, but the guy in the shop said my hair wasn’t long enough and I couldn’t stand with my legs far enough apart. Oh well.
That's a reportable offence under the tone act of 2019 - hair and flexibility shall not be used to discriminate against those desiring loud guitar noises.
I can get FM9 standard for $1750 (in Ukraine) is that a good price and should I go for it or should I spend 2k+ on FM9 Turbo? Is there a reason to go for more? Because as I see - all those really "long chains" are also played nicely with FM9 Standard
Standard version is great!
@@LeonTodd thanks for your answer, Leon. Appreciate it 🤗
@@LeonTodd one more question, Leon, how do you think is it worth of upgrading to AXE III (mark1) from FM3? Will it be better for playing mostly at home? I'm offered $1900 for it. Will appreciate your response, my mate 🤗
Were you 1 of 10 people that got an FM9 in the last year? There is going to me more of the Turbos going out this year?
I find it disrespectful that they sell us "Beta" versions... we always have to wait for the Pro version, Turbo, MK3.4.5.7, it's ridiculous
The absolute cheek of them to release a new FM9 when we can't even get our hands on the regular one 🤣
"While you were waiting we decided to throw in some extra fries and a shake!"
Good thing I didn't get the naturally aspirated version........
Mainly a workaround due to chip shortage. You do what you have to to keep the product moving for customers. I don't think its any fault of FAS about the chip type in shortage and I feel it's a positive move.
Oooh Oooh wait Ive got it!

Leon -Thanks for all you do-
I look forward to your videos each week.
I learn a lot and have a good time or laugh.
Thanks for all you do.
Not sure why that was lined out above.
Sorry about that
Yes ADA MP-1
Also Rackman!
In the meantime check this out ua-cam.com/video/fVtpA6DI3E8/v-deo.html
This is very interesting. I was thinking about this the other day. Since nobody can actually get an FM9, because of the chip shortage, why not go with a slightly more powerful CPU that is readily available now? Even if they had to bump-up the price a bit, at least people could get one! The FM9 waiting list has basically been: put your email address on their wait-list... and then NOTHING.
SO... is the FM9 TURBO available for purchase right now? Or is this going to be another "waiting list"? 🤔
Everyone on the existing wait list will now get one of these
FAS being a small company usually has a waiting list. It's just the nature of the beast.
@@r.llynch4124 yes, but I'm on waitlist since december 2021
@@Ivan_Ku. sucks for sure. I do hate wait lists.
@@Ivan_Ku. I’ve been on the wait list since December 2020.
Been on waiting list for more than a year and can't get any of them. I know there is a hardware shortage but I see many people with them.
There was an initial run that immediately sold out and they haven't been able to get any more stock since then with the semiconductor shortage. At least there's a nice little power upgrade for those who have waited.
👍🏼
After you all waist your money on the fm9 they come out with a turbo and after you all get that it will be now we have a super charged fm9 lmao
How does the fm9 turbo compare to an Axe fx 3 mk3?
Roughly double the processing power of an FM3 and half that of an Axe-Fx, although the way resource are allocated across the CPU cores differs between all 3 devices.
@@LeonTodd so, still not as robust as the non turbo 3. OK. Gotcha.
Not one bad preset.
Very cool but i feel like its going to get better soon with even better CPU. Im holding out
It's a whole thousand euros more than the FM3 here in Europe and to be honest, I don't really see the appeal. Sure you have extra footswitches, but at this price point why not just save some more (like 400e) and buy the axe ? I don't think most users need to set up extra convoluted presets anyway... And for raw power the Quad Cortex does at least as much if not more for less money (again here in Europe)
This being said cool video just as always Leon !
I think a lot of people who used the AX8 but held off on the FM3 will really enjoy this form factor. The FM3 is a mighty little brute though!
For me it’s the ability to run two amps which makes the difference.
@@louderthangod fair point
I’ve been on the waitlist for a year, still no updates 😞
They've just started shipping to the waitlist again.
How do you get one?
They're serving them to a wait list as the moment, details on their site.
The thing is, you hear its a fractal Just like you can hear its a Boss multi unit no matter how your setting are. I will stuck to my stompboxes, no one has the same pedals and pedal order like I have-)
ok 😂
I wonder if they aren't using military grade components anymore since they had to get them from elsewhere? Does this mean they will be doing an FM3 Turbo too? I wonder.
*WAIT.... Did you just say, "it could do slapping-pasta - calculations?" OR "slightly faster calculations?" ...WTH LOL😀 am I tripping, or should i use headphones*
I do like to slap my pasta to check for done-ness
I dislike the entire strategy behind this. They could have just used the new, more available 500 MHZ cpu and kept their mouths shut and started shipping. Now it just looks like the whole FM3 no headphone jack debacle. The first shipped FM3s had no headphone out and now the first batch of FM9s will be the non turbos where no one will want to buy one now that the turbo is out. I tried some of Leon's new FM9 presets and sure enough, not enough cpu to run them.
im still in the list since october 2021. sadge 😞
I believe they've just started rolling out invitations to the wait list again.
Exact same for me. :(
This is the bummer about amp modeling. A year from now everything is going to be obsolete
Remember, they added this turbo chip cause the cheaper one wasn't available. These chips are super cheap but if they give you the biggest from the start, there is no where to go from there. Planned obsolescence.
"We created the Turbo to sidestep semiconductor supply chain issues"
immediately above just like last gen: "AVAILABILITY: The FM9 is shipping to a first-come first-serve WAIT LIST"
well that was a fucken lie
that's the problem with Fractal, they have a lot of flavors of the same exact product; and they release them constantly. Unlike Kemper....
When I decided to buy a Boss GT10 a long time ago, I did it because my JCM 800 couldn't "shoot" that heavy, punchy sound... and now I'm torn between QCortex and FM9 and I want to hear some of those powerful colors of sickly expensive amplifiers (Diezel, Soldano, Mesa, Revv...) and instead some things that are common for much cheaper models. This clip doesn't really help me decide...
You've got more boutique goodness modeled in an fm9 than you'll know what to do with!
@@LeonTodd I hope so my friend, because almost 2k of beautiful, green bills need to change hands. I know that for that money you can't even get a preserved second-hand high gain amplifier head, but it would be even worse to have wasted so much money on a tiny box that doesn't really do the job. Thanks for explaining.
