THE HOME PAGE: PRESETS
Once you have connected your FM3 you can begin to audition factory preset sounds. Remember that aside from
a few templates, the factory presets are designed for use with full-range speakers / monitors / headphones. (See
Section 4 for details on many other types of setups.)
The FM3 contains 512 preset memories, each like a fully independent rig with its own amps, cabs, effects,
settings, controllers, and more. When you consider everything that is possible with Scenes and Channels, a single
preset can cover an entire song, or even a whole show.
Here’s how to explore the factory presets:
Press HOME to show the Home page,
where you can switch presets.
To change presets, turn the VALUE
knob or use the NAV buttons.
Many factory presets contain extra Scenes.
You can switch between Scenes using the NAV buttons or by
turning knob A.
See p. 15 for an introduction to Scenes.
