Thank you for choosing the Fractal Audio Systems FM3, an all-in-one amp modeler, effects processor and foot
controller based on the award-winning Axe-Fx III and its companions, the FC-6 and FC-12. The new FM3 places
some of our best technologies into a highly portable, “grab-and-go” format. It is ruggedly built to withstand the
rigors of touring, while still delivering the nuance, accuracy, and sound quality that have earned Fractal Audio its
place in the world’s top studios and on stage with some of the biggest tours in the world. Never before have we
offered so much in a unit so compact as the FM3.
Sonically, the FM3 is the direct descendant of our flagship, with an ultra-high quality signal path and the latest
ARES amp models. FM3 also includes many of our most popular features like scenes, channels, modiers, flexible
routing, footswitch layouts, USB recording/re-amping/playback, and much more. It is expandable with a FASLINK™
II port supporting up to two FC controllers for up to 24 additional footswitches. It is also cross-compatible: FM3-
Edit not only delivers everything you’ve come to expect from our best-in-class software, but even converts Axe-Fx
III presets for the FM3 (and vice versa).
FM3 truly demonstrates that good things come in small packages. No other platform offers the same sonic
performance while being as flexible and fun. This unique combination has made Fractal Audio the tool of choice
for some of the world’s mightiest guitar heroes, yet we also hear again and again from “weekend warriors” who
tell us that our products make them “a better player,” on a permanent honeymoon, in love with their tone.
Whether you want the pure simplicity of a great guitar straight in to a classic amp, or choose to venture into totally
unexplored sonic territory, the FM3 delivers the legendary Fractal Audio experience — and ts it in a backpack.
We hope you enjoy using it as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
