PARAMETER Description
Power Amp Modeling
ON/OFF
This parameter globally enables or disables power amp simulation in all Amp
blocks in all presets. This capability is provided for cases when the FM3 is used
with a guitar-oriented/tube power amp that contributes signicantly to tone
and dynamics. Having these characteristics applied twice to the sound—once
in the virtual power amp and once in the real power amp—would result in an
over-processed sound. All those Amp block parameters that are NOT part of
the virtual power amp continue to work normally while Power Amp Modeling is
turned off. Presence and Depth are disabled, and Master Volume becomes a
simple volume control. Remember that like a real amp, the FM3 has separate
preamp and power amp sections. When you disable Power Amp Modeling, the
Amp block still models the preamp, which includes distortion, the tone stack,
and more.
Cabinet Modeling
ON/OFF
This parameter conveniently enables or disables Cab block processing in all
presets. The Cab block will not physically appear to be bypassed, but acts
exactly as if it had been replaced a shunt. Use this when you are using the FM3
with an amp powering a traditional guitar speaker cabinet, or the sound will be
muffled, muddy, and boomy.
Tone Control Display
AUTHENTIC/IDEAL
This parameter governs the "Tone" page of the amp block. When set to
Authentic (default) only those controls present on the actual amp are displayed.
When set to Ideal all tone controls are displayed. Also, when set to Authentic,
the Bass, Mid and Treble controls are reset to default values when changing
models to ensure accuracy for models that may not have these controls.
Spillover
OFF/DELAY/REVERB/BOTH
Allows delay and reverb “tails” to ring out or spill over across Preset changes.
You can select whether “DELAY”, “REVERB”, or “BOTH” effects will spill over.
Setting to “OFF” causes effect tails to be cleared upon preset change. Spillover
when switching Scenes or using “IA” Switches is not affected by this parameter.
See also "Spillover" on p. 112.
Reverb Mix
+/- 50%
This boosts or cuts the MIX for ALL Reverb blocks in all presets. Note that
this offset is NOT reflected in the value shown for the actual Reverb block MIX
parameter. This feature is provided because certain dead or lively performance
spaces may require more or less reverb across all presets.
Remember that MIX generally applies only to Reverb blocks which are wired in
series. (Parallel reverbs typically run with MIX at 100%.)
