FRFR/DIRECT
Global Settings: Default
Presets: Factory or Custom
This setup takes advantage of the ability of the FM9 to recreate all aspects of an “end-to-end” guitar chain, including
virtual stompboxes, amps, cabs, studio effects, and more. It is the most versatile, flexible, and popular setup.
Output 1 is connected directly to full-range, flat response (“FRFR”) speakers or a PA. A number of manufacturers
offer FRFR products designed specically for guitar, but any high quality PA speaker or monitor can be used.
Some FRFR systems have a built in amplier, while others have separate power amp and speaker components.
All Global and I/O settings on the FM9 can be left at default settings for this setup, and factory presets can be
used without modication.
Adjust overall levels using the front panel OUT 1 knob.
An optional FC-6 is shown in this diagram. The FM9 is designed to be expanded with up to two FC Controllers.
