That's an intense layout.
Couple of Q's...
1. Are you running the delays, chorus and flange in parallel just to help fit the blocks in the grid? or is there a tonal reason you're doing it that way? I usually run everything in a chain and use the mix knob to control how wet things get.
2. Any reason for using the send and return rather than output and input?? Are you patching in external hardware? I do similar, but go out of output 3 on the FM9 and back into input 2 (I think - haven't got FM Edit in front of me at the min...)
Wondering if using a send and return would be better or possibly be better way of achieving the same thing. I assume it's identical in terms of sound and latency etc, but y'know. Worth an ask.
Getting so I actually prefer the sound of the Fractal rig now...
Thought the amp sounded a bit thin in the room, I couldn't hear it very well, I had less sounds at my disposal etc.
Also, one of my bands has just started using IEMs with a semi silent stage, and hearing the FM9 coming back through them in stereo is an absolutely glorious thing. The guitar sound I have in my ears (and FOH) is unreal. HUUUUUUGE!!

Why are FX in parallel? In the case of the Delays it’s so I can switch to a different delay sound, and leave the tail of the previous Delay to decay naturally. If I change to a different channel in the same block then I lose the tail. If I put two blocks in series then I get delayed delay.

A similar thing is going to happen if several stereo field FX are used together. Each will apply its own rules about which parts of the signal are panned where, and by how much they are delayed. Put them in parallel, and you’ll have three virtual sound sources, one Chorused, one Flanged, and one straight through. Put them in series and each will re-process its predecessor. What was once going left might go right, and be double delayed. It will sound confusing.

I think mine have gotten a little bit dirty. The bottom row don't feel as smooth as the top 3 switches, so I'm assuming a tiny bit of dust/dirt ingress might have occurred on the bottom row. They feel a little bit "grabby" when I step on them
What's the best thing to clean them with?
Assuming some electrical contact cleaner will do the trick?
Also, still absolutely loving the Fractal FM9t. Rehearsed with IEMs with my metal band for the first in ages last night and it sounded ridiculously good.
I've not found a scenario where it feels like it's lacking.
In fact, nowadays, I always laugh my bollocks at all the pseudo-macho posts you see on social media (to be fair, usually by posters from America) panning digital rigs, and proclaiming "t00bs for EVAR!!11!, "can't beet cooking t00bz!!", "i can't live without my toobs", "digital sux!" "i CAN'T pErFoRm WitH a DiGiTaL aMp?Q!/"
It's absolute bollocks. If you can't make a Fractal product sound good, it isn't the units fault. And there's definitely none of these bozos being able to consistently pick out the modeller in blind AB testing.

I'll have a read of that thread.
Nice one.

Well, the FM9 and AFX3 are. Less sure about the FM3. I'm guessing so.

Interestingly, my FM3 or FC6 never had the same issue so not sure if the FM9 used slightly different buttons?
