Does the FM9 have a way to convert your guitar from standard tuning to open G tuning?

First gig with the the FM9 tonight.
Singer loved the guitar sound in his IEMs.
Setup was easy and chilled, it took up no room, it sounded brilliant in the band mix, performed flawlessly, everybody could hear me, it cut through, sounded absolutely massive when I needed it to etc.
I forgot I was playing through a completely digital/solid state rig. I enjoyed the gig and at no point did I feel compromised or that it was less capable or was lacking in any way.
Colour me impressed. BTW, I'm running it into a Laney LFR-112
Is this imminent? Strange how they've not rolled it out on the FM9, but have the FM3.
My current main gigging preset is built around a Friedman Small Box, so this sounds intriguing!
I think its actually with the firmware development timelines as the FM9 is the new-boy on the block and is playing catch up - they'll catch up soon surely

Going to make getting to rehearsals much easier and simpler, that's for sure.

Anyone else noticed that? Even after using the align function to check the phase and whatnot, I don't find another cab tends to add too much to the sound. I was messing around with one of my presets the other day and thought it sounded just slightly shy in the low end. I removed the second IR I had loaded and it fattened it right up.
Worth experimenting with muting cabs, if you tend to just add cabs and set and forget type of thing.
I'm using a Diezel/Mesa 4x12 blend from Ownhammer currently. Perhaps it's already a pretty massive sound so doesn't really benefit from adding another IR into the mix.
Should also add that I am currently running in mono until I get another DXR10 - well looking forward to hearing all the chorusing/delays/reverbs etc when i've got that, - they'll sound frigging awesome in stereo.
One thing I love is the proximity control in the cab block. You can add some seriously fat low end to proceedings.
To be fair, the low reproduction on all of the amp models is really nice.
If you have a brighter amp selected, like an 800, you can really dive into it and turn it into a fat modded 800. It's so cool how you can essentially mod the internals of the amp to create new custom amps.
I've borrowed, used or owned all of the main modellers/profilers - Helix, QC, Kemper, Fractal.
The Fractal/FM9 is by far my favourite in just about every instance. The only thing I would poach from the others is the touch screen from the QC. That said, the FM9 isn't that difficult to use without the editor and is actually fairly intuitive once you spend a bit of time with it.
I have my FM9 on a Temple board with my wireless underneath, and Temple power and XLR side modules, so my setup has become: Arrive, open case, plonk the board on the floor, kettle lead in 1 side, XLRs in the other, grab a guitar and I'm ready to go. If that wasn't lazy enough I've also put the board in an SKB case on wheels and invested in a Mono Dual M80 so it's 1 trip to and from the car and the same sounds i was getting from the AxeFx 3. Love it
