Thanks Rex, is the only difference in the newer mark II the larger text size in the LCD and scribble strips?

FC-12 with Axe III MKII

Hello, I have an Axe Fx III MK II. Will I have any issues with an FC-12 MK I? I believe they run different firmware correct? I just wanted to check before buying a used one I found at a reasonable price. Any help or guidance is appreciated!

Switching to AX8 from Kemper ...

I was a Fractal owner for years using AXE Standard then moving to the AXE II. I decided to sell th Fractal gear and used Kemper for two years. You're right the Kemper is good however everything just sounded the same. I purched the AX8 and couldn't be happier. I think you will be very happy too.

Even the GT800FX does the job and its loud! The Powerstation is nice much but heavier and takes more room in the rack.

4cm routing question - is this possible?

Does the AX8 have relays in the pedal inputs? I'd like to be able to channel switch my head which uses a standard 1/4 mono cable or do I need to get a midi control switcher like the voodoo labs or amp gizmo? If someone could shed light on this I'd appreciate it. From Ola's statement here...
