I have an axeiii mk2. Would I be crazy to go back to my old ax8 setup? Do I have rose colored glasses or would I be disappointed. I miss the form of the AX8 for travel, ease, and tweaking live.

Of course, if I'd kept my AX8, there's no reason it wouldn't still be serving me well.I think you might be disappointed.
Why not one of the FM* options?
Nah I sold the AX8 when I got the IIIAre you keeping both?
Either way, use what works.
I echo this. Once I got my FM9 the step up was too great to keep the AX8. Gave a local forum member a good deal on itI'd personally choose an FM3 over an AX8. The sounds are much better and that's what matters most.
I miss the slightly more compact two row / 10+1 switch layout of the AX8. In every other way, the FM9 is vastly superior.AX8 was/is a great form factor.
Keep the III and get on the FM9 waitlist.Nah I sold the AX8 when I got the III
In that case, since you would be buying another device, the FM3 or FM9 are definitely worth the 'upgrade'. The AX8 vs Axe III tones was closer when I bought the Axe III at FW 3.0, but now the difference in tone and feel are very noticeable. The last time I played the AX8 was when I decided the difference was too great and sold it to get the FM3.Nah I sold the AX8 when I got the III
Better is an opinion.
Agreed. I had the AX8 and sold it when the FM3 came out. The FM3 is a better form factor; better features; better sounds; up to date firmware, which is still being updated, improved and supported. IMHO, the FM3 over the AX8 is a no-brainer.I'd personally choose an FM3 over an AX8. The sounds are much better and that's what matters most.
Anything can be measured. If he likes the ax8 let him like the ax8. Some guys get an amp and die with it, this is no different.Better can be measured.
