Chop off the expression pedal section and it would be perfect for me! A small size with nine switches would be great.

During the wait for the FM3 FAS reported problems with SW development due to a malfunctionning tool that caused a considerable delay (timeloss) for the first FM3 to be available. Should be about 8 or nine months ago now. Anyway...this is history now; no use digging dead cows. Soundprocessing opportunity = new performant DSP. Sorry for writing in hieroglyphics sometimes. Have a nice day.SW development? Timeloss? Sound processing opportunity? I am new here can you elaborate please? I am genuinely interested.
Cheers!
I think FAS got quite pissed about the FM3 SW development and close to a year timeloss. Seems quite logic they'd jump on the train if a sound processing opportunity presents itself. Well anyway...no use to speculate...enough work with FM3
And I'm sure they wont announce anything new until it'sjust aboutready to ship.
Fixed it for you.
And there is certainly something new in the works! There has to be.
A new and better floor unit would be frustrating for a lot o FM3 users, me included.
My frustration would be only because is so difficult for me to buy FAS products here. But I would be very happy if I could buy a new and improved one.Not me. The FM3 is great for what it is, but I want to see a more powerful floor unit that can hang with the processing power of the AxeFX III with more buttons that is not as big as the FM3/FC6 combination
Prematurely discontinuing the FM3 for a replacement floor unit would certainly be frustrating, but adding a bigger brother the the product line would be very welcome. The sooner the better as far as I am concerned!
I imagine that platform architecture is a huge undertaking, and as such, should be designed as much as possible to future proof the product. It sure seems to me the the AXE III was designed that way much more than the FM3 was. I really like what Cliff has done with the "Keystone FP DSP".Not me.

if you're not requesting your spot in the waiting list... you are LATE!!!
Tonewise, if you try FM3 or AXIII I think you will come back as a customer.I'd list desired requirements for a new FM, but Fractal is going to do what they do and my input doesn't matter.
They lost me as a 3 customer because of size/dimensions, and as an FM customer because of switch/programability/midi limitations.
Maybe some year I'll see a product in the zone of what I need.
Until then I'm sitting it out with the Axe-Fx II and a Gordius Little Giant foot switch.
