@phil92 Hey there! Yes, as
@unix-guy mentioned, I LOVE the FCB1010 with no upgrade chip. I get through the whole gig using one bank (01):
Pedal 1: Scene 1 & 5 (toggle between the two)
Pedal 2: Scenes 2 & 6
Pedal 3: Scenes 3 & 7
Pedal 4: Scenes 4 & 8
Pedal 5: Tap Tempo
Pedal 6: Clean Triaxis Preset (with 8 varied scenes; the pedal itself toggles between my two favorite scenes)
Pedal 7: Dirty Triaxis Preset (with 8 scenes; like the clean, the pedal toggles between two favorite scenes)
Pedal 8: Acoustic Preset (only 1 scene for now)
Pedal 9: Delay 1 Block Toggle
Pedal 10: Reverb Block Toggle
EXP A: Volume
EXP B: Tuner (or you can use it for wah, whatever)
In reality, I could probably get by with fewer scenes; like maybe three per preset, but I have more just for variety. I could probably squeeze a few more functions out of this bank but it works for now. Might have to adjust fire as I start incorporating keyboards into my set and wish to control it with the FCB10101 as well (you can do that; since each function can be sent on its own channel!)
The expression pedals feel a bit too free, but they work fine. They're the only parts that feel cheap. The rest is rock solid. I've dropped mine on concrete in the rain before a gig and had no issues. I have a video series on YouTube about using the stock FCB1010 with the Axe Fx III (just look up "Axe-Fx III & FCB1010" username Ugly Bunny) and I'm extremely responsive to questions and requests. We're here to help
(FWIW, at home I use two other banks: bank (00) is my looper bank that also has presets, a couple scenes, and some other goodies, then bank (02) is my individual effects blocks bank). It's very easy and infinitely customizable)
