Well, after recently porting my Axe Fx III presets to my FM3 (so I can keep my Axe Fx III set up in the studio), I decided to whip up a few presets on my HX Stomp that lives in my gig duffel bag just in case the FM3 goes down. I made a basic clean, dirty, and acoustic preset, as well as downtuned versions of each using the Poly Pitch block.
This exercise made me really appreciate my FM3 tone & feel, and especially DSP; for the downtuned clean and dirty, I could have literally NO other blocks other than the poly pitch block and the combo amp+cab block. Luckily, my acoustic preset was more or less just a few EQs and a compressor, so I had a bit more flexibility, but man; trying to coax a tone that sounds anywhere near as good as my FM3 is a real challenge
Anyway, what are y'all using as a backup to your FM3? Or is your FM3 a backup to something else, like your Axe Fx III?
