The importance of Mono for live guitar playing

Right, but the Sphere uses a lot of tech that no one else has, they spent over $2 billion to build it. Let me know when your local dive bar is getting the 160K Holoplot speakers.

Always mono... no one is going to hear anything in stereo.

Pedals and the 4CM

I would try to cut out as many pedals, and use the FM3 FX... Likely you will spend a lot of extra time with levels, hum, etc. So much easier to use the built in FX.

First Fractal - FM9 would work, but temped to go for flagship

OP, after lugging around the Axe Ultra\Axe II, amp, etc in a heavy rack case, switched to the FM3 and its night and day. Sure, the Axe III has a lot more options, but I make it all work with the FM3

Help with my first Reverb purchase (it's a PRS)

Buying anything on Reverb comes with some risks. I just avoid it completely. Why not just get a PRS from a dealer? https://prsguitars.com/dealers/canada

Poll results of feature requests

The auto level utility seems like a long shot... does it also auto correct your playing mistakes? ;) The irony is that I bet if you asked most people how many amps the Axe has in in currently 99% of the people would not know (without checking)

Seems like wishful thinking. I cant think of a single music related product that you can upgrade the hardware.

Axe-fx ultra

The Axe Ultra was discontinued 13 years ago. Sounds like you will need to use another PC\laptop\mac if you need Axe Edit.... or just get a newer Fractal
