    Because I’m contemplating an “all in one” board. My III and rjm GT22 work perfectly fine together, no need to change that. But I’m using 2 small shock mount racks for the III, IEM system & backup, wireless system, Furman, and an interface made by Bob Bradshaw. I could reduce it all to one board...

    I’m not in a huge hurry to do this as my III and rjm GT22 work great, so I can wait on the FM9 availability. I’ve been contemplating the expression pedals on one board and the FM9 and FC12 on another, for ease of transportation. Thanks for the advice and sharing your thoughts!

    Axe Fx III vs. vintage 80s Rack
