    What is the point of SPDIF if it's just going to be converted to USB anyway?

    Naw, there is no need for USB 3, just because it's not the newest protocol does mean it's outdated either. I rem a thread on this back when the AFXII was still the king and the III was announced. IIRC it was stated that it would just add additional cost that added nothing to the product. For...

    FM3 Firmware Version 7.00

    I've gigged the FM3 in 4CM with an EVH 5150III since it was released. FM3 works great with this amp. Midi is really easy to program and it's just as fast as the foot controller and TS cable that came with the amp. IME, the main culprit of "gap" is caused by using presets that have way too much...
