    I am a Axe fx 2 user and find that i do use 2 amps quite often in my patches. For me it wont be an upgrade to a FM3 so its either an Axe 3 or nothing. I have actually decided to wait for the axe 4 to come out (when ever that happens) the axe fx 2 is certainly not obsolete. you could probably...

I then came across Michaels U2 Tutorials and thats when i fisrt became...
