    Thinking of buying a III or possibly FM9 Turbo as an upgrade for my II - Curious what folks think is most improved.

    If you want to replicate your axe II presets exactly you will not be happy. I have the fm3 and axe II, they both sound great but different, the fm3 has a different feel. But copy the sound of my axe II presets, can't make them sound close at all. As time went by I started to enjoy the presets I...
