    New FM3T second dumb question

    Coming from my Axe Fx2 and MFC, I never really used scenes. I was able to toggle through my main presets and switch on/off effects, life was good. I've created some great presets on my FM3 and am now trying to set up the switches to toggle through different presets/scenes without having to go...

    How easy is it to hit the CPU limit?

    When compared to an Axe Fx 2 Mk II? I'm considering selling some stuff off and getting an FM3 Turbo. I don't run big complicated patches, but I do like to use more than one cab block in my presets, at least that's how I do it on my Mark II. Any suggestions?
