    Axe-Fx III Firmware 25.00 Public Beta (Cygnus X-3)

    I'm loving this update, amps sound warmer and more open to me - at least the ones I've been trying. I haven't spent ages going through different amps as the time I have had on the III have been mainly on the 800 amps. Great work FAS

    Best presets to buy for FM9?

    @Burgs presets are as good as any bought ones I've tried, and they're free - So good why I sold my AX8 to get my III @austinbuddy Are about the Gold standard for bought presets for good reason @Moke Are superb too

    [edit] - bought the kemper bag, was: "still confused about FM9 bags"

    I cannot recommend the Helix backpack highly enough. Works great for carrying the unit, expression pedals and leads If you're not after something hardcase it's perfect. I have the D'addario backpack for my IEM, leads and spare bits and that'd work reall well to as I know the FM9 would fit in it
