HI looking at getting a Axe-Fx III but i see on the web page theirs a 2 amp 2 cab Per preset limit ?
that's the same limit as Axe-Fx II so should I get a Axe-Fx III when i can get a Axe-Fx II from ebay half the price ?
The huge difference is the 4 channel capabilities of the blocks. So with each preset you have available 8 totally different amps!!

I find it negligible in the II...though I don’t use IEMs.Yeah, but switching channels causes a gap in audio which I personally find very annoying.
It probably doesn’t matter in a live mix, but it turns me off in IEMs.
So I didn’t use X/Y on the II, and don’t use channels on the III if I can avoid that.

I’ve yet to setup my III ...and I’m confident I could get the channel switching to work for me however with the tips provided here.
And there’s every possibility FAS will be adding a 3rd amp and cab ...may go up to 4 or more ...

I was being facetious, guess an emoji would have been appropriate. The AX8 in enough for me in most cases. The Axe-Fx III is definitely enough for me.Hmmmmnnn ... it is for me. Diff strokes I suppose.

I was referring to comments I read when researching the III about the lack of enough CPU, block instances, etc.... No matter what a company provides, no matter how cutting edge or powerful, people inevitably want more.
There was a poll for 3 amp blocks but I believe the ultimate response was 'no' as it would be detrimental to overall sound quality. I'm a little bummed as I already run stereo guitar and was really looking forward to sending a third amp block to an output that runs to my bass amp. I could set a pitch block, geq, etc. and get the lower bass notes to ring out in a bass amp while playing a single guitar. The concept of a third amp block had me excited as it would really simplify my setup. Guess I'm stuck with pedals for my bass amp for now. Who knows, maybe they will change their mind in the future. Either way, the Axe FX III sounds fantastic and has a multitude of options available!

You can still run drive pedals, the "IR player" block, compressor etc for a 3rd chain for a bass, which would likely still sound quite good. Not exactly the same as running three dedicated amp blocks of course, but dual amp blocks and a signal path for a bass, or a synth etc should be quite doable and yield great results
Use the Blackglass drive block instead of an Amp block?
