I’m sure this discussion has come up on many different threads.
Very happy AF3 user here. My invite has come up for the FM3 and I’m trying to think through how/when I would use each.
Ideally I’d prefer to have just one unit, which would cut down on a lot of redundancy.
The AF3 wins on everything for me except portability and that’s an important one. I typically need to set up and break down pretty quickly before and after rehearsals and a 3U rack certainly makes that harder.
But for studio work in home, the AF3 is so great.
I “think” I could get by with the FM3 as I don’t use tons of CPU and I typically have per song presets with just a Scene 1/2 toggle for the solo. But I might also miss the AF3 because we it just works so well.
Curious what others have done. Are you managing multiple presets on each? Did you make the switch to the FM3? Pass on the FM3? Still thinking about it?
Thanks. All good options to have! By the way, I have an FC6 so that is a given in either setup.
