Thats great news! I joined a few weeks ago, so hopefully by the end of summer Ill have a better idea of what I’m doing as well with my unit.
Actually, that brings me to a more difficult resolution. As I’m going through Coopers class, I am starting to see how much potential I have with the axe, as well as how much I have overlooked unwittingly. I feel like the FM3 is going to be a more immediate, finite use but it has the advantage of the built in (FC3 lol) Foot control, and then the 1.25k lesser price tag....i mean you are getting a lot for a very reasonable price
At the same time, Coopers class has demonstrated just the beginning of the flip side of that same coin: namely, there is so much to do and with such unlimited potential already in the palm of my hand, will I be alright in the future/long term with JUST the processing power of a 1/4 of this unit. Because as powerful as it is, you can quickly get into some higher CPU processing if you dont watch it...so I couldn’t imagine hitting 70-80% on the axe iii, but I definitely see that as a possibility on the FM3 now, which i didnt before
So, there has to be SOME disadvantage to the limit, but whether or not that affects me (or players like me, on my level of expertise or knowledge of the axe....like while I consider myself a a musician, I am not up to speed or up to par with other guitarists with technical knowledge of their gear, which I realize now was an essential piece of my development as an electric guitarist that I missed [im self taught, but i transitioned from classical piano and flamenco guitar, FWIW]
Anyway, this forum is honestly THE most helpful, honest, and respecftful group of gents I’ve come across on line, and as much as the kemper group was nice, the amount of knowledge and feedback and professional proprietary knowledge you get from FAS forums is just breath taking really
If anyone feels like recommending on me holding out for the FM3, that is before buying the FC6 , please let me know....and so many of you already can sense the axe iii isn’t leaving, but still.... lol decisions decisions
