It's killer for that. Beats most any pedalboard you can think of. You physically couldn't carry a pedalboard big enough to hold all the effects in the FM3.
 
Not 100%. I use a FX8 with strymon Iridium. The FX8 has more switches and two relais to switch amp channels. The effects/Drives are better than the FX8 - last FW from 2017, no Ares.

True, but you can add switches to the FM3 in several ways.

Also true, but that wont affect the OP's stated use as a multi-effect with a tube amp.

True again.

The FX8 could never have Ares, because Ares is an amp modeling system, and the FX8 has no amp modeling.
 
I don't use much effect, just low/medium gain overdrive, a bit of reverb and sometimes analog delay and tremolo. I would like to replace my board with this unit. And of course i will use also the emulation of the amp, but i love my princeton, so i'm interested to use togheter.

But the FM3 switches are really flexible! I can access more on the FM3 with 3 switches than I could on the FX8 in a preset!
