The FM9 is out.
Time to sell the AX8 or the sound will be too close to spend any money?

The AX8 doesn’t run the Cygnus firmware, which is two generations beyond the AX8 and is stunning. If you want that firmware you will have to upgrade.The FM9 is out.

I use some newer York IR’s in both units, the FM3 has a noticeable improvement. The Ax8 is great, nothing wrong with it. One thing I do dislike was dialing in with the editor, having the pause constantly. The FM3 doesn’t do this, it’s very fast for editing.
I'm on the edge of a knife, I love my AX8, but does the Cygnus sound and amenities of the FM9 worth the jump?
I never bought the FM3, but I saw that now you can side chain the gate with the input, like the Decimator G-String or TC Electronic Sentry, am I right or just was a dream? This could be so useful in 4CM.
Plus the CPU power, dual amp (I never needed it), dual cab, high quality reverb, all of that is nice, but my point is: Do I really need all of that?
I don't know, it could be the GAS on me. LOL
Any clue of the resell value of the AX8 in today's market?
1,000% absolutely! I loved the tones I got from the AX8 but the strides made in Ares and now the jump to Cygnus has really separated the two platforms. The AX8 doesn't sound any worse, it will always sound great. It's just that Cygnus has taken amp modelling to another level in feel and response.I love my AX8, but does the Cygnus sound and amenities of the FM9 worth the jump?
