I currently own a FM3/FC6 OMG9 setup with an EV2. I play out in a cover band 2-3 per month. When the FM9 was announced, I thought that would be the ticket for me. I'm now starting to think a bit deeper. I love the tones I get from the FM3 and usually to not need more horsepower. In the event that I do run low, I just make another more specific tone preset and move on. I typically gig with a LP and Strat. I use about 6-10 presets per gig. I can cover a lot of ground with those tones. I don't do a lot of recording, just gigs. It's only rock n roll, but I like it!
I'm now starting to explore the III, rather than purchase the FM9? How many guys are gigging with the III and one FC6? I already own the FC6, just not sure I can come up with a layout that would work with the III? I like to have access to 5-6 effects, tuner, and tap tempo. In addition, I'll need to be able to switch between scenes and presets? Not sure I can get that all done without a ton of tap dancing during the show?
If I'm going to make a change, I want settle in for a bit. I use to own the AX8 and now the FM3. I can come up with the funds to do whatever would be the best solution. One might make the case for the III and the FC12 or to add another FC6 and keep the FM3 as a back up? To be honest, I've never needed a backup. These units have been solid, as long as you stick to tried Firmware.
Sorry for the long post, just looking for advice from the guys that hang here. Thanks in advance for the advice!
