I've decided to augment my current rig with a grab and go box. The FM3 is my choice. I know I am probably a long way away from getting mine. I just got on the list a few weeks ago.
Currently I run a Mesa Mark 5:25 with a FX8 using the 4cm. This rig is stellar. It's pretty much a grab and go rig, but to further it's portability and a backup rig, I run a Hotone Binary Amp and Mooer Radar IR box to turn my FX8 into a poor man's AX8 for gigs and rehearsals where taking an amp would be impractical. I have used the Mooer/Hotone combo for a gig where the power supplied by the venue was causing some pretty major hum in my amp.
So I have two questions... If I understand it, the FM3 is limited in the number of blocks available. My question is, will my Fx8 presets transfer? I usually pull them down from the web and then modify them for my rig anyway, so building new ones is not out of the question, I just would love to have an easy way of making sure both units have a core set of presets that are very similar to what my gigging presets are.
My second question is would the FM3 ever be able to replace my Fx8 in the 4cm? Looks like there are enough inputs and outputs to handle it, it would all come down to how those inputs/outputs can be routed. I use a function on the Fx8 that I know can't be replicated (relay switching to control my amp).
Thanks in advance!
