After an enormous amount of waffling and internal debate about getting a FM3, keeping my AX8, or just jumping in with both feet to the Axe-Fx III... I just placed my order for the III.
Can't wait to give it a spin. I'm sure it'll sound incredible, and it has more than enough processing power for anything I'll do with it. And it should cure any desire to move on to other systems for years and years. I loved my AX8, but I was often bumping into DSP limits.
My only nagging concern is with portability. We'll see - if I stick it in a 3u shallow rack case it isn't much different than my case for the AX8. And the FC-6 will be small enough to fit in my backpack.
To those who have moved to the III from floor units - anyone miss having the device screen available at your feet? I'm hoping the scribble scripts on the FC-6 will help alleviate any nagging desire for the screen next to the switches.
