I've been through all the modelers and nothing satisfies like the Axe Fx III. I just returned my NDSP Quad Cortex to Sweetwater today. I had hoped it would be on par, but it was just so undeveloped and incomplete. It'll be literally YEARS before it's anywhere near what the Axe can do in terms of functionality and features, let alone models. It sounded just fine, but modelers have sounded fine for decades.
I even picked up the FM3, hoping it would be a portable Axe Fx III, but it wasn't - mainly due to the DSP limitations and yet-to-be-improved pitch block.
Now that I'm no longer using a single 'kitchen sink' preset, I think the DSP wouldn't be an issue anymore. I automate most of my preset/scene changes, so the 3 footswitches wouldn't be limiting. I just need that darn pitch block to be updated
I guess this is all to say that I'm spoiled and nothing will ever be as good as the Axe Fx III in my mind for my workflow. Why do I keep letting my GAS convince me that something will be better than it?!?
