For my instance it’s the weight and less equipment to carry for out of town shows. For local shows I’ll continue to use my Axe III setup. But for out of town shows and band rehearsals I’m gonna use this setup.Why not just us your AX3 then?
Originally, I was going to put it on a board with my FC-6. I didn’t think I had a choice cause I was thinking I had to set it up like my AX8 rig was. But the FM3 is modular. I can use my FC-6 or FC-12 with it.
FM3 will fit in my gig bag so I can ditch my extremely heavy rack case. I had lower back surgery a few years back and still have a few herniated discs. Too many years of hauling around half stacks I guess.
I like the clean look of just a single XLR cable running from my backline to my pedalboard. If I had the FM3 on a board I’d have power, my wireless, FOH connections and my FRFR connections running everywhere like I did with my AX8 rig. I like the clean look of just the single XLR running to my board, FC-12 and expression pedals on my board. Nothing else.
And I love the FC-12. I can do everything I need with 1 push of a button. And with this setup I don’t have to give up any buttons. I can keep my setup exactly how it’s been with my Axe III rig but lighter and more portable for out of town show.
@FractalAudio knocked it out of the park with this modular approach to their gear.
