I currently use an FM9 and have several electric guitars with mags & piezos. I use presets routinely where I have a seperate input (Input 2 left only) for the piezo output of the guitar. I use this setup a lot to cover acoustic parts of tunes without having to switch guitars. I run that path with it's own stereo cab with 2 acoustic IR's, no amp, some delay & reverb, maybe a comp block or other effect. I normally just have that run into output 2 along with the mags for live use into FRFR cabs and FOH.
I love the FM9 (and all it's switches) but I want to add some other devices and my board is already heavier & bigger than ideal. Also, I know i could get by with 1 amp and less blocks for most or maybe all of what I do on live gigs, so I am considering if I could do what I normally do with an FM3.
I know there would be some comprimises, but I'm just curious if others are gigging the FM3 like this and what issues you have with it. Any big issues for you? I know for me, paring down to 3 footswitches will be a challenge, but a smaller rig would be nice. I'm sure I'd have to trim the fat from a lot of my presets...
