Moving from III to III MKII

[SteveW]

I'm getting my MKII very shortly -

Can I just use Fractal Bot to backup my custom presets and restore to the MKII, or do I need to rebuild? I know how to, but was curious as to whether there was anything special I needed to lookout for...

The MKII uses the same Firmware etc. except the display and preset and user memory, it's the same unit.

Could resist the cool new screen?

Ya, and I can sell the current unit without a big loss, so I figured...why not! Costs me a few bucks to upgrade every few years, but it's a passion, like other things for me...and it only brings positive changes to my life...but most importantly, makes me wanna play more each day!

Can't put a price on health and playing more guitar!!

This is the most important thing.
Have fun with it!

Yes, I just did the same thing. Just sold my III for $2K in one day once the MKII arrived. The MKII screen is much better and more detailed, and it has double the preset memory which is, to me, the biggest benefit. You can simply use Fractal Bot to backup your III presets and cabs, and load them into the MKII with no issues.

Same unit basically
Same as others, sold the MkI right after getting the MkII.

I moved from the III to the III Mark 2. Just restored my backup, presets, cabs, and was back in business.
