Because the AX8 has been discontinued at the very moment the FM3 was announced ? Maybe it's just me viewing it this way.Why does it have to be comparable to the AX8?
...
makes sense. i still think if they came out with something that looked almost exactly like the AX8, people would have complained just about that fact.Because the AX8 has been discontinued at the very moment the FM3 was announced ? Maybe it's just me viewing it this way.
I'm doing with 3 switches what previously took 15 to achieve.As soon as the FM3 was announced (and I got on the wait list) started reading into how the switches and layouts worked on the FC pedals.
Once I felt I understand that, I made a post asking to confirm my findings which I did and I learned a little bit more. I can do what I need to with 3 switches and layouts. Obviously some folks will want more switches based upon their needs but many don't yet understand what can be done.
Simply put, I determined that the 3 switches on the FM will do everything I need to do with 11 switches on the AX-8. To me, that's pretty cool considering all the advantages (I perceive) of the FM3 - size, weight, tonal quality, etc.
layout links.I am interested in finding out how layouts get changed on the fly in this 3 button format
Could be, but I'm sure with a LOT more tap dancing and multiple button presses than the AX8, where one button for one task. Much easier conceptually especially when on stage in the heat of things. where i don;t want to think of tap / hold / page layout / etc just to get to a solo boost.I'm doing with 3 switches what previously took 15 to achieve.
This is my exact concern with the 3 button concept. You can do a lot with it but, for me, I'm not sure how practical it is to go menu diving on a live gig, hoping you end up in the right place & being able to quickly get back out if you do get to the wrong place, all while playing. I do think it is a very cool product & I like the fact that it is modular & you can buy as much or as little as you need or can afford at the time.Could be, but I'm sure with a LOT more tap dancing and multiple button presses than the AX8, where one button for one task.

You'll be able to do that in the initial release. Any button can be assigned to activate the tuner.If you add tuner support for a follow-up firmware update for foot switch support that would be nice -- some of us would like to offload some features out from the main switches such as tuner activation to the foot switches.
Even for EXTERNAL switches connected to the pedal input(s)?You'll be able to do that in the initial release. Any button can be assigned to activate the tuner.
Yes.Even for EXTERNAL switches connected to the pedal input(s)?
