??? ...thought I read somewhere where you could have one IR type or the other loaded into the user bank? ..but not both? .. Now, If you could have both, then yes, I guess the best of both worlds would be doable (if the powers that be deem it), but if Mk1 users could only have user banks stuffed with their previously purchased IRs, or the new, then it kinda throws people under the bus who have collected hundreds of the previous IRs and use them for live-sound etc., (was my point).How would they not have access to their old school IRs? The factory banks are untouched, and the user banks get filled by IRs that you have purchased and/or downloaded. All of your user banks should still exist on your computer, if you back them up.
I have yet to hear one person explain why they need to have 2048 user IRs on their FX3 at all times. I’m truly curious to see a real-world example of why 1024 User IRs is just not enough. I should say that my perspective is colored by my past, which consisted of using 1 amp and 1 cab with a few pedals for an entire gig. But even if I could swap out a new rig for every song, it would still “only” be 40 amps and 40 cabs. Stereo? Okay - 80. So a bank of 100 IRs would suffice. What am I missing?
Instead of 2048 user IRs (old) you would have 1024 old and 32 full res??? ...thought I read somewhere where you could have one IR type or the other loaded into the user bank? ..but not both? ..

Probably have it all mixed-up though. :0) ...I didn't have caffeine before rattling off all that crap. Damn lucky there wasn't any mention of Aliens and the Loch Ness Monster or whatnot riddled through that post, for it! :0)
If it's doable, and the team is feeling charitable, then that might be ideal. :0)Instead of 2048 user IRs (old) you would have 1024 old and 32 full res
Cliff has already said it's not possible.At the risk of just being ignored, I would still like to know in detail just how impossible it would be to turn a Mk I into a MK II at some reasonable cost less than a brand new MK II? Thanks!
It would only affect the User 2 Bank. Factory 1 & 2 and User 1 are not affected at all.??? ...thought I read somewhere where you could have one IR type or the other loaded into the user bank? ..but not both? ..

Very, very, VERY impossible.At the risk of just being ignored, I would still like to know in detail just how impossible it would be to turn a Mk I into a MK II at some reasonable cost less than a brand new MK II? Thanks!
Cliff has your unit's serial number. With the next update you will be downgraded to Axe Fx StandardI dont need the Fullres stuff, but i dont need the user 2 too.
I'm going to respectfully disagree with you there. FX3 has IR Capture, and about twice as much horsepower. It's the Flagship, and there will always be a market for it, especially in studios where real-time foot control isn't super necessary, or with larger acts where nothing but the best will do.FM9 is actually an Axe FX 3 killer
Cliff already replied on this.At the risk of just being ignored, I would still like to know in detail just how impossible it would be to turn a Mk I into a MK II at some reasonable cost less than a brand new MK II? Thanks!
Since the III has double the cpu it's not going to be killed by the fm9 and that extra cpu will be made use of for something. The fm9 is the ultimate live FAS unit when portability is a concern. The III is the ultimate for several things. Get both!!! win/winSpeculating: I don't know if FM9 will/can have FullRes IRs but i think FM9 is actually an Axe FX 3 killer. For most people it has enough power and
also most people will not need anyhing beside expression pedal(s) to use it where as for Axe FX 3 you still need a controller. Simplicity, cost, easier transport and all that...makes the Axe FX 3 pretty weak against FM9.
My point is, i think more and more features will be added to Axe FX 3 MK2 which can't be put on MK1 or FM9 which will give some customers reason to buy/consider Axe FX3 over FM9.
