Hi all, long time lurker here and have finally come to the decision to upgrade to an FM3 from my Headrush Gigboard. I have some questions just to help me confirm that the FM3 is the right choice (rather than the FM9). I prefer the smaller form factor and knowing how i use the 4 footswitches on the Headrush, three will be adequate for what I need.
My questions
1. will there be problems with cpu limits. I don't have a kitchen sink preset per se and am happy to make different presets for different songs in a set. My most "complex" preset would be something like this
input > comp > eq > k drive > phaser > amp > white drive > delay > chorus > verb > para eq > ir
I'm hoping this should be easily achievable within cpu constraints.
2. I do use 2 amps and ir's in some settings on the Headrush to thicken up the sound. I know dual amps and dual ir's are not possible with the FM3 (but possible with the FM9). I'm assuming with the tweakability of the amps within the FM3 and the ability to switch channels would make up for loosing this feature.
Any advice/observations to help confirm my decision much appreciated.
Thanks
