Axe-Master
For folks that have some very specialized workflows and/or controller usage, maybe you should articulate how you use your existing foot controller, what you like about it, what you don't like about it,what you would ideally like, etc.
IOW, don't just say "I need 25 buttons". Explain what you want to accomplish. And it would help to consider the capabilities of the AxeIII as you do this. For instance, if you used to have to switch presets to pull off what you wanted, think about how you might do it with more CPU power (aka, more blocks), more drives, more delays, ABCD channels for almost everything, etc. So while you may have needed 25 buttons before, with 12 separate pedalboard layouts available (some global/some per preset), perhaps you can get away with the FC6.
