Player's choice.
many people were considering using an FC12 (or 6) for their main guitar sounds, then a 6 for looper or other special effect controls.
More or less, yes. I’m not certain a black background is possible.Can you be more specific with this
So if I want the window to be black
W blue text or green text is that doable ???
I'm dying to get on the waitlist for the FC-12...LOVING my AXE III so far.
How customizable will the FC6/12 be, if known ? Can it be configured to do things like 6 switches for scenes or channels, and then the other 6 for looper, specific effects on/off ? This would all be on a per patch basis as well from what I thought I read ?....
I wanted to sort of split my board, and also have the option to just use 1 FC-6 for smaller gigs.Seems like two FC-6’s would add $300 cost and an extra power supply requirement while just offering the same number of switches as the FC-12. How come you want to go for two FC-6’s ?
From the bottom of the Axe Fx III announcement page:How customizable will the FC6/12 be, if known ? Can it be configured to do things like 6 switches for scenes or channels, and then the other 6 for looper, specific effects on/off ? This would all be on a per patch basis as well from what I thought I read ? So you could do something like have controls for a looper on one preset and then on a different preset you could have those same switches change to a different purpose ?
On the MFC101 everything was rather static, so you needed a lot of switches because they always did the same thing... but, if the switches can dynamically change preset to preset that could let me do a lot more with fewer switches.
I might actually consider a 6 depending on how much it can do, like have 6 scene switches on the fly, then press and hold to go into IA type settings, or press and hold to bring up looper controls etc.
Each FC controller can have up to 12 different “layouts” with each layout featuring your choice of control functions. Default factory layouts are provided to get up and running quickly while advanced users can program their own custom layouts to fit their individual performance needs.
A layout can contain any combination of functions including Preset, Scene, Channel, Effect Bypass, and more. Each switch can also perform multiple tasks with functions assignable to both TAP and HOLD. Need more switches? Up to four FC series foot controllers can be daisy-chained for up to 48 switches at once!

My original idea was 1 FC-12 and 1 FC-6... But with the listed prices, I won't be doing that. Most likely just end up with 1 FC-12 now...
Are those layouts per-preset? Are they saved within a preset? Or do you have 12 global layouts, any of which can be assigned to a preset?I think I’m getting a handle on it.
The way it works is you create layouts. I think you can have 12.
For each layout you can decide what each of the 6/12 footswitches do when you press and press+hold. IOW, every switch has two functions.
The things you can do are broken up into some basic categories - bank, preset, effect, scene, utility, and layout. Within those there choices like direct selecting something, incrementing, toggling thing
So you can create a layout that is your way to navigate banks and patches and takes you to a couple different layouts.
It certainly seems pretty darn powerful.
Am I the only one with sticker shock. $700 of the cost of the Axe Fx III is pretty steep. And did I read this right that it’s basically a pasthrough from the Axe?
