I'm pretty excited about what I'm getting just from the stock presets. I'm also having a little option shock because there is so much to work with. It'll be a long time before I gig with this but I'm already using if for a Zoom lesson and the student told me it sounds fucking great on their end.

That is what always keeps me away from these things. I got overwhelmed by the stupid TC Electronic editor on their pedals, I can't imagine having that much control over everything
Usually with stuff like this I learn just enough to use it for my purposes and the rest is shrouded in mystery.That is what always keeps me away from these things. I got overwhelmed by the stupid TC Electronic editor on their pedals, I can't imagine having that much control over everything
After yesterday I am seriously considering selling my Suhr Badger 30 and putting this thing on my big pedalboard with the Boss ES-8 as a midi controller, getting rid of the majority of my pedals and getting an FRFR cab for stage.
Most of my pedals are drive pedals that I use to get different amp sounds. The FM3 does all of that stuff better. The effects in the FM3 also seem to be pretty good. @Poparad uses his with an external midi box (Morningstar IRC) and a few pedals to offload the processing in the FM3 for more complex sounds. I could do most of what I need with the FM3 and possibly the H9. Of my two amps, I love the Deluxe with the Suhr extension cab and the small pedalboard and I've been over the Badger for a few years but didn't think trying for new amps was worth the time.
Something to think about. I'm pretty sure I'm selling the Suhr regardless, though. After much experimenting with both of my amps I'd rather just play the Kevin Nelson-modded Deluxe.

A friend of mine has one of these:

He runs an Aplifire box into it and it sounds awesome.

I’m considering it. I really am.
That looks cool.
I’m not seeing where you can run out of it into your PA. I was under the assumption that cabs like that allowed you to chain your rig straight to the mixer.
