Fractal FM9!!

I'm glad with this model they put the main out knobs in the same place as the AX8. Why they didn't do that with the fm3 I don't know.

FM9 is about 50% the power of the Axe 3 but twice as powerful as the FM3 which means dual amps and more complex signal chains over the FM3. I'm like Nik, Just basic amp tones and a couple of effects at the most, I have no desire to change. Good move by Fractal with the FM9.. they actually listen to their customers.

Yeah all fair points. Now that I've calmed down a bit I still feel from a gigging pov the AX8 has plenty of power for what I need and isn't going to be a $3k unit sitting on the floor in front of drunk patrons. Still super happy with the sound too.

I do run out of cpu pretty easily when I'm trying to experiment with more complex presets, which is only an issue when I'm mucking around at home. If I were a richer man I'd like to have the Axe 3 sitting on my desk to play with at home. It would actually take care of both guitars and bass duties for my band too which will be cool.

One day I'll pick one up secondhand; I don't want to sell everything up and go all in and then still need to buy a floor controller.

These things make me wish they had a full power Helix with scribble strips, but no expression pedal

Looks and sounds pretty impressive!

Awesome! I managed 6.56 before my head exploded.

Yeah but it could use a few more options
