■ A NEW ERA
■ Back in 2022, I upgraded to the Fractal audio FM3.
■ I mostly hate modellers, but this is just a different league.

■ It's been on my radar for quite some time, so look out for demos, gear reviews, and various live streams specials on this unit.
■ Many of you know I've been a longtime Marshall JMP-1 user, often just going direct from the speaker emulated outs. 

■ For the time being, I will still be taking my JMP-1's out to my live gigs as they're somewhat unpredictable, and I'd rather not put an AxeFx unit on the floor with beer spilling about the place!

■ My main reasons for upgrading were because my JMP-1's are getting old! The effects loops and internal parts are starting to fail, so I just felt it was time to upgrade.
■ However, that said, eventually, I will be moving over to AxeFx gear for everything, so maybe a custom made pedalboard to protect things will be needed.
