Fractal Audio FM3 Mk II TURBO - Amp Modeler / Multi-FX / Floor Unit

The FM3 Mk II Turbo is an all-in-one amp modeler, effects processor and foot controller. It features Fractal's latest CYGNUS X2 amp modeling, developed for the award-winning Axe-Fx III. The FM3 recreates the sound and the feel of real tube amps, with 300+ models offering an impressive range of clean, “edge of breakup”, and everything from warm, touch-sensitive overdrive to face-melting modern distortion. 

The FM3 also includes the entire speaker cab impulse response (“IR”) collection from the Axe-Fx III, with a stunning 2,200+ “Factory” choices and 1,024 “User” locations to store custom sounds from free or commercial producers. Firmware 7, now in public beta, brings new DynaCab™ capabilities -- and more -- to the FM3 Mk II Turbo!

In comparison to the original FM3, the new MKII TURBO offers 10+% more DSP, allowing for more complex presets that would exceed the limits of the older version. It also adds new larger footswitch mini-displays.
