Axe-Fx III Power in a Backpack-Friendly Format

The Fractal Audio FM3 MKII Turbo is the ultimate "everything-in-one" solution for the modern guitarist. Featuring the same industry-leading Cygnus X2 Amp Modeling and UltraRes™/DynaCab™ technology found in Fractal's flagship processors, this "Turbo" edition provides a 10% boost in DSP power compared to the original FM3. This allows for more complex presets and smoother performance under heavy effect loads.

The MKII version also introduces significantly larger footswitch displays with double the character height, making it much easier to read your preset and scene names on a dark stage. With its 3-core "Griffin" processor and rugged steel chassis, the FM3 MKII Turbo is built for the professional who needs elite-tier tone in a compact, tour-ready format.

Key Features:

• Enhanced DSP: Turbo-charged 500MHz clock speed for expanded preset complexity.

• Large Displays: New, high-contrast footswitch displays for better visibility in any lighting.

• Cygnus X2 Modeling: The world's most accurate recreations of classic tube amplifiers.

• DynaCab™ Technology: Visual "mic-on-cab" tone shaping for effortless cabinet selection.

• 4x4 USB Audio: High-quality interface for recording, re-amping, and playback.

• Compact & Rugged: Fits in a backpack, yet durable enough for the rigors of the road.

Condition Note: This Preowned unit is in Excellent overall condition and includes the original factory box and power cable.  It has Temple Audio mounting plates on the bottom, which are easily removed with a heat gun.
