Podgo VS FM 3

Review PodGo and Fractal Audio FM 3

[@ibrajimenez2098]

I was considering trying a fm3 . I've been using my pod go for a year and loved it. My only hesitation is that I'm wondering if 3 buttons will be enough. I love snapshot feature on the pod go

I have the FM9 Turbo. I strongly considered the FM3 but it is really nice having access to all your presets within the scene with zero tap dancing. Also, the double DSP does make the tone better and richer with added things like two amps, high res. reverbs. Like you said, the FM3 is perfectly fine for most but the FM9 is better. I also learned how to dim the LED lights- helps at night when it's a foot away on your desk! They were too bright. I stopped the flashing Tap Tempo too. I like many of the stock scenes like Bassman 59 and 65 and the Studio cleans. Some of the distortions are amazing too. Even the tuner on either is great and easy to use. I connected an external Boss RC500 Looper. It has more features and sounds great- 32 bit. It also has drum machine. I can save my loops too. I have to use an interface with this set up as the RC500 does not have headphone outs- only "low" instrument level out. The FM3 is a better value than the PodGO considering what you are getting. I run my FM9 through two JBL studio monitors AS my Fishman Mini amp. The amp adds a little something special including more bass.

Hi.. which one would you prefer for best sound? Can POD GO sounds great and for profesional guitarist?

For the pro sound, the FM 3 by far, it is almost $1200.00 with tax. The PodGo will work for less money with better IRs, then what comes with the PodGo. Also the PodGo effect are not as good as the FM 3.
