Long story short(ish), I've used Kemper, Fractal (AX8 - still have it) and other much older tech years ago.....Kemper was great for a specific prog rock band but had quirks that finally had me sell it once the band disbanded (excuse the pun)....AX8 is still for indoor practice and for a country band (at the moment).
My main gigging set up is an Engl Ironball (original not SE) with a CaptorX to deal with the apparent inabilty of most soundmen to mic a cab properly.....and a pedalboard at the end or a pedalsnake

with an ES-5 that lets me switch channels and layer either a Keeley DS-1 for a hair of gain, a CM Plexitone for higher gain, or switch to the Engl high gain channel for modern high gain.
I also currently use a midi connection to change the CaptorX settings for lead.
The pedalboard is where most things can go wrong....eventally patch leads or even pedal sockets go faulty and re-routing stuff is a pain.
I was wondering about a unit that could do most of my effects, and switch channels on my amp....and even allow me a couple of loops for my overdrive pedals. Something like an MS-3 perhaps.
So, what are your experiences recommendations for this......I was wondering if this might bridge the gap between full modeller and full 'traditional' set up.....giving me a smaller pedalboard with less chance of failure and easier routing options....
Price is definitely a factor here.....if I were going to pay hundreds then I might as well try one of the latest and greatest modellers, FM9 etc...
Thanks,
Andy

I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
The loop can be controlled like any other sound - either alone like a stomp, or as part of a Snapshot (like a patch but with instant switching).
