A Compact Powerhouse

The FM3 Mark II Turbo is a compact yet powerful floor unit for guitar, bass, and other instruments—combining amp modeling, FX processing, foot control, and USB audio, all in a unit that fits in your backpack with room to spare. Featuring industry-leading Cygnus X2 amp modeling, UltraRes™ and DynaCab™ speaker simulation, and a vast collection of legendary stompbox and studio effects, it delivers the sound and flexibility of our flagship processors in a rugged, road-ready format. With exceptional I/O and expandability, the FM3 Mk II Turbo is built for players who demand the ultimate in performance and portability.

Key Highlights

• Turbo DSP / Power: 10+% more processing power than the original FM3. Three-core “Griffin” architecture with dedicated graphics processor runs Axe-Fx and FM9 presets within its DSP, grid, and block inventory limits.
• Main Display / Interface: Large high-contrast color main display with five push encoders for fast visual editing — plus three new larger mini displays with almost twice the viewing area for better visibility.
• Modeling Engine: Industry-leading Cygnus X2 amp modeling recreates the sound and feel of real tube amplifiers with unparalleled realism. No other modeling technology uses the same component-level physical modeling approach, where every circuit, tube stage, and control is individually modeled to behave and interact just like the originals. From vintage icons to modern high-gain monsters — and everything in between — Cygnus X2 delivers authentic tone, feel, and dynamic response.
• Speaker Simulation: DynaCab™ + UltraRes™ — 2,200+ factory cabs + 1,024 user slots.
