Was only a matter of time before these companies got into this market. Will be good to have some options in that price bracket.

I had the GE200 and it was okay, IMHO the overdrive effects were pretty poor and it frustrated me how you could only run one effect at a time. Hence why I moved onto the Boss MD-500 - I can now run glorious chorus and leslie simultaneously !! The amp & cab modelling was okay, the tweakability of it all was probably better than the effects themselves.

However it did look gorgeous in its brushed steel enclosure, very classy. Nice size too. I'm sure they've improved things with the GE300 and no doubt the price will make it competitive.

At the moment they're priced at 750 pounds which is $1400 here.
I dunno, that's still expensive to me. Depending if the amp modeling is any good or not..
You could get a Helix stomp for $1.2k new. I dont imagine it being better.

Maybe.
What was the amp modeling like on your GE200?

Very average. Average enough that I didn't use it

The problem with the cost of the FM3 is that you'd probably need a midi controller for it, and they're expensive if you want something nice.

I don't know much at all about these units but what I would be interested in is a scaled-down, powered Kemper. That'd be groovy.
