what you actually bought
the one thing
A whole guitar rig in one box, built by dropping blocks onto a grid and wiring them together. How it sounds depends mostly on what you plug it into.
what it is
A floor processor with the same 14x6 stereo grid as the Axe-Fx III, two amp and cab pairs per preset, eight scenes and four channels per block. It adds nine footswitches, nine switchable layouts, and a FASLINK II port for up to two more foot controllers.
check your modeler
If yours has three footswitches it is an FM3, which allows only one amp and cab pair. If it is a rack with no switches at all, that is the Axe-Fx III.
check this first
A footswitch that seems to have stopped working is on a different layout. Layouts reassign all nine switches at once, and holding a switch usually steps between them.
