Reply With QuoteIt's great if one can resist tinkering...it's really hard for me, if a possibility exists :-) certainly if different sounds are required, like in cover bands etc. that'd be a great machine I bet.

Dee,
You are player who knows what he wants and knows how to get it..................not many can say that with confidence.
I'm not a "candy land" user of the Axe FX. I have nine patches that are set solid for gigs, and I stay pat with them. The Marshall and Vox models I have loaded sound excellent consistently - gig after gig.
If new tunes come up needing new sounds, I know I can make it happen with the Axe FX.....................but tinkering with it just to tinker is not something I do.

One of the advantages of the Axe FX is that it is so flexible. It is a tweaker's wet dream.
However, as you've pointed out, P_S, you have it in "set and forget mode." It is also great in this regard. Just because it is flexible and you absolute power of adjustment over the parameters, doesn't mean you have to.

It's great to have that power at my disposal with the Axe FX. If I need a new sound, I know I can get it. I'm not afraid to dig right into it looking for a new sound, but once I have it to my likings, I load a preset with it and move on.
It is fun to hook it up to my PC with the MIDI interface and play with the editor, though........................
