I re-discovered an old trick that's really working with the AxeFX:
I run my lead patch (which is essentially a trainwreck express model flat out), and then... get this... I turn DOWN the guitar volume to clean it up <gasp>! :icon_jokercolor:
I really like the tone I get like this. It has lots of headroom and articulation, but it dirties up in the right way when you wack it. I'm tempted to re-do all my clean patches like this: run a gain block with the volume down into the flat out trainwreck model.
I know I know - all of us have done it this way for years back in the day. But I'm just happy I re-discovered it. and I'm happy it works great with the AxeFX. :headbang:
Yeah, I saw that the other day. Thing isn't even shipping yet but suddenly there are a lot of Axe-Fx Standards and Ultras on eBay and Craig's List by guys trying to shift them before the bottom falls out.

Yeah, people are wanting the latest and greatest. I really don't think in the long run, the bottom will fall out. I perdict it will stabilize at 1500-1600 for used Ultras, 900-1000 for used Stds.
You're probably right. But, it is just a computer after all, and used computers hold their value about as hard and fast as used toilet paper. Once a unit is obsoleted, it's like a cancer diagnosis: you're worm food. There's not going to be any rebuilding these things in the aftermarket like there is for brute-force tube & transistor amps. Buy a used one, and you'll have to go into it knowing that if it fails, you may have to just throw it away.
