Dual amps Mute/unmute vs Multiplexer block

I am sure there are other scenarios but I have always viewed the multiplexer as a tool if you have multiple ins and outs you need to switch between. If you one in and multiple outs then just bypassing blocks is efficient enough. That's my rule of thumb.

I think we are at the point that the question needs to be turned around. It's not how accurate the AxeFX is? It's can a tube amp sound as good as the AxeFX? You have considerable more control in the AxeFX to make it sounds any way you want. You don't with a tube amp.
