I've played P&W exclusively on a weekly basis for nearly ten years. The last 2 years have been with the Axe. Before that, I used the Cybertwin (which I still have but haven't touched in a while). Before that, I used a Zoom 9050 through a Peavy Bandit (both long gone).
We play a couple brand new songs every week which keeps me on my toes. I generally take and modify a template to the specific sound that suits the song and then save the preset with the new song name. I have quite a collection of "shareable" presets available. Each preset utilizes 5 scenes (left to right, clean, crunch, chorus (spangle), rhythm, and solo). I use two modified Ernie ball jr volume pedals as expression pedals. One pedal is used as a volume boost and the other controls effects like wah, delay, or anything specific to the individual song. When creating new patches, I like to explore the different amps and cabs available although I do fall back on the JCM 800, AC30, USA Clean and Trip Tik sounds. I use the dotted 1/8 quite a bit since it is quite a big part of P&W however, I'm trying to tame it down a little. Too much delay and reverb can really wash out the entire band sound and a drier sound gives the sound man a little more to work with.
There's my 2 cents. The Axe has changed my music and the forum has been a great inspiration to my music.
