Eventide h3000 anyone?
I love my axefx and I am a front panel programmer almost exclusively. I find it isn't particularly intuitive to program but that's not why I bought it. I care more about how it sounds.
I do wish it had a more knobs and switches which default to each particular amp model. Considering each channel of a multi-channel amp is a separate amp block, as few as 8 rotary controllers would probably do it.
I also agree with the OP about the resolution of the screen. The more info displayable in one go, the less need to scroll through menus.
These two things alone aren't exactly big waves are they? And they would vastly improve the front panel programming experience.
