One of the biggest challenges with the Axe FX is the learning curve. For a normal guitar player who is used to normal amps, it is very overwhelming to step beyond the "Tone" tab on the Amp block. Most of the parameters are deep tweaking / amp modification stuff that most people don't need to mess with. The problem is: mixed in with those are a handful of really important ones, like the Speaker Impedance Curve. How is a new Fractal user to know the difference? Of course, they can learn from the forum, but, ideally, the unit itself should make this more intuitive.
My idea for a solution is to hand pick the most crucial parameters and put them in a new "Basic" tab right behind the Tone tab. Naturally, this would be a duplication and those parameters would still appear in their current places as well (similar to how things are duplicated on the Advanced tab).
See my other thread for which parameters I think belong on the Basic tab.

P.S. I also recommend making Gain Enhancer the default choice for Output Compressor. New users from the real amp world really need to experience this right away vs finding out about it later or never knowing the Axe can do this.
