Any thoughts on the new wah block improvements?

Hey all! I haven't gotten to update to the new FW but was curious and excited about the new wah improvements! Anyone digging in with the new wah stuff yet? My only complaint about the past versions was that I didnt think any of the options had enough depth. Any thoughts?

Axe FX in Fallujah video

Love this band. Great solo is this vid too. Not sure if they're using the axe for fx only but whatever, thought I'd give these guys some love on here. I heard they were Kemper dudes... Maybe things have changed?
