I have never in the past had any issue with the tuner in AxeEdit, but I find in the latest iteration, that it is sluggish and difficult to tune, and this behavior also is in Ax8Edit with 9.02 as well....anyone else notice this..?

Has anybody tried to determine the cash value of all AxeFX amps/FX?

Taking into account the current US resale values of every amp and FX in our box, I would imagine we have close to if not upwards of seven figures ,tho of course the actual value of having all this gear is basically priceless..anybody ever make the effort to come up with a number..?
