    How many presets do you really use live?

    4 for me. Clean, gritty, main distorted patch and the a solo patch with a bit more gain. This covers all my needs live.Plus cc controlled effects and wah. Oh and I always have a volume pedal programed after the cab so I can fit in the mix for any given song.

    Those of us with Standards, it's okay.

    Same here. I am sure I will step up to the new Axe2 but I am fine with the standard. Never needed an ultra because of the same sound quality but if the new sound is that much better then Hell yeah.I get great tones everyday out of my standard. Love it. I still got an MP 1 and a lexicon mpx G2...

    Thinking about buying an axe-fx...would you do it again?

    the flubby flub blues

    Help make my mind up (Standard or Ultra)

    I can afford an Ultra But went with the Standard instead. I just need simple rig setups. Standard is perfect for my needs.Even if the upgrades stop today, I will have more than I can ever use. Just my 2 cents

    Axe PC

    I am putting in a request for a crossgrade to the muse receptor. I will gladly pay a fee for this if it can be done. This way I could leave my axe in the studio and take out the muse as an axe-fx vst version as well as my guitar synth stuff in 1 module. Terry 8-)

    Why everything you dial in might have the same sound?
