Axe-Master
In the AX8 I use it quite a bit (No FM3 yet, so I have not tried it with newer modelling).
I think, it is an important part of some sounds. Celestion Blues in an AC30 on full tilt compress quite a lot. Also the small old Fender amps with AlNiCo speakers can be fantastic when they are driven to large amounts of speaker compression.
If you are running a Mesa rig with the master at 3-4 into a 300W cabinet with V30's you probably won't have much speaker compression.
