Cliff, I had posted on "anyone not a fan of 6" that I was having trouble getting punchy palm mutes. well today I tried 6.01 and didn't have any issues, it sounded and responded great. well the other day when I was having the issue it was on my AX8, so I assumed the AX8 and the Axe FxII were pretty much the same but today I ran them both through my Friedmans and my CLR's with the same preset and it's the AX8 I'm having trouble with and not the AxeFx. it's not a big difference but the AxeFx is tighter and puncher on my setup than the AX8. Both are running 6.01 thanks for your hard work, I'm not asking you to change anything at all, just wanted to clarify this.
