Buying the Axe FX II was by far the best music related purchase I ever made but I do think that Roland's VG-99 definitely does do somethings that I wish the Axe could do...especially with the tunings and changing instruments with midi. With the VG-99 you could basically tune whatever string to whatever you want...and switch between different guitars, basses, acoustics. The #1 most important thing to me is sound quality, and obviously the Axe II is the best, but if it had the midi capabilities of the VG-99, all you would need would be a guitar with midi and your new Axe III and you could be a one man band for real. I could imagine that the midi portion would have to have its own processor which would drive the cost of the unit up even higher, but in theory, it would be everything someone would need.
