I don't, but people do...
You know there's a Suhr Riot (2 actually) in the box, right?
Sweet! What are these named in the Axe Fx 3? Great info, thanks!
Oh, yeah - 3 now!Suhr Riot GE, Suhr Riot LED and Suhr Riot LED/Si

To each his own, but i can't see a good reason to slam the input of a digital device.
Fuzzes, bit crushers, and other non-traditional gain for me, though I use input-output 3 as a loop. Right now, it’s a Beetronics Swarm and WMD Geiger Counter. Trashy, glitchy filth. I’ve tried a couple of regular drives, but there’s enough variation on traditional gain inside the box already.
