Just to say panic seems to be over - the problem appears to have been USB or Axe-Edit related. I completely overlooked that I was connected via USB at the time - and while I powered down the Axe several times trying things, I didn't disconnect the USB, relaunch Axe-Edit or restart the PC.
I tried again at a later stage and didn't have Axe-Edit or USB connected and all was 100% - I then tried using Axe-Edit again but couldn't replicate the problem - so I'm assuming at this point something had crashed in Axe-Edit or the USB drivers.
Not my intention to cause any undue 'bad press' on the Axe2 - I'm loving it! But maybe this post will point someone else to the root of the problem if they experience a similar problem.

Only about the 6th time I've plugged into my Axe2 ready to get working on presets and now the front instrument input has died away to a barely audible distorted ghost .... bah!
Yes, I've tried different cables and guitar so it's not anything before the input. Moving the jack up and down slightly brings back the full tone/volume intermittently so if it was an analogue device I'd just say it was a dry solder joint or a short in the input socket wiring connection - but not sure whats behind the input socket on this beast.
Before I open it up - can anyone who's had a peek inside remember if the input socket wiring is accessible or is it wired into or hidden behind a pcb or anything weird?
Bit of a sickener if I have to return the unit just because of a lousy input jack socket!
