My favourite uses of the Axe-Fx ever has been Cooper Carter and Brett Kingman on YouTube, particularly with the Ernie Ball Music Man. It seems the hotter humbucker pickup output warms the sound of otherwise cold, digital emulation up a bit to my ears. I'm wondering if something like four Lace pickups wired to be coil splittable humbuckers could be hot enough to give a warmer sound on a customised guitar. The only thing stopping me from being amazingly excited about running out and buying an Axe-Fx now is I just can't hear enough warmth and there is a tiny bit of grain in the top end with digital. Still AUD$4,000 for a III Mk II is great value but unless I can get a way of making the grain and coolness work I'll have to keep waiting.
