I posted something similar on Gearslutz, but it's very relevant for this forum as well.
If you want to get the best recording patch you can get, then create your guitar presets though a single Auratone Mixcube. That'll put the focus on your mids. If you already have your stable of presets, then revise them through the Mixcube as well. Chances are you'll hear things that make you go lemon-faced and correct accordingly. A reference track from a CD with a sound close to what you were going for, also played through the Mixcube, is a big big help here. It doesn't matter if you have the Axe-Fx II or another Axe-Fx. In the end, you'll probably need less processing as far as EQ is concerned when it's time to mix your guitars tracks. Remember, I'm talking about recording patches here, not live patches.
The funny thing is that since I started doing that 2 weeks ago, when I'm just noodling around with my guitar, I almost prefer playing though the Mixcube now than through my HS-80M.
