I think the deep editing potential of the Axe II gives users the  
option to explore and tweak to their heart's content, if they so  
desire. But it's also very easy to get great sounding tones with very  
little editing/tweaking. If having too many options produces anxiety  
in some users, then it's easy to ignore all of those extra menus and  
parameters. I think it's pretty simple to find inspiring tones and get  
down to the business of creating music. If, on the other hand, you  
really like to explore every single parameter under the sun, the Axe  
II is a dream come true for those types. Seems to me both bases--and  
both types of end users-- are covered.
