The AXE-FX sounds intriguing, but the website and owners manual seem short on details. Like, "what amps/fx/cabs are we simulating?" and "how do we get more?"

I can vouch for the Grado SR-80s.

Another vote for Grado sr-80s, some of the best headphones money can buy, and they're under £100!
My last FM.
ESP Horizon NTII.
ESP Viper Camo.
ENGL Screamer.

I am not sure I am helping myself with my choice of headphones either, I have a set of noise cancelling Bose's they are great for music but not sure they are right for this application.

Yeah whatever you end up with you'll use your headphones so it makes sense to get a nice one. I have a AKG K271 studio and it's great. Great sound, very comfy and I can use it for over two hours without being in pain. Lots of people like the Sennheiser HD25 but I'm not a fan of on ear headphones. Grados are apparently good too.

akg's are good i almost got a pair of those (also cheap) if ur looking for lower priced headphones my votes go to akgs, (which look cool to boot) senhiesers, (although the lower end stuff doesnt compare to these other brands it sounds abit artificial to my ear...) grados (although not for style or noise councelling but sound is excelent)
or audio technica's , i got a pair of ath-es7's and their increadable for ipod use, (they may not be best for guitar but i have also tried some of the studio range which can be bought cheap and i beleive these or grados are the best for clear organic sounds for studio use at a lower price, truly excelent company .... (sorry i cant be more specific for your needs , i dont really do modellers.....)

Yeah, tell us!

(I'm still not interested in even considering upgrading to Axe, honest... no really... :lol:)

But I am very interested in hearing about it :D

It's going ok. I have no band commitments at the moment so am giving myself plenty of time to fiddle around with it. There are a lot of options but I am finding out some make very subtle differences and others pretty major ones.
I have been pretty much focused on playing around with the Mark IV lead channel mode at the moment as it’s an amp I have always wanted.
I am pleased I bought it, it’s going to take a long time for me to fully figure everything out but I am getting to a point where I can make stuff up from scratch quickly and have it sounding good.
I won’t be selling my amp though; I am pretty much a plug and play guy when it comes to playing live.
