Answer:
Buying stock in Rocktron? How much did the whole thing set you back? Not to knock yours or anything, but I've never been a fan of Rocktron. Everything I've had of theirs or played was pretty noisy, but those were just effects.
Answer:
Luckyy.
Answer:
Sweet. Well, have fun. I've always thought that having sometihng like that would confuse the heck out of me, so I'll stick to a good ol' guitar>couple effects>amp type deal.
Answer:

I really, REALLY like it. The 4 channels are a terrific thing, and each one has it's own distinct character. I'm going to buy a Power Brake at some point so I can really pin it's ears back on a regular basis, but right now I need to spend some time fiddling with it and the Xpression through midi to get things tweaked in and the presets set up before I do that.
On about "3" on the 4th channel it'll give tasty feedback and basically infinite sustain.
I, of course, turned it up to "10" once the day I got it, and with the 4x12" it was brutally loud.
I appreciate a few other things:
The guitar you're playing never loses it's character, even when the gain is pegged. Strats sound like Strats, Teles sound like Teles, the Kramer sounds like the Kramer.
You never lose individual notes within a chord, even with the gain pegged. Every note rings and you can clearly pick them out.
The 7-string sounds amazing through it. One issue I had with my Line 6 AX2 was the fact that it wasn't as good at dealing with the low "B". This amp doesn't mind it at all, and it seems like they emphasized that aspect of the guitar world with it. Tight, focused, chunky.
This weekend is going to be an adventure midi-wise... I have a lot to figure out.
Answer:
....and a set of ear muffs!

Everything I've had of theirs or played was pretty noisy, but those were just effects. They have some awesome rack units, including the Xpression and the Intellifex. I have the Intellifex, and for the price, it has some great delay, reverb, and really awesome chorus (up to 8 voices!).
Answer:
Guys, PacerX just spent a lot of money on guitar stuff.

Yeppers.
The Vendetta was designed by Egnater, and sounds pretty nice to my ears.
While I visited, Dave Mustaine's All Access midi controller was in for repair, complete with the song names under the switches... seeing that was pretty cool.
