What this list is for
Taken from this thread:
oddb0d: I started putting together a suggested list of accessories you might want to consider when you purchase an Axe FX. I thought this might help out a lot of the newbies that show up here. A lot of time, there is new equipment to buy....
The list is not comprehensive, it has some gaps, but I wanted to put this out as a draft. I will add to it as you update this post, hopefully atthe end we can see what we have out there.... I thought it might be useful to do this like the way we do the feature enhancement voting. Copy the lines from the various areas for the equipment you use. I can add up the votes and update the post. Then people can see what are the most popular items in the forum.
Hopefully this makes sense.... Anyway, onto the list!
