Axe-FX Owners: Do you use overdrive pedals in front of it?

Anybody still using floor pedals after acquiring the Axe-FX? Seems like it has all of the effects covered, just wondering if any of you guys goose the front end of it with an OD / booster / etc.

I sold all my pedals but I'm sure some people are still using their favorite pedals with it.

No, didn't sound good to me, but others use may have varied.

I've used my favorite pedal, the GSR, in front and it sounded great. But in the spirit of simplicity and AxeFx elegance, I tried to emulate that pedal with what the AF has. I can get close. Close enough, but not exact. It'd be nice to have that pedal modeled, but in the meantime, I'm good with close enough. So no, I don't use pedals in front anymore, but the ones I tried (GSR, CrunchBox, SRB808, Keeley TS9, few others that escape me at the moment) all sounded really good. My impression from reading other threads is that the AF takes pedals quite well. At least as well as pedal friendly amps.

I did, but found that I didn't need them anymore. IMHO, YMMV.

So can the Axe-FX accurately get the sound of various fuzzes too along with their radical change with the guitar volume knob?

Bump, I'd also like to know if you can get good fuzz sounds from this unit such as the Fuzz Factory or a Fuzz God II. Can you get crazy oscillations?
