Does this come the Axiom V2 update, too? I haven't had a chance to update Axiom yet, will hopefully be able to do it this weekend

It's actually already Axiom 2.05!

I will never understand in a million years how one gain stage of destructor can replicate 5 gain stages of cascading gain AND the power amp.

I spent a good 4 months staring at the UI trying to figure it out, the "dynamic" part, and where you set "dynamics". it's the little purple and blue triangle sliders about 3 pixels wide without labels!! dynamic threshold and dynamic ceiling. now we're cooking

In some cases you may indeed have to use several instances of Destructor in series for very hi gain tones (two instances is usually enough).

This part is pretty advanced indeed but it is all explained in details in the manual. You may want to give a try to tone maps as well - it helps finding your tone without having to dig into the details of each parameters. It is also a pretty good way to learn the, by watching ow they move while exploring the tone maps.
