Control Parameters
The Control page (“CTRL”) of the I/O menu allows external controllers to be assigned to onboard functions. Besides
extensive MODIFIER capabilities (p.
124
), the Axe-Fx II also has 100+ dedicated functions that can be assigned for
remote control via MIDI CC messages or the onboard PEDAL jack. These include global input and output volumes,
tap tempo, tuner, the bypass functions for every individual block in the inventory, the block X/Y switches, the
Looper controls, and more.
To assign a controller to a desired item, select it and turn the
VALUE
dial to select a MIDI CC number, or choose
“PEDAL” for the onboard jack. Set to NONE to disable remote control. The Axe-Fx II also has a “learn” feature that
allows it to detect control sources automatically. Select the desired item, press ENTER, use the remote controller
to send some data, and the source will be set automatically. This is also a good way to ensure that remote devices
are in fact set up and transmitting correctly.
Unless otherwise noted, all functions interpret MIDI CC values of 0–63 as “OFF” and 64–127 as “ON.”
PARAMETER
Description
INPUT VOLUME
NONE/PEDAL/0-127
This controls the global input volume at the start of the preset chain and is useful to
assign when you want to emulate the behavior of a volume pedal between the guitar
and the amp. Changes in level equate to changes in distortion amount, and effect tails
ring out when volume is lowered.
OUT 1 VOLUME
NONE/PEDAL/0-127
This controls global OUTPUT 1 volume (after the preset’s output mixer) and is useful
to assign when you want to control playback levels without changing any other aspect
of the sound. Amplifier input levels are unaffected for consistent distortion at any
level, and effect tail levels will be adjusted as well.
OUT 2 VOLUME
NONE/PEDAL/0-127
This controls global OUTPUT 2 volume (after the output the FX Block, or after it is
copied from OUT1, see section
9.2
). This is useful when you want to control playback
levels for OUT1 and OUT2 independently, without changing any other aspect of the
sound, or if you want a pedal to control the SEND level to an outboard device in the
loop.
BYPASS
NONE/PEDAL/0-127
Operates the front panel
BYPASS
button (p.
8
) remotely.
TEMPO TAP
NONE/PEDAL/0-127
Provides the ability to set the Global Tempo (see p.
146
) through a remote switch.
IMPORTANT:
Any data value (0-127) for the assigned CC# counts as a tap, so do not
use a momentary switch set up to send 127 for ON and 0 for OFF, or you will end up
with double-time!
TUNER
NONE/PEDAL/0-127
Provides a way to enter or exit the TUNER function remotely.
EXT CTRL 1–12
NONE/PEDAL/0-127
This is where you specify which incoming MIDI CC# should be assigned to each of the
12 External Controllers available as Modifier sources (p.
132
).
LOOPER REC, PLAY,
ONCE, DUB, REV, BYPASS
Each of the controls of the Looper block (p.
74
) may be remote controlled.
