Utilities
The Utilities section, accessed by pressing the front panel
UTILITY
button, contains five pages of menus
containing settings and tools that do not affect the sound or routing of the Axe-Fx II.
10.1
LCD Contrast
The
LCD
page of the UTILITY menu contains a single adjustment slider, used to set the contrast of the built-in
display to ensure good readability in different viewing environments.
10.2
Preset Utilities
The
PRESET
page of the UTILITY menu contains dump and backup utilities. Each of the options listed is executed by
selecting it and pressing
ENTER
to transmit or “dump” the selected memory area to an external device for
backup, editing, or other purposes. Be sure to note that dumps to MIDI and USB are initiated with separate menu
choices.
Backup and restore operations are detailed in
Section 13
beginning on p.

10.3
Status Meters
The Status meter page of the UTILITY menu contains audio meters for Input 1 Left and Right (L1, R1), Input 2 Left
and Right (L2, R2), Output 1 Left and Right (L1, R1), and Output 2 Left and Right (L2, R2). The meter scale is -80 to 0
db.
The front panel also shows the levels for Input 1 L+R and Input 2 L+R on stereo LED meters.
To the right of the I/O section, CPU Utilization (CPU%) is shown on its own meter. The total CPU usage must not
exceed 98% or the entire system could destabilize. The Axe-Fx II works to prevent this condition from occurring.
