Graphic Equalizer [GEQ]
The
Graphic Equalizer
is a 10-band equalizer with band centers at 31, 63, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000,
and 16,000 Hz. Each band can boost or cut up to 12 dB. Simply select the desired band with the
NAV
buttons and
use
VALUE
to vary the gain.
Each Axe-Fx II preset can use four fully independent
Graphic Equalizer
blocks.
The AMP block (p.
39
) has a built-in, 8-band graphic equalizer at its output, making it unnecessary to follow it with a
separate GEQ. There is also a global, 10-band graphic equalizer on each output (p.
134
), which can be used to
modify the sound of
all
presets at once.
The
Graphic Equalizer
is stereo-in/stereo-out. Its
LEVEL
,
BALANCE,
and
BYPASS MODE
parameters are covered in
additional detail on p.
117
.

Looper [LPR]
The Axe-Fx has a full-featured
Looper
which allows you to create multi-layered performances in real time. The
maximum loop time varies from 15 to 60 seconds, depending on your choices for mono/stereo/undo.
Looper functions can be operated from the Axe-Fx front panel, or remotely via MIDI. Looper CC# assignments
appear on the CONTROL page of the I/O menu (p. 139).
Looper Basic Controls
RECORD
– When you press
RECORD,
the Looper starts recording (if you hadn’t guessed as much we have to
wonder…) Here’s something that’s not as obvious: press record again to stop recording and instantly start
playback. This prevents you needing to hunt around for more than one footswitch to start a loop. If the record
length reaches the maximum allowed for the current mode, recording will end and playback will stop
automatically.
PLAY
– This switch has two functions: use it to stop recording and begin playback, or use it to instantly stop
playback that is already rolling. A momentary switch can be assigned to
PLAY
for stutter effects.
ONCE
–
Toggles “auto-stop at loop-end,” so that if playback is running, the looper will stop automatically
when it reaches the end of the loop. If playback is already stopped,
ONCE
will start playback, play through the
loop and then stop. You cannot go directly from
RECORD
to
ONCE
.
STACK
– Overdubs audio on an existing loop. Pressing it again stops the addition but playback continues.
Existing audio is faded every time through the loop based on the setting of the
DUB MIX
parameter on the
Looper’s MIX page.
UNDO
– This removes the most recently recorded overdub. Undo removes a given “take,” defined as
everything between when you pressed
STACK
to start overdub recording and when you turned it off.
REV
– Pressing this reverses the direction of the Looper. Playback and
STACK
recording are supported.
