Moving Effects
Effects can be moved once placed. To do this select the
MOVE
page using the
PAGE
buttons.
Highlight the desired block (or row or column) to be moved and then select the appropriate move
function using the value dial. Press
ENTER
to execute the function. When moving a block in a
complex routing the routing to that block may be destroyed. In this case you will need to restore the
routing. Simply use the
ENTER
button as usual to reroute the block.
Editing Effects
To edit the effect press the
EDIT
button. This brings up the edit display for that effect. If more than
one effect is present in a preset successive presses of the
EDIT
button will bring up the next effect's
edit display. Try it.
Bring up the Chorus edit display. There are three pages in this display. The first page is the
BASIC
page. Most effects have a basic editing page allowing quick access to the most frequently used
parameters. Use the navigation buttons to move around in the page. Change the parameter values
using the value dial. To access the other pages in the display use the
PAGE
buttons. The chorus
also has an
ADV
(advanced) page. This offers in-depth editing of all the parameters available in the
chorus effect.
NOTE: To reset an effect to its default parameters double-click the
BYPASS
button.
Effect Mixer
Each effect has an output mixer. Its controls are usually on the
MIX
page. Use the
PAGE
buttons to
access the
MIX
page. Most effects have a
MIX
page like this. The
MIX
page allows you to control the
mix, level, panning and bypass mode of the effect. On some effects these controls may be duplicated
on other pages as they are frequently used. Not all effects have a
MIX
or
GLBL MIX
control. These
are effects that don’t mix wet and dry but just output processed (100% wet) signals. Examples are
the equalizers and the Amp Simulator.
The
MIX
control controls the ratio of wet and dry signals. With the control fully clockwise the output
signal of the effect is 100% wet meaning that only the effected signal is present. For effects like
chorus, reverb, delay etc. adjust the
MIX
control to achieve the desired effect amount. When routing
effects in parallel you'll often want to set the mix to 100% and use the
LEVEL
control to control the
mix of that effect.
The
LEVEL
control controls the output level of the block. The mixed signal is increased or decreased
according to this control. The proper way to set the level is to bypass the effect using the
EFF BYP
button and compare the levels. Adjust the level until the volume is the same with the effect active.
You may desire some boost with a particular effect active (distortion for example) so you can also
increase the level to achieve this.
The
PAN
control controls the output panning of the mixed signal. Every effect in the Axe-Fx has
stereo outputs. With the control at 12:00 the signal is equal in both the left and right channels.
Turning the control left or right pans the signal accordingly. The
PAN
control can be used to achieve
complex stereo routings with different effects on the left and right.
