PERFORMANCE CONTROL PAGES
INTRODUCTION
The two Performance Control pages of the Axe-Fx III provide a way for you to design and build your own custom
front panel menu pages, each with your choice of any ten knobs, switches, or parameters from any block.
Performance Control pages eliminate the need for menu-diving to find the controls for your favorite settings.
The ten on-screen knobs map directly to the front panel A, B, C, D, and E knobs of the Axe-Fx III. This creates an
experience very much like using a traditional amp or pedal where what what you see is what you get.
One of the Performance Control pages is “Global” meaning that the 10 parameters you place there remain the
same even as you change presets. The values of these controls change — for instance, if you place AMP 1/
TREBLE, you will see the Treble setting change from say, 6, to 3 to 10 as you switch presets, but the AMP 1/
TREBLE knob itself will always appear in the same place on the Global Performance Control page. Meanwhile,
the “Per Preset” Performance Control page allows you to choose up to ten different parameters in each and every
preset. One preset might show ten Amp controls, while the next shows ten effect controls, while the next shows
a mix of both. Each parameter on the page shows a 2-line text label. By default, these show the block name/
number, and the parameter name, but you can change these to custom values.
The two Performance Control pages are located in the

to either Per-Preset (“Perform-PP”) or Global (“Perform-Gbl”) tabs. Use the NAV buttons to switch between the
controls. Use the A,B,C,D or E knobs or VALUE to make changes. Because these pages are designed for use
during a performance, the Axe-Fx III will not leave them if you change presets or scenes.
In summary, Performance Control pages represent a powerful way to design the perfect setup for quick changes,
such as during a soundcheck, or even (gasp) in the middle of a solo.
